According to data from the National Statistics Committee, UZS 156.3 trillion in fixed capital investments were absorbed from all financing sources between January and March, showing a robust growth of 29.6% compared to the same period in the previous year.

This highlights the increasing interest of international investors in the country's developing sectors.
