Uzbekistan's economy increases by 9.3% over first six months this year / Özbekistan ilk 6 ayda yüzde 9.3 büyüdü

They are, of course, still working from a very low baseline so 9.3% growth is still not earthshaking. Kazakhstan has an economy five times the size of that in Uzbekistan for example in spite of having a lower population.
