Uzbekistan advances its IT investment-climate dialogue

Verified facts

• The Ministry of Digital Technologies reported that its minister met on 7 September 2026 with external legal and strategic-communications advisers and representatives of the Office of the Advisor to the President to discuss measures to improve the IT investment climate. The report describes policy discussion, not a binding rule, licence, investor approval, grant, company registration, tax or customs decision.
• The Ministry said the parties discussed a more unified and transparent approach to engagement with investors, coordination among institutions, and measures that could facilitate entry for small and medium-sized foreign companies. They agreed to continue cooperation and develop practical proposals. A contemplated measure or proposal does not establish an available programme, eligibility, deadline, cost, service level, market access or commercial outcome.
• The Ministry’s public activity page records an August 2026 constitutional law concerning an International Center for Digital Technologies and refers to broader digital-technology policy measures. A high-level legal or policy context does not classify a company’s activity, establish applicability of any special regime, confer a permit or settle licensing, data, employment, tax, customs, banking, contract or enforcement questions.
• World Bank and EBRD Uzbekistan material provides independent context on the country’s economic transformation, private-sector development and financial-system conditions. This external context does not validate a specific investor route, local partner, customer, data transfer, regulatory status, funding, price, payment or transaction.
