In conclusion, we note that, largely due to the influx of immigrants from Russia, there has been a recent increase in salaries in Uzbekistan, but prices for a number of goods and services, particularly real estate rentals, have also risen significantly. The country's economy continues to be dominated by agriculture (cotton and fruit cultivation), as well as the extraction and export of natural gas and gold.
