The government will allocate $2 million to promote "Made in Uzbekistan" textile products on marketplaces and to implement measures supporting training in marketplace operations.
On January 16, 2025, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan signed Decree No. UP-6 "On Additional Measures for the Development of the Processing Chain in the Textile and Garment-Knitting Industry."
According to the decree, the export of industry products is planned to reach $7 billion by 2027, with $500 million directed to the U.S. and European markets. The share of finished garment and knitwear products should account for 70% of total exports.
The following key support mechanisms have been defined:
- Funds from the export of yarn and fabric will be fully transferred to the Industry Support Fund.
- Starting in 2026, at least 80% of these funds (in 2025 - $15 million), along with an additional $15 million allocated for equipment purchase subsidies, will be transferred to commercial banks to provide loans for purchasing equipment for fabric, textile, and finished garment production.
- Loans in foreign currency will be issued for seven years to finance advance payments of 15% of equipment costs at an annual interest rate of 4%.
- Expenses related to obtaining international certifications will be covered.
- $2 million will be allocated to the "Made in Uzbekistan" program for promoting, placing, and advertising products on marketplaces. Measures will also be taken to support the training of industry company employees on working with marketplaces.
- A Special Textile Industrial Zone will be established in the Namangan region, where special legal, tax, customs, and currency regimes will be applied.
