As reported earlier the Senate at its 18th plenary session reviewed the National Report on Combating Corruption, submitted by the Anti-Corruption Agency.

According to the Senate's press service, a range of measures were carried out in 2025 to promote openness and transparency in public administration, digitize government services, prevent corruption and strengthen public oversight.

Officials examined, on the ground, the root causes of corruption and bureaucratic red tape in the healthcare, education, employment, banking and cadastral sectors nationwide. As a result, targeted "road maps" were approved for districts and cities identified as having a high risk of corruption.

Seven legal and regulatory documents aimed at improving the anti-corruption system were also adopted, and internal compliance structures at state agencies and organizations were reorganized to operate independently.

At the same time, the national report acknowledged that problems persist. In 2025, 7,517 people were prosecuted for corruption-related crimes, with damage to state interests exceeding 2.9 trillion soums.

The highest number of corruption-related offenses were recorded in preschool and school education, healthcare, local government bodies and commercial banks.

The report also found corruption-related risk factors in one out of every four draft legal and regulatory documents, along with violations worth 12.6 trillion soums in public procurement.

Senators stressed the need to improve the effectiveness of corruption prevention, strengthen legal compliance in public procurement, reinforce the compliance system, and tighten oversight of efforts to recover damages caused to the state by corruption.

The session concluded with the Senate adopting a resolution.
