Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Construction is one of the drivers of growth in the national economy. There has been a boom in the country in recent years. The expansion of construction is associated with factors such as population growth, an increase in the welfare and purchasing power of citizens.

The practice of foreign countries, in particular China, South Korea and other developing countries, shows that the growth of construction leads to a multiplier effect for the entire economy, ensuring the development of both other industries and the social sphere.
Taking into account these features, on 3 March, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan announced a large-scale housing construction program in all regions of the country with a total funding of US$1.1 billion, which will ultimately give an additional impetus to economic development in the post-pandemic period.

1. The real rate of growth of production in industry will additionally increase by + 2.3%;
2. Service sector + 3.9%;
3.Retail turnover + 1.1%;
4. Agriculture by + 0.1%.
An additional increase in industrial production is associated with an increase in output in such industries as the mining industry, the production of building materials, finished metal products, rubber and plastic products, the metallurgical industry, the production of electrical equipment, etc.
In the service sector, an increase is also expected in the provision of rental, rental and leasing services, activities in the field of administrative, economic and other support services, employment, repair and installation of machinery and equipment, etc.
