STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIAL EFFICIENCY INDICATORS IN THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN
Keywords:
Industrial efficiency, manufacturing output, labor productivity, energy intensity, Uzbekistan, statistical analysis.Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive statistical analysis of industrial efficiency in Uzbekistan over the period 2019–2024. Drawing on data from the State Statistics Committee, the World Bank, and Macrotrends, the study examines manufacturing output growth, industrial production indices, labor productivity, investment dynamics, and energy intensity. Results confirm a sustained upward trajectory in output (manufacturing value added rose from $11.77 bn in 2019 to $19.18 bn in 2023, an 82% cumulative gain) alongside improving labor productivity (+45.7 index points, base 2019=100), yet energy intensity remains a structural challenge declining at only ~3.7%/year against a 50% reduction target by 2030. Correlation and trend analyses (R²=0.98 for labor productivity trend; r≥0.97 among output, investment, and productivity) indicate that FDI inflows and structural reforms are the primary drivers of efficiency gains. The article concludes with four targeted policy recommendations.
