Uzbekistan studied Germany's experience in property management.
The State Assets Management Agency of Uzbekistan studied the German experience of centralized management and privatization of real estate.
On August 27, the State Assets Management Agency of Uzbekistan (SAMA) held an online seminar to explore German experience in state property management. Representatives of the German Federal Institute of Real Estate (BImA), the German Federal Ministry of Finance, the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ), and Indecon Consulting participated in the event.
The seminar focused on centralized management of state property in Germany and methods for improving the efficient use of state assets. SAMA Director Sokhibjon Murodov emphasized that Germany's long-standing experience, particularly BImA's institutional model and mechanisms for assessing, selling, and leasing state property, is of great interest to Uzbekistan in the context of improving the state property management system.
BImA representatives Jörg Musial and Robert Erfen shared practical German approaches to federal property management, including the efficient use of assets and their maintenance. Mechanisms for centralized management of assets and the maintenance of digital registries of state assets were also discussed. Particular attention was paid to the integration of unused or underutilized state property into economic circulation.
Christina Klas, Head of Division at the German Federal Ministry of Finance, praised the reforms being implemented in Uzbekistan in the areas of state asset management and privatization, noting the consistent implementation of modern property management mechanisms and the expanding role of the private sector.
During the seminar, the parties discussed the further development of cooperation between Uzbekistan and Germany in this area. The exchange of experience in state property management is planned to be conducted in three stages. The first stage includes online training seminars for AUGA specialists. During the second stage, German experts will visit Uzbekistan to identify promising areas of cooperation. The third stage involves a practical visit by the Agency's delegation to Germany to study BImA's activities and existing mechanisms for state property management.
Following the seminar, the participants discussed prospects for further exchange of experience and the implementation of modern approaches to the state asset management system in Uzbekistan.
