Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- The Headquarters of the United Nations in New York as an official document of the 70th session of the UN General Assembly in six official languages, distributed information on the results of socio-economic development of Uzbekistan in 2015 and important priorities of economic program for 2016.
The President’s report indicated that, despite the ongoing global financial and economic crisis, stable and sustained high rates of economic growth and macroeconomic balance had been achieved as a result of the consistent and systematic implementation of the main activities and priorities of the economic programme in 2015, a comprehensively designed programme to ensure far-reaching structural reforms and the reliable protection of private property and small business interests, Jahon news agency reported.
It was emphasized that achievements and prospects for the country’s economic development, which were commended by authoritative financial and economic organizations and centres of learning, had reaffirmed the highly effective and successful development strategy chosen — one recognized worldwide as the “Uzbek model” of reform. The prestigious World Economic Forum had ranked Uzbekistan among the top five countries with the fastest growing economies in the world on the basis of its development in 2014-2015 and growth projections for 2016-2017.
A set of systemic measures are being implemented to fundamentally alter the ownership structure, to reduce the presence of the State in the economy and to change corporate governance principles and approaches. A modern governance structure has been introduced to all joint-stock companies.
A set of laws and regulations has been adopted to strengthen guarantees for and protect the legitimate rights of private owners and entrepreneurs, and to simplify and facilitate the establishment and implementation of entrepreneurial activities through one-stop centres that deliver public services based on the “one-stop shop” principle. Thanks to these measures, the share of GDP attributable to small business in Uzbekistan grew to 56.7 per cent, or by 1.8 times compared to the year 2000.
The attention of heads of State administrative bodies, economic boards and local executive authorities has been drawn to the need to harness all available reserves and opportunities in order to fully meet projections for economic and social development, investment and new facilities for the current year, to make continuous technological upgrades for manufacturing and to achieve the balanced and integrated development of regions and economic sectors.
A particular focus has been placed on ensuring the implementation of programme measures to achieve the goals and targets set for the current year, established in connection with the declaration of 2016 as the Year of the Healthy Mother and Child, including measures to further strengthen the system for family, maternal and child welfare; to establish and enhance the logistical and human resources capacities of perinatal and screening centres, as well as nursing services; to improve the level and quality of care for young mothers and children; and to create a healthy spiritual environment in the family.
