Since 2021, the EU’s GSP+ scheme has functioned as the cornerstone of Uzbekistan’s strategy to shift from
historical dependence on Russia and Chinese markets. This paper investigates the efficacy of this trade regime, questioning
whether preferential access has successfully inspired industrial growth or merely highlighted structural inefficiencies. Also,
the paper models “No-GSP+” scenario. It argues that the expiration or withdrawal of these preferences would have a huge
impact on sectors like textiles, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, metal products. The findings suggest that GSP+ is more
than a trade preference scheme, it acts as an important support helping Uzbekistan maintain economic independence
