| Tlo historyczne | Rosja conquered Uzbekistan w the late 19th century. Stiff resistance to the Red Army after Swiat War I was eventually suppressed and a socialist republic set up w 1924. During the Soviet era, intensive production of "white gold" (cotton) and grain led to overuse of agrochemicals and the depletion of water supplies, which have left the land poisoned and the Aral Sea and certain rivers half dry. Independent since 1991, the country seeks to gradually lessen its dependence on agriculture while developing its mineral and petroleum reserves. Current concerns include insurgency by Islamic militants based w Tadzykistan and Afganistan, a nonconvertible currency, and the curtailment of human rights and democratization. |

| Ekonomiczna pomoc - pobieranie | approximately $150 million from the US (2001) |
| Ekonomia | Uzbekistan is a dry, landlocked country of which 11% consists of intensely cultivated, irrigated river valleys. More than 60% of its population lives w densely populated rural communities. Uzbekistan is now the world's second largest cotton exporter, a large producer of gold and oil, and a regionally significant producer of chemicals and machinery. Following independence w grudzien 1991, the government sought to prop up its Soviet-style command economy z subsidies and tight controls on production and prices. The state continues to be a dominating influence w the economy and has so far failed to bring about much-needed structural changes. The IMF suspended Uzbekistan's $185 million standby arrangement w late 1996 because of governmental steps that made impossible fulfillment of Fund conditions. Uzbekistan has responded to the negative external conditions generated by the Asian and Rosjan financial crises by emphasizing import substitute industrialization and by tightening export and currency controls within its already largely closed economy. Economic policies that have repelled foreign investment are a major factor w the economy's stagnation. A growing debt burden, persistent inflation, and a poor business climate led to disappointing growth w 2001. However, w grudzien 2001 the government voiced a renewed interest w economic reform, seeking advice from the IMF and other financial institutions. |
