«A simple example: Terek-Tash cement plant and construction materials manufacturing enterprises will create a reliable basis for housing provision. Such revival in the construction sector is a positive signal for attracting investment. Agricultural processing enterprises, in addition to strengthening the country’s food security, will provide opportunities to increase exports,» the head of state said.
«We should sharply reduce electricity imports, having significant hydropower potential. We must properly use the water resources given by nature and increase electricity production to provide for our people. We hope that electricity exports will be added to our export list in the coming years,» the President said.
He noted that the average growth of the gross domestic product over the past three years has not fallen below 7 percent. It reached 8.7 percent from January to July 2024, and the GDP amounted to 677 billion soms. The country’s budget has also demonstrated significant growth, doubling over the past three years.

To ensure the country’s sustainable development in the long term, an ambitious goal is set — to reach a GDP of $30 billion by 2030 (at the current dollar exchange rate — about 2,550 trillion soms).
