Uzbekistan reveals trade turnover with Turkmenistan

Data obtained from the National Statistics Committee indicate a decrease of approximately 22.5 percent compared to the same period in 2024 ($757.0 million), but an increase of about 19.1 percent compared to 2023 ($492.4 million).

Uzbekistan’s imports from Turkmenistan totaled $503.1 million, showing that trade is largely driven by Uzbek demand for Turkmen goods, primarily energy resources, chemicals, and raw materials.
