Uzbekistan Hosts 336 U.S. Companies

Tashkent city accounts for the majority, hosting 237 companies, a testament to its role as Uzbekistan’s primary financial and commercial hub

As of December 1, 2025, Uzbekistan is home to 336 enterprises with U.S. capital participation, according to data released by the National Statistics Committee. The figures reflect the growing presence of American businesses in Uzbekistan amid ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral economic ties.

Of the total, 146 are joint ventures, while 190 are fully foreign-owned enterprises. Tashkent city accounts for the majority, hosting 237 companies, a testament to its role as Uzbekistan’s primary financial and commercial hub. Tashkent region follows with 31 companies, while Samarkand region hosts 19.

Other regions with U.S.-capital enterprises include Bukhara (8), Kashkadarya and Navoi (6 each), Fergana and Jizzakh (5 each), Andijan, Syrdarya, and the Republic of Karakalpakstan (4 each), Namangan and Khorezm (3 each), and Surkhandarya (1).

The latest data comes amid a broader institutional push to enhance Uzbekistan-U.S. economic cooperation. In November 2025, the government launched the Uzbekistan-U.S. Business and Investment Council, a new platform aimed at deepening trade and investment ties. The initiative was formalized by presidential decree on November 12, following agreements reached during President Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s official visit to Washington for the C5+1 summit.

In a further step to facilitate business and tourism links, Uzbekistan introduced a visa-free regime for U.S. citizens starting January 1, 2026, allowing stays of up to 30 days.
