In order to ensure the implementation of Presidential Decree No. PF–193 of the Republic of Uzbekistan, responsible employees of the Competition Policy and Consumer Rights Research Center conducted scientific and practical studies in Navoi Region.

According to the analysis, of the 5,134 types of goods produced in Uzbekistan, 1,495 types (29%) are also produced in Navoi Region. Of the 9,049 types of products imported into the country, 1,955 types enter the regional market. Meanwhile, 55% of the products produced in the region have a level of complexity above the global average.

Based on the methodology of Harvard University’s Economic Complexity Index, production opportunities for 1,242 types of products were assessed, with more than 300 types studied on a sample basis. As a result, it was found that for 30 types of products, the level of domestic market saturation with locally produced goods is below the established benchmark.

During the study, household-level survey processes were examined on-site in more than 50 mahallas of Khatyrchi District, and relevant recommendations were provided regarding the identified issues. In addition, training sessions dedicated to the implementation of Presidential Decree No. PF–193 were conducted for employees of the region’s territorial administration.
