Uzbekistan. Weekly News: Uzbekistan’s permanent population reaches 37 million

As of April 21, Uzbekistan's population has reached a milestone of 37 million people, marking a 2.2% increase over the past year, according to the Statistics Agency of Uzbekistan. This surge presents unique opportunities and challenges for the country as it continues to develop.
One of the most significant opportunities arising from this population growth is the expansion of the labor force. With an additional 774,900 people, Uzbekistan sees a potential boost in productivity and economic expansion. This demographic shift could invigorate key sectors such as technology, manufacturing, and services, driving overall economic progress.
The growing population also enlarges Uzbekistan's consumer market, offering vast opportunities for businesses. Increased consumer demand across various sectors can lead to higher sales volumes and encourage both local and foreign investments in the retail and real estate sectors, among others.
