World Trade Organization, Uzbekistan, foreign trade turnover, export diversification, trade geography, concentration index, global value chains, geoeconomic resilience.Abstract
The article examines Uzbekistan’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) from the perspective of foreign trade diversification and geoeconomic resilience. Using 2019-2025 data of the National Statistics Committee, the study calculates trade turnover dynamics, the compound annual growth rate, the export-to-import coverage ratio and partner concentration indicators. Turnover grew 1.98 times over six years, yet China and Russia jointly accounted for 37.2 percent of it, and gold made up almost a third of exports. The author argues that the gains from WTO membership depend on the quality of the trade structure more than on its volume and proposes a sectoral matrix of opportunities, risks and policy responses.
