Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted that the capabilities of the Tashkent region are not fully used, and instructed to increase the volume of industrial production in the region by 40% by the end of the year.
On August 10, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting on the development of industry in the Tashkent region, the press service of the head of state said.
In the first half of the year, the region produced goods worth almost 7.7 trillion soums, an increase of 4.6%. But this is below the national average. Taking this into account, the goal was determined to produce goods for 18 trillion soums by the end of the year and achieve an annual growth of 8.5%.
The main condition for achieving this indicator is the development of the region’s industry through new projects, support for low-power or idle enterprises, and the effective use of empty buildings. Transport and logistics, services, agriculture and construction are also priority areas.
