Opportunities for entrepreneurs to use preferential loans to create jobs will be expanded
A new mechanism for supporting family and youth entrepreneurship is being introduced: district and city headquarters will be able to direct funds towards preferential lending and covering a portion of interest on loans. Entrepreneurs who involve families from the social register in cooperation projects will be provided with unsecured loans of up to 5 billion soums.
Opportunities for entrepreneurs to use preferential loans in creating jobs will be expanded
The Decree of the President No. UP-193 dated 11.09.2026 "On measures to increase population incomes through the creation of sustainable jobs and rapid development of small business" was adopted.
According to the document, district and city headquarters established to create sustainable jobs and increase population incomes will make decisions on the distribution of preferential loans within the framework of family and youth entrepreneurship programs.
The headquarters will be able to manage financial resources exceeding 3.2 trillion soums, including: 1.37 trillion soums from funds allocated to the family entrepreneurship program, 450 billion soums for youth business, as well as 240 billion soums from the Poverty Alleviation Fund and 100 billion soums from the Employment Promotion Fund.
Based on the decision of the headquarters, leading entrepreneurs who involve families from the Social Register in cooperation projects will be able to receive unsecured loans in the amount of 50 million soums for each household. In this case, the maximum loan amount will be 5 billion soums.
Starting from October 1, the headquarters will also make decisions on compensating a part of the interest on bank loans granted to self-employed citizens, small and medium enterprises. The Entrepreneurship Development Company will be responsible for paying the subsidies.
When making decisions, local conditions, development priorities, and the effectiveness of projects will be taken as the main criteria. It is prohibited to impose additional requirements on credit history, sustainability rating, or enterprise category.
The social support mechanism will also change — district and city headquarters will have the opportunity to manage the funds (760 billion soums) of the "Saxovat va ko'mak" (Generosity and Support), "Ayollar daftari" (Women's Notebook), and "Yoshlar daftari" (Youth Notebook) funds, through which social assistance and services are provided.
Starting from January 1, 2027, people's need for social assistance and services, as well as decisions on inclusion in the Social Register, will be determined based on an assessment system. In addition to the financial situation, chronic illnesses of family members, disability, labor migration, number of children, and other factors will also be taken into account.
The socio-economic situation of families will be assessed through a points system. Based on the results, families will be assigned relevant categories and will have access to social support measures and services.
At the same time, the State Social Insurance Fund will start paying child care benefits to women employed under employment contracts from the end of pregnancy and childbirth leave until the child reaches one year of age.
