“The coming year, 2026, will be a year of fundamental change in the development of public administration, the judicial and legal systems, the economy, education, science, medicine, culture, sports, the environment—all areas without exception.”

“Improving mahalla infrastructure will be the first priority of national policies.”

"The country's well-being begins, first and foremost, with the mahalla. It is by the condition of roads, water, electricity, and transportation in the mahalla, and by the conditions in kindergartens, schools, and family clinics that people evaluate our reforms."

“Starting next year, a comprehensive approach to mahalla development will be implemented.”

“In each province, two to three districts will be selected to create a system that will simultaneously address all the problems in each mahalla. Business infrastructure will also be developed in these districts. 8.5 trillion soums will be allocated from all sources to achieve these goals.”

“MPs will be handed 500 billion soums to address problems in their districts. An additional 330 million soums is also earmarked for each deputies' initiative to create green spaces and parks.”

“Starting January 1, 2026, 5% of value-added tax revenues in Tashkent and 20% in other provinces will be retained locally, with half of these funds going to district budgets.”

“Furthermore, 50% of revenues exceeding the forecast, as well as revenues from arable land leases and markets, will be transferred entirely to district budgets.

“Provincial governors and district mayors will be allowed to reduce inefficient and duplicate staff positions and use the savings to address issues raised by the public.”

“This will create an additional 5 trillion soums in district budgets, which will be used to improve mahalla infrastructure.”

“Next year, for the first time, 20 trillion soums will be allocated directly to the provinces for the development of mahalla infrastructure.”

"Every soum of these funds should create added value for households. Therefore, these funds will be allocated not to a single district as a whole, but to specific projects in mahallas that create jobs and generate income for households. This will become a project-based approach to the efficient use of budget funds."

“Clear criteria will be established to prevent chaotic urban expansion, thus limiting the unjustified reduction of cultivated land. For the first time, 45 agglomeration zones will be defined in the country.”

“Sustainable City platform will be launched next year, and a living comfort index will be established. This index will be used to identify problems specific to each mahalla and find appropriate solutions.”

"Our main goal is to ensure that our people have a stable income. People with money strive to dress and eat well, receive a quality education and qualified medical care, enjoy meaningful recreation—in short, to live a prosperous life."

“Business support policies will continue: in 2026, key tax rates will remain unchanged, and over 10 trillion soums will be allocated for business infrastructure projects.”
