This is due to the growth of real incomes (+11% for 9 months), strengthening of the soum, and high demand for car loans, mortgages, and consumer loans. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Reduction of industrial lending:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Industry \u2014 25% of the portfolio (-1%). The decrease may be due to high interest rates (loans for businesses \u2014 20-25% per annum), strengthening of the soum (exporters lose competitiveness), or banks switching to retail lending with higher returns. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Construction boom:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Construction increased by 33% to 17.2 trillion soums. This is due to active housing construction, infrastructure projects, and the demand for mortgages. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sustainable growth in agriculture:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Agriculture \u2014 10% of the portfolio (+14%). The state actively supports the agricultural sector with preferential loans, stimulating growth. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sedimentation in transport:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Transport and communications decreased by 6% to 32.5 trillion. This may be due to the completion of large infrastructure projects or the reorientation of banks to other sectors. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Context<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Portfolio growth of 13%<\/strong> is ahead of inflation (8%), which indicates a real increase in lending. However, the dominance of individuals (36%) creates risks: consumer loans are more volatile and sensitive to economic shocks. <\/p>\n<p><strong>A high share of retail loans<\/strong> is characteristic of developing markets, where the population is actively increasing consumption. However, in developed countries, the share of corporate loans is usually higher, as they finance investments and economic growth. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The decrease in lending to industry<\/strong> (-1%) is an alarming signal: the real sector needs financing to modernize and expand production. High rates and the strengthening of the soum reduce the attractiveness of loans for exporters. <\/p>\n<p><strong>The boom in construction<\/strong> (+33%) is supported by state programs for housing construction and mortgage. However, rapid growth creates risks of overheating of the real estate market. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Agriculture<\/strong> (+14%) receives support through preferential loans, but remains vulnerable to weather conditions and fluctuations in raw material prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The loan portfolio of Uzbekistan&#8217;s commercial banks grew by 13% as of October 1, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":11867,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sharing_image":{"poster":"https:\/\/frank.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/69008e955e50b.jpg","width":1200,"height":630,"template":"2bf59057","mode":"auto"},"_sharing_image_fieldset":{"Dv78f24rp1hU":11867,"YlB8HH34jIzY":"Banks&#8217;
