Uzbekistan’s national development strategy continues to guide the country’s long-term progress and reform agenda, playing a key role in shaping what is now known as “New Uzbekistan.” The strategy serves as the main roadmap for economic growth, governance reforms, and social development.
Adopted as a framework for medium and long-term planning, the Uzbekistan Strategy provides clear direction for public policy and institutional change. It focuses on stability, continuity, and predictable governance, helping state institutions plan beyond short-term goals. Since its launch, it has become the foundation for wide-ranging reforms across the country.
In recent years, Uzbekistan has made visible progress in many areas. The economy has moved towards modernisation, with efforts to improve investment, trade, and business conditions. Reforms in public administration have aimed to make government offices more efficient and responsive. At the same time, steps have been taken to strengthen the judicial system and improve access to justice.
The country has also expanded civic space and taken measures to protect human rights. These changes have increased openness and improved institutional capacity. Observers note that while reforms are ongoing, the results so far show clear movement towards a more transparent and accountable system.
A central idea behind the updated strategy is the principle that the state exists to serve its people. This vision, repeatedly highlighted by the President of Uzbekistan, places citizens at the centre of policymaking. The revised strategy focuses on practical outcomes that improve daily life, such as better public services, stronger legal protections, and inclusive economic growth.
As global and domestic challenges continue to evolve, Uzbekistan’s strategy aims to keep reforms on track. By focusing on people’s needs and long-term planning, the government hopes to build a stable, modern, and people-focused state for the future.
