"This year, it is planned to allocate 140 trillion soums for the development of small and medium-sized businesses. However, the efficiency of loans varies significantly across regions," said Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
For example, in the city of Shirin, 20 jobs are created per 1 billion soums of credit, while in Bustonliq, Pskent, and Karmanа districts, this figure is only 3. It was noted that 36,000 new jobs could be created by financing efficient projects.
Additionally, it was ordered to launch an "AI-consultant" platform in banks that evaluates business projects and analyzes their risks and market demand. It will assist banks in making credit decisions.
