Shortcomings in development of exports were mentioned in the Message. The fact that no law that would serve the development of exports has worked so far has been criticized. The task of the Cabinet of Ministers is to develop a Concept for regulating foreign economic activity within a month.

In order to ensure timely delivery of our products to foreign and domestic markets and reduce their cost, we need to develop the transport and logistics sector, noted the President.

To do this, in the railway sector, it is necessary to distinguish between passenger and cargo transportation, operation and maintenance, that is, separately develop those areas where the private sector can be attracted.

According to international experts, by improving infrastructure, ensuring transparency of tariffs and opening new routes, transit potential of Uzbekistan can be increased from the current 7 million tons to 16 million tons. At one time, we closed borders of the whole of Uzbekistan for 20 years, and goods passing through us began to pass through other countries and pay them money for transit. Now 7 million tons of cargo passes through us. But our capabilities are enough for 16 million tons. Imagine how much money for transit will remain in Uzbekistan from so many tons. Who thinks about it? Ministry of Transport, First Deputy Prime Minister?! We are all asleep, says the Head of the state.
