This year, the authorities of Uzbekistan plan to develop and adopt several strategically important documents that will bring significant changes in the areas of road infrastructure, pedestrian safety, and the installation of gas meters. These initiatives are aimed at modernizing key sectors that affect both citizens and businesses.
According to the Agency for Strategic Reforms, a draft law “On Toll Roads” has already been developed and submitted to the government for consideration. This document will create a legal framework for an alternative road network, which will help attract investment in road infrastructure. A key part of the project is the development of public-private partnerships, which will increase road capacity and improve the quality of services provided.
The adoption of this law promises not only to reduce the burden on the state budget but also to create new jobs. It will also help speed up vehicle traffic and increase the capacity of public roads, marking a significant step forward in the development of the country’s transport infrastructure.
Additionally, a presidential decree aimed at developing safe and comfortable roads for pedestrians, as well as infrastructure for paid parking in cities, is currently being reviewed by ministries and agencies. This document promises to improve conditions for pedestrian movement, which is especially relevant in the context of growing urbanization.
Another important step forward is the government resolution project on the installation of meters at all stages—from natural gas extraction to its delivery to consumers. This project is aimed at increasing transparency and efficiency in the use of natural resources. The authorities are also actively working to attract investors for the modernization of power distribution networks in Samarkand based on public-private partnerships.
All these initiatives demonstrate the authorities’ serious intentions to modernize infrastructure and create comfortable conditions for both citizens and businesses. In the near future, these documents are expected to be actively discussed and adopted, marking an important step in the development of Uzbekistan.
