I. Infra Trend in UZBEKISTAN
1. Infrastructure S.W.O.T
The construction industry of Uzbekistan has high potential for future development, and many projects 
are carried out through international organizations such as the Multilateral Development Bank (MDB).
Strength: The government's strong will to reform and open up, efforts to join WTO, opening up the 
foreign exchange market, attracting active foreign direct investment, is also causing a wind of change in 
the construction sector. 
Opportunity: Through the entry of foreign companies, the construction field is also becoming globalized 
away from the existing construction form by globalizing and introducing new technologies (such as 
skyscrapers).
Weakness: Many foreign companies are entering the market based on the possibility of development 
and geographical advantages of Uzbekistan, but they are suffering from insufficient market research, lack of 
understanding of the local business environment, and cultural differences.
Threat: During design, construction, the differences between international standards (ASTM, BS, etc.) 
and local standards (GOST, KMK, etc.) should be identified in advance.
Due to the nature of developing countries, there are several problems such as increased exchange rate 
volatility, administrative system problems, and lack of professionalism in accordance with international 
standards of local engineers. Therefore, sufficient market research is required.
