4. Prospects and implications
- the slowdown in economic growth due to Corona 19 is inevitable
Very passive attitude towards new import intentions and offers on deals.
-Ability to give preference to the import of basic and inexpensive items due to rising import prices due to the weakening purchasing power of consumers due to lower national income and a sharp increase in exchange rates.
- Therefore, it is expected that the price competitiveness of domestic products competing with China will decrease, and the intention to import Chinese products is the highest.
▶ However, given the tendency to slow the spread of Crown 19 and the growing voice of people to resume economic activity, the government of Uzbekistan is more likely to announce measures to stimulate the economy.
In the long run, demand for imports of goods related to manufacturing, automotive, and construction is expected to increase again.
