TASHKENT, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- Uzbekistan's central bank said Friday that the country's real gross domestic product (GDP) growth is projected at 5.5 percent to 6.5 percent in 2026.
It added that headline inflation is estimated to ease to 7 percent by the end of 2026. With external inflationary pressures subsiding and expectations stabilizing, inflation is expected to fall to the 5-percent target in 2027 and stay near that level from 2028 onward, it said.
The central bank said it will maintain the policy rate at 14 percent to further curb inflation. ■
