First Deputy Minister of Investments and Foreign Trade of Uzbekistan Aziz Voitov noted that in recent years, to improve the investment environment in the country, significant work has been carried out to strengthen the legal framework, protect the interests of investors, and build a New Uzbekistan.

The issue of improving the procedure for obtaining permission to start construction on privatized facilities was considered at the parallel sectional meeting “Privatization, provision of buildings, protection of the inviolability of private property”.

The work on the sale of vacant buildings through the “E-Auksion” system, plans, measures to ensure the protection of private property and its inviolability within the framework of international agreements were analyzed during the discussion.

In preparation for the dialogue, more than 15 thousand questions, proposals, and initiatives were received from business entities, most of which were resolved positively.
