Shavkat Mirziyoyev opened the plenary session of the 2026 Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF) on 17 June at the Tashkent City Congress Center. The fifth edition of the forum, running 16–19 June, is the largest since its launch: more than 8,300 participants have registered, including over 3,400 foreign delegates from 100 countries. Among those gathered are ministers of finance, sovereign wealth fund managers, development bank heads and multinational executives representing a combined asset base of more than $42 trillion.
The government's headline number is €75 billion in investment projects, prepared by Uzbek businesses and regional authorities and pitched across eight thematic sessions covering energy, transport, logistics, digital infrastructure and industrial development. The forum's theme, 'Investment Resilience: New Frontiers, New Partnerships', reflects what Tashkent reads as a global appetite for predictability at a time of supply chain fragmentation.
Uzbekistan is pitching €75 billion in projects to delegates whose combined assets exceed $42 trillion.
The Fourth Foreign Investors Council plenum is running in parallel, bringing together 75 major international companies operating in Uzbekistan. More than 120 proposals on taxation, legislation and land-use regulation have been submitted ahead of those sessions, and officials say a reform roadmap will be adopted before the forum closes. Among the specific commitments expected before the end of June is legislation establishing the Tashkent International Financial Centre, whose legal framework draws on common-law principles.
The benchmark for this edition is TIIF 2025, which closed with $30.5 billion in signed investment and trade agreements. That figure, plus a record 8,000 delegates, made last year's forum the standard the Tashkent government is now trying to exceed. The opening ceremony follows an investment roadshow the day before in which Uzbekistan floated the Uzbekistan National Investment Fund on the London Stock Exchange, bringing the investment story to a second audience in the same week.
