The addresses followed a video conference chaired by Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on 11 September 2026 on the development of Tashkent’s districts, increasing investment and employment, and creating modern infrastructure in mahallas.

According to him, enterprises and organizations in the district need more than 4,000 workers with secondary specialized education.
The governor pledged to provide jobs for more than 6,000 unemployed people and stable incomes for 3,000 families included in the Social Register. To this end, at least 50% of the 78,000 square metres of buildings belonging to government institutions in the district will be leased to entrepreneurs on a long-term basis, while 52 state-owned facilities with a total value of 100 billion soums will be put up for open auction.

According to the governor, work in Bektemir District is continuing to ensure employment, create new jobs, support entrepreneurial initiatives and ensure the timely and targeted consideration of citizens’ appeals.
The governor called on residents and entrepreneurs to make greater use of existing opportunities, put forward new ideas and initiatives and implement promising projects, stressing that every new project creates a new opportunity and every new job is an important factor in family welfare.
Bektemir District Governor Nurilla Abdurakhmanov acknowledged that coverage of school and preschool education in the district remains low, while growth in economic indicators in industry and services is insufficient.
According to him, centralized water supply is unavailable in the Zabardast mahalla and a quarter of the Ik-Ota mahalla, while street lighting has not been installed on a number of streets in the Musaffo, Sokhil, Zabardast and Ik-Ota mahallas.

A total of 14 km of pedestrian paths will be built on these streets, 120 surveillance cameras and 500 streetlights will be installed, 23,000 square metres of green areas will be landscaped with 140 benches, and two green gardens and an artificial lake will be created.
Construction and landscaping work will also be carried out in the Zilola, Iqbol, Mirishkor and Abay mahallas. Sports and recreation areas and centres for elderly people will be established in the Musaffo and Nurli Yo‘l mahallas. The Nurafshon and Abay mahallas will be connected to the sewage network, while mahalla committee buildings will be built in the Nurli Yo‘l and Zabardast mahallas. A nursery for shrub seedlings will be created on an 8-hectare site in the Zabardast and Gulbog mahallas. Street lighting will be installed in the Musaffo, Sokhil, Zabardast and Ik-Ota mahallas. Fifteen transformers will be installed to eliminate power supply disruptions, while an underground pedestrian crossing will be built along the Akhangaran Highway within the Mirishkor mahalla.
In the economy, the governor pledged to bring industrial output to 25.6 trillion soums by the end of the year, representing growth of 107.1%, and services to 11.1 trillion soums, or 118.5% growth, while attracting a total of US$500 million in investment to the district. In the 353.9-hectare industrial zone in the Oltintopgan, Mirishkor and Gulbog mahallas, 1,600 jobs are planned through investment projects implemented jointly with 603 entrepreneurs.
By the end of the year, 140 new business entities are planned to be launched jointly with commercial banks, creating 1,200 jobs.

Sergeli District
Sergeli District Governor Davron Ismatov said preschool education coverage in the district stands at 75%, while the volume of services has increased by only 16.3% since the beginning of the year.
According to him, the district has only three technical colleges despite a need for more than 1,200 specialists with secondary specialized education. He also noted that despite the district’s favourable logistical location between the capital and regional centres, it lacks large logistics centres.
The governor said that current measures will raise the incomes of 5,562 residents, employ 3,971 unemployed people, train 273 people in professions, formalize 1,817 workers from the informal sector as self-employed and implement 1,123 family entrepreneurship projects.
Ismatov plans to make the district free of unemployment and poverty by 1 December this year, using, he said, the experience of Almazar District.
By the end of 2026, targeted development programmes are planned in all 46 mahallas of the district, providing employment for 36,200 residents and increasing the number of business entities to 7,774, including 815 new ones.
This year, 16 major projects are planned to be launched, creating more than 2,500 jobs. Three round-the-clock retail and service streets — Yangi Sergeli, Mehrigiyo and Shokirarik — will also be established, with 360 businesses and more than 1,000 new jobs. Seven more streets will be developed in the same way in 2027, while two modern shopping and entertainment centres will appear along the Tashkent Ring Road and Yangi Sergeli Street. Landscaping of 11 mahallas will be completed under the Obod Mahalla programme.

