On February 4, 2026, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan adopted Decree No. PF-17 “On Priority Measures for the Development of Local Production and Industrial Cooperation under a New System.”
Under this Presidential Decree, starting from July 1, 2026, new instruments will be applied: a list of competitive products recommended for production in the country, aimed at increasing value chains contributing to the national economy, will be gradually formed and published by sector based on analysis of the national and regional markets. In accordance with the decree, the Competition Committee has been tasked with studying market saturation levels. To date, the Competition Policy and Consumer Rights Research Center under the Competition Committee has carried out more than 150 analytical studies of goods and financial markets, as well as economic sectors, using advanced econometric and innovative approaches. As a result, 110 types of product markets recommended for production in the country have been identified, and a list of sectors with entrepreneurial potential—based on product market saturation—has been published. Analytical data is being shared with the public in the form of infographics via the Committee’s social media and the Center’s websites, providing investors and entrepreneurs with transparent and reliable open-source information about products recommended for production. Econometric analyses: In socially significant food product markets, stages from production to final consumer are analyzed to ensure price stability. Short-term price forecasts are made using econometric tools. Analytical data and recommendations for eggs, milk, carrots, onions, potatoes, beef, and poultry are regularly submitted by the Committee to the Cabinet of Ministers and relevant ministries and agencies. Indices: Business activity and regional competitiveness indices have been developed and implemented to serve as “barometers” of competition and business environment in the national economy. In developing the Business Activity Index (BAI), methodologies such as the U.S. Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) were used as a basis. According to the internationally recognized PMI, a BAI above 50 points indicates sustainable growth and increasing economic activity. The Regional Competitiveness Index was developed and calculated based on the experience of the USA, EU, and other developed countries. The index systematically analyzes key socio-economic issues, including investment attraction, labor resources and infrastructure development, social stability, and the development of the competitive environment across 14 administrative-territorial units of the country. The Competition Policy and Consumer Rights Research Center under the Competition Committee continues to conduct systematic analyses of goods and financial markets and economic sectors using advanced econometric and innovative approaches.

A scientific and practical roundtable discussion was held at The Competition Policy and Consumer Rights Research Center under the Competition Committee with the participation of master's students from Tashkent State University of Economics. During the meeting, participants were provided with detailed information on the evolution of modern competition theory, market structures, M. Porter's concept of competitive advantage formation, monopolistic and oligopolistic competition models, and the impact of monopsony conditions on the economy. The discussion also covered perspectives on the development of the competitive environment in our country, the improvement of the consumer rights protection system, the content and essence of the new edition of the Law "On Competition", changes in market relations in the context of digital platforms, and modern antimonopoly mechanisms. The roundtable was held in an open and interactive format, enabling students to consolidate their theoretical knowledge through practical examples. This meeting contributed to expanding the knowledge and skills of young specialists in the field of competition policy, developing scientific cooperation, and training qualified personnel in the future. |Telegram |facebook|instagram|
The results of the Business Activity Index for the fourth quarter of 2025 and expectations for the first quarter of 2026 have been assessed.
The Competition Policy and Consumer Rights Research Center under the Competition Committee assessed the results of the Business Activity Index for the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as expectations for the first quarter of 2026, reflecting the business environment and sentiments of business entities. More than 350 large enterprises operating in manufacturing and service sectors across the country participated in the BAI survey via the Committee’s unified Fair Tech information system. According to the survey results, the cumulative BAI indicator in the 4th quarter of 2025 increased by 0.9 points compared to the 3rd quarter and amounted to 57.3 points. Also, the forecast BAI indicators for the 1st quarter of 2026 are expected to be 54.9 points. According to the internationally recognized PMI benchmark, a value above 50 points indicates stable economic growth and increasing business activity. Regional analysis shows the highest results in Tashkent city (61) and Namangan region (60), while relatively lower indicators were recorded in Kashkadarya (50.8), Samarkand (51), and Navoi (53) regions. Overall, the results demonstrate that the business environment in the country remains stable, and large business entities maintain positive expectations regarding future economic activity.
