(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, September 5. In the first seven months of 2025, Uzbekistan significantly reduced its reliance on imported natural gas while increasing its exports.

The data obtained by Trend from the country's National Statistics Committee indicates that from January through July, the country supplied natural gas abroad worth $438.6 million, marking a 38.2 percent increase compared to the same period last year, equivalent to $121.2 million more.

Meanwhile, gas imports into Uzbekistan fell sharply. During the same period, the country imported $734 million worth of natural gas, 30.6 percent less than the January-July 2024 figure, a reduction of $323.6 million.