Uchtepa District
Uchtepa District Governor Bunyod Mamajanov said that US$320 million in foreign direct investment entered the district’s economy during the first eight months of this year, while exports reached US$482.8 million.
According to the governor, Uchtepa has a population of more than 304,000 and 98,000 families, with each figure representing the lives, dreams and hopes of specific people.
He stressed that he views attracting investment not only as a tool for improving economic indicators but also as a key factor in improving people’s lives, since every new enterprise means new jobs, new sources of income and an opportunity for people to earn a decent living through their own work.
According to Mamajanov, work to attract new investment projects, expand the capacity of existing enterprises, support local entrepreneurs and increase the district’s export potential will continue on a systematic basis.
By the end of 2026, the governor pledged to attract US$553.1 million in foreign investment and increase exports to US$630 million.
According to him, particular attention will be paid to reducing poverty, increasing family incomes and strengthening economic activity, primarily not through one-time material assistance to low-income families but by creating opportunities for them to earn a stable income.
To this end, the district will strengthen systematic work to train unemployed citizens in professions in demand, prepare specialists in the most relevant fields, involve them in entrepreneurship and provide decent employment, with priority given to young people and women.
Chilanzar District
Chilanzar District Governor Saidqahhor Kholkhujaev said the district has 961 low-income families and acknowledged that despite having 13 universities, 221 medical facilities and a 300-hectare industrial zone, the district has not shown sufficient initiative in attracting foreign investment and modern technologies.
According to him, despite high demand for well-paid jobs in modern services, IT and manufacturing, the scale of training for young people and women in in-demand professions remains insufficient. The load on engineering, utility and energy networks also creates difficulties for business development and the launch of new capacity. The governor noted that only three schools in the district operate at a load exceeding two shifts, preschool education coverage stands at 85%, and the volume of services has increased by only 121% since the beginning of the year, which, in his assessment, does not correspond to the district’s potential.
As part of poverty reduction measures, the district plans this year to increase the incomes of 961 low-income families, employ 345 unemployed people from these families, involve 302 people in self-employment and implement 85 family entrepreneurship projects. The district plans to attract US$1 billion in foreign investment this year and US$1.2 billion next year, creating 18,000–20,000 high-paying permanent jobs. A five-storey modern industrial complex and a 90,000-square-metre trade monomarket will be built on a 2.5-hectare site in the Chilanzar Industrial Zone, creating 3,000 jobs. Entrepreneurs will be offered industrial mortgages, loans and leasing on preferential terms. Together with 10 district banks, 200 new entrepreneurs will be launched and 1,000 jobs created by converting the ground floors of apartment buildings to non-residential use. Entrepreneurs will receive preferential unsecured loans of up to 200 million soums for this purpose.
A new 16-storey administrative building will be constructed on the site of the district administration building. It will house 31 district organizations and around 300 employees serving the population in one location. Existing administrative buildings will be sold at auction for use as business facilities. By the end of the year, industrial output is planned to reach 19.8 trillion soums, up 110.2%, services 51.4 trillion soums, up 123%, and construction 5.9 trillion soums, up 112.6%. The governor also said that next year at least 10,000 new jobs will be created for residents of other regions of the republic by using the district’s internal potential, making the district an employment “donor”.
In 2026–2027, the district will create 13 gastronomic and tourism streets with a total length of 17 km, including KHAI, Zargarlik, Chupanata, Mukimi, 2nd Kattatol, Arnasay, Chilanzar, Afrosiyob, Islam Karimov, Beshyogoch, Furkat, Gafurov and Bunyodkor streets. Work on KHAI, Chupanata and Bunyodkor streets will begin this year, while work on Al-Khwarizmi and Kattatol streets will be completed.
Under the Obod Mahalla programme, 20 mahallas will be landscaped as part of a four-year programme worth 1 trillion soums. By the end of 2026, work will be carried out in the Diyor, Nafosat and Fidokor mahallas, with another six mahallas covered in 2027. A 1.8-km section of the Bozsu Canal has been landscaped with an eco-walking area and a 5-km pedestrian path. Work is under way on 3.5 km of the Borichar Canal, while work on a 1.8-km section of the Anhor Canal in the Nakkoshlik mahalla will begin this year. The governor noted that 10 of the district’s 55 mahallas are classified as “green”, with no registered crimes, compared with five a year earlier, while 45 are classified as “yellow” and there are no “red” mahallas left. In autumn, 50,000 ornamental and fruit seedlings and shrubs will be planted in the district under the Yashil Makon programme.
In education and social infrastructure, construction will begin this year using local budget funds on a 1,500-seat school on the grounds of School No. 126, a 360-place preschool on the grounds of School No. 232 and a modern sports complex at the Republican Olympic Reserve School. Each year, one similarly outdated preschool building will be replaced with a new one, while another eight will undergo current and capital repairs.
A modern creative cluster will be established at the College of Personnel Management and Occupational Safety, subordinate to the Ministry of Employment and Poverty Reduction, to train more than 10,000 young people annually in more than 50 modern professions. A new building will be constructed for Family Polyclinic No. 38, Polyclinic No. 33 will undergo major repairs and Polyclinic No. 37 will undergo routine repairs.
For 2027, the governor guaranteed the implementation of 85 new projects in the economy, education, healthcare and environmental sectors worth 3.5 trillion soums.

Shaykhantahur District Governor Bobir Abubakirov acknowledged that preschool education coverage in the district stands at 70%, the volume of services has increased by 120% since the beginning of the year and industrial output by 108.1%, which, he said, does not correspond to the district’s potential.
