Central Bank sees no inflation risks from sugar import quotas, but experts and business disagree
Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank Nodirbek Achilov stated that the 300,000-tonne sugar import quota does not create serious risks for food inflation: sugar prices rose moderately in 2026. Experts and the UzBev association, on the contrary, warn of rising costs, lower budget revenues and questions in the context of WTO accession.
