On Wednesday August 20, an open dialogue between President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and entrepreneurs began in Tashkent. The president underlined that over the past eight years Uzbekistan has attracted $230 bn in investment, of which more than $120 bn came from abroad.
«At first glance these figures, which once seemed impossible even to imagine, let alone calculate, appeared out of reach. Yet we achieved them,» Mirziyoyev remarked.
Despite the global economy facing turbulence from conflicts and divisions, Uzbekistan’s economy expanded by 7.2% in the first half of this year.
Mirziyoyev also stressed that New Tashkent is set to become a hub for opportunities, ideas, markets and investment.
He emphasised that the city’s modern infrastructure, designed entirely on green technologies, will support new projects and enterprises.
«Know that the gates of New Tashkent are always open to all entrepreneurs wishing to do business,» he said.
Since the first open dialogue in 2021 around 1,000 business initiatives have been incorporated into national legislation.
