As previously reported by Spot, Shavkat Mirziyoyev is holding a meeting to discuss the results of the work done this year and the main plans for 2025 regarding comprehensive support for entrepreneurship, as well as dialogue with leading entrepreneurs.
During the meeting, it was noted that large state-owned companies are undergoing transformation and entering the foreign financial market. The President emphasized the importance of adapting entrepreneurs to international standards and attracting independent resources from abroad, rather than relying solely on bank loans.
According to him, international financial organizations are ready to closely cooperate with companies from Uzbekistan in this area.
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry will also engage international consulting firms and open a center that will assist entrepreneurs in accessing foreign financial markets.
As a result, by 2025, no fewer than 100 local companies will undergo training on working with international financial markets.
Other topics discussed at the meeting included:
- banks will attract $6 billion from abroad for business loans;
- Uzbekistan's accession to the WTO is entering its final stage;
- the excise tax on mobile communications will be abolished, and benefits for IT Park and private schools will be extended;
- Uzbekistan's GDP is planned to increase to $120 billion next year;
- the mineral resources of Uzbekistan are estimated at $1 trillion;
- the airports of Bukhara and Namangan will be transferred to private management;
- there are plans to develop a project for an updated Customs Code.
