Shavkat Mirziyoyev familiarised with key strategic reforms
Economy
The head of state was presented with plans for important strategic reforms planned for this year.
"In 2024, we must complete all stages of forming the foundation of a market economy and by 2025 raise the national economy to a new level of quality," the president said.
The "Uzbekistan - 2030" strategy sets a goal to achieve a GDP of $160bn and a per capita income of $4,000 by 2030 to raise incomes above average. To achieve this, it is necessary to continue the processes of economic transformation, ensure a favourable investment environment and increase added value in agriculture.
The presentation looks at reforms in five key areas: transport, urbanisation, entrepreneurship, agriculture and energy.
One of the important factors in the development of the economy is the utilisation of transport opportunities. Given the country's remoteness from sea routes, the emphasis is on developing air and rail routes. Last year, 6 airlines were established and 28 new aircraft were purchased. The private sector has been involved in the development of Samarkand International Airport.
For further development, it is necessary to accelerate the transformation of Uzbekistan Airports and Uzbekistan Airways, and to continue the transfer of airports into private hands for more efficient management.
It is necessary to provide regions with quality internet for the development of financial services, e-commerce, e-learning and medicine.
The number of cities and districts with a population of more than 300,000 is planned to increase from 13 to 28. It is necessary to develop a law and concept on urbanisation to prevent unregulated urban expansion and loss of agricultural land.
To improve the business environment, it is important to define rules for public-private partnerships in various areas such as roads, water, education and medicine. A programme of projects should also be developed with the participation of industry and regional leaders.
Agriculture plays a key role in food supply and employment. Concrete steps are needed to increase yields, reduce production costs and innovate.
A stable energy supply is needed to sustain economic growth. It is planned to launch 122 large investment projects worth $50 billion. Energy demand is expected to increase by 1.5 times, so effective solutions need to be developed.
The head of state emphasised the need to create a legal framework and guarantees for investors after familiarising himself with the proposals on the above-mentioned areas.
