What happened
Uzbekistan agreed to join regional projects supported by the Asian Development Bank to improve air quality and combat desertification, and to develop a national climate data platform using satellite technologies and artificial intelligence. The Asian Development Bank also raised its 2026 economic growth forecast for Uzbekistan to 7 percent, up from 6.7 percent, citing strong domestic demand and investment.

Why it matters
The agreements reached will help expand international cooperation and attract technical and financial support for Uzbekistan’s climate and environmental initiatives. This positive outlook for Uzbekistan contrasts with the Asian Development Bank lowering its growth forecast for Central Asia and West Asia to 3.7 percent due to weaker external demand.
The Asian Development Bank and IFC are assisting Uzbekistan with discussions on regional industry growth and SME development strategies.
