"The continued expansion across a broad range of service industries reflects the diversification of Uzbekistan's economy and growing domestic demand for both business and consumer services," the committee said.
According to Trend's analysis, the strong performance of financial services, which recorded the fastest growth among all market service categories at 124.9 percent, underscores the sector's expanding role in Uzbekistan's economy. The results build on earlier trends that saw financial services emerge as one of the country's largest service segments, driven by rising demand for banking, insurance, and other financial products. At the same time, robust growth in communication and information services, education, real estate, and healthcare points to increasingly diversified expansion across the service sector, supporting domestic consumption, digitalization, and broader economic modernization.
