The oil and gas industry of the Republic of Uzbekistan is one of the main sources of GDP, budget revenues and foreign exchange earnings, and also plays a significant role in the structure of industrial production and investment attraction.

The gradual systematic reform of the industry continues on the basis of market mechanisms, creating conditions for competition, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of production, transportation, processing, development of hydrogen energy and, most importantly, to ensure the uninterrupted supply of natural gas and petroleum products to consumers. At the same time, it provides investors with experience and modern technologies with the opportunity to implement projects.

JSC "Uzbekneftegaz" received an international corporate credit rating of BB - assessed by the international credit agencies "Fitch Ratings" and "S&P Global Ratings" and successfully placed on the London Stock Exchange Eurobonds in the amount of 700 million US dollars for a period of 7 years under 4 .75%. The funds received from Eurobonds will be directed primarily to events and promising projects aimed at increasing the volume of production and processing of hydrocarbons.

The unique 5th plant in the world for the production of synthetic liquid fuel Uzbekistan GTL was launched, where import-substituting products of oil products and hydrocarbon raw materials for a total amount of more than $1 billion will be produced annually.
