At the meeting on the issues of accelerating the implementation of investment projects, special attention was paid to the issue of implementation of regional projects through foreign direct investment.
Last year, more than 1 billion USD of investments were spent in the regions and 133 new enterprises were put into operation. However, due to shortcomings in organization of activities allowed by khokims and their deputies for investment, some facilities were not commissioned in the city of Tashkent, the Republic of Karakalpakstan, Samarkand, Andijan, Fergana, Namangan, Surkhandarya and Syrdarya regions.
The Head of the state gave instructions for development and monitoring the implementation of industry schedules on addressing the problems encountered in implementation of such projects.
This year, it is planned to implement 209 regional projects involving foreign direct investment and to attract 1.9 billion USD, or 2 times more funds than in the last year. At the meeting, heads of republican agencies responsible for implementation of these, as well as additional investment projects, formed with the assistance of Uzbekistan’s ambassadors abroad were identified for each region.
