If the hokims do not think of returning these loans, where will the family business come from?

The meeting discussed the repayment of earlier loans. "If the hokims don't think about returning these funds, then where will the family business come from? After all, if these funds are returned, they will be given to the district itself!", the President said. Officials have been instructed to follow this issue closely.

Also, the Minister of Employment and Poverty Reduction has been instructed to develop a programme to channel 1.5 trillion UZS allocated from the budget to the new ministry to reduce poverty in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

The Deputy Prime Minister and the Ministry of Employment and Poverty Reduction have been instructed to work with provincial khokims to form a package of entrepreneurial projects in onerous neighbourhoods under a $135 million credit line to provide employment to at least 50,000 residents in these neighbourhoods.
