The role of international cooperation in the socio-economic development of regions
In Uzbekistan, improving the investment climate and creating reliable, stable conditions for foreign investors have been elevated to state policy.
The Presidential Resolution “On measures to ensure the implementation of agreements reached within the framework of the regular meeting of the Foreign Investors Council”, dated July 18, 2025, became a logical continuation of these efforts. Within the framework of the document, special attention is given to fulfilling the agreements reached and implementing each project within the established timeframes.
As of February 1, 18,513 enterprises with foreign investment participation were operating in the country, compared to 17,900 in December of last year. The opening of 600 enterprises in a short period indicates growing partner confidence in the country’s investment climate.
The majority of enterprises with foreign capital account for China, Russia, Türkiye, Kazakhstan, and South Korea. Consistent cooperation has been established with these countries in the areas of industrial cooperation, technology exchange, and expansion of export destinations.
Jizzakh region is one of the active participants in this process. A total of 260 enterprises with foreign investment participation operate there. This indicator clearly demonstrates the steady development of international cooperation in the region’s economy.
In recent years, the activities of industrial zones in Jizzakh region have expanded significantly, and engineering and utility infrastructure have been improved. The number of joint enterprises in the production of building materials, agricultural processing, textiles, and pharmaceuticals has increased. Each new project means jobs, modern technologies, and new markets.
The growth in the number of enterprises with foreign capital contributes to increased employment, the introduction of advanced technologies, stronger economic activity in districts, and greater investment attractiveness.
Within the framework of implementing the Presidential Resolution, measures are being consistently carried out to accelerate the implementation of investment projects, reduce administrative barriers, and strengthen open dialogue with investors. This will help enhance the efficiency of promising projects being implemented in Jizzakh region and strengthen the region’s industrial potential.
Jizzakh region is becoming an area with growing investment appeal. The main achievement behind these indicators is the bold steps toward an even more decent and prosperous life.
