Uzbekistan may completely abandon gas exports, the board chairman of the Uztransgaz company Behzot Narmatov reported.

“Perhaps in the near future, all gas produced in Uzbekistan will remain in Uzbekistan, because chemical plants are expanding, it is necessary to support the domestic economy. Yes, there was export, but we still do not have the same economic dynamics. We need to create jobs, but export in its pure form - well, how profitable is this for the economy, when can it be processed and create additional value chains?” Narmatov said, adding that exports could stop by 2025-2026. 

At the moment, about 10% of the gas produced in Uzbekistan is exported to China.
