Uzbekistan invests in Namangan region services sector infrastructure

The Ministry of Economy and Finance of Uzbekistan reported that the services sector in the Namangan Region reached a volume of 49.6 trillion soums between January and September 2026. This figure represents a 15% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.

The government allocated 232.7 billion soums from the republican budget to develop the region's services sector.

These funds supported the creation of over 385 new businesses and the expansion of 295 existing enterprises, resulting in more than 1,950 new jobs. The initiative also launched infrastructure projects including waterfronts, parks, and tourism facilities. One major project transformed a 2-kilometre section of Lutfiy, U. Nosir, and Bank streets into a modern retail and services area. This renovation included 8 kilometres of pedestrian pathways, 400 streetlights, and new power lines.

Since the redevelopment, 30 new businesses opened in this area, and daily visitor numbers rose from 2,500 to 4,600. The region plans to continue these developments through the end of 2026.
