South Korea’s Eximbank ready to finance new Korea-Uzbekistan projects amid economic reforms

The Export-Import Bank of Korea (Eximbank) announced readiness to support a new wave of projects between Korea and Uzbekistan, focusing on infrastructure, supply chains, and technology-driven industries.
Eximbank aims to convert government-level cooperation into real business projects and investments, serving as a bridge between the two countries.
Uzbekistan is positioning itself as an investor-friendly market for Korean companies, with cooperation expanding from energy infrastructure to artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and new industries.
Eximbank employs various financing tools, including the Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF), export credit agency financing, and supply chain cooperation funds.
EDCF has supported 20 projects in Uzbekistan worth about $1.4 billion, including the Tashkent Medical Cluster and the Pharmaceutical Cluster (Pharma Park).
Eximbank has participated in large-scale gas chemical and natural gas processing projects, is reviewing cooperation for the New Tashkent Airport, and supports Korean companies expanding in Uzbekistan through credit lines with local financial institutions.
