TRADE AND INVESTMENT

UK Development Assistance

The UK Department for International Development ended its bilateral programme in Uzbekistan in November 2005. DFID will continue to support the Multilateral Institutions in their ongoing work in, and engagement with, Uzbekistan. For example DFID is contributing to a regional HIV/AIDS programme with the World Bank, working in Uzbekistan as well as the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan.

Trade and Investment with the UK

UK exports to Uzbekistan in 2005 totalled £21.4 million. Uzbek imports to the UK in 2005 totalled £29.1 million.

Major British companies active in Uzbekistan include: Rosehill Energy, BAT, OXUS Resources (gold mining) and PriceWaterhouseCoopers. The main forum for trade promotion is the Uzbek-British Trade and Industry Council (UBTIC). A meeting of UBTIC took place in March 2006 and was attended by government ministers from Uzbekistan as well as members of UKTI and the London Chamber of Commerce.

Since 1 April 2005, there have been no official UKTI trade services in this market to help British companies who wish to export or invest there, except for lobbying in relation to UK companies’ commercial interests by the Head of Mission.
