The real estate market of Uzbekistan has shown a noticeable increase in activity in April 2022. At the same time, experts noted that the relatively high share of real estate acquired by legal entities in the Jizzakh (4.6%) and Navoi (5.1%) regions indicates the attractiveness of commercial real estate for business in these regions.
In April 2022, the number of registered real estate purchase and sale transactions in Uzbekistan amounted to 23.4 thousand, which is 15.1% more than in March this year (20.3 thousand). The growth compared to the same period last year was 12.6% (20.8 thousand).
