Respondents to the survey raised a number of concerns relating to the ease of trade in Uzbekistan. These concerns dovetail with a large body of work the OECD has conducted, in co-operation with the government, on issues around trade facilitation and connectivity. Despite the geographical connectivity penalties Uzbekistan faces due to its double landlocked status, the country has potential to be an attractive destination for market-seeking investment: a large and expanding population, nestled in the midst of a number of other small but potentially high-growth markets. Yet, for both domestic and international firms to harness potential market opportunities, there remains much to be done to lower the cost of trade and raise awareness of external opportunities for the domestic private sector. This chapter introduces a number of insights from the survey, before giving an overview of recent progress, opportunities, and challenges in trade facilitation and export promotion in Uzbekistan.
