President announces “Business in 15 Minutes” initiative
Uzbekistan
Starting from 2026, Uzbekistan will introduce the “Business in 15 Minutes” principle. Entrepreneurs will be able to register, obtain a digital signature, open a bank account, and register a cash register in just 15 minutes instead of the current week-long process.
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has announced the launch of a new simplified business registration system — “Business in 15 Minutes” — to be implemented in 2026.
Under the new initiative, all key processes will be integrated into a single electronic service package. At the registration stage, entrepreneurs will be able to:
obtain a digital signature;
open a bank account;
sign a rental agreement if necessary;
register a cash register with tax authorities;
automatically notify state bodies responsible for the relevant field of activity.
As a result, the time required to start a business will be reduced from the current 7 days to just 15 minutes.
According to the president, this reform aims to create the most favorable conditions for entrepreneurs and significantly accelerate business activity in the country.
