In the first half of this year, the total amount of investment utilization amounted to 100.7 trillion soums, which is higher 2.1 times compared to the forecast.

At the same time, for investment and infrastructure projects implemented with the participation of foreign investments and loans, the disbursement volume made up US$5.6 billion, including foreign investment and loans guaranteed by the state - US$2.1 billion, foreign direct investment and loans - US$3.5 billion.

In turn, the calculation of the volume of investment per capita for the total amount of investment utilization was 3 million soums (or US$347 equivalent), including foreign investment and loans guaranteed by the state - US$61.7, foreign direct investment and loans – US$105.
