This year, an additional 2 trillion soums in preferential resources were allocated for family entrepreneurship projects. The loan rate for “difficult” neighborhoods was reduced from 17.5% to 12%.

Now, neighborhood bankers will be able to use these resources for the projects they personally find. The task was set to implement this system into practice from August 1.

KPIs will be assigned to neighborhood bankers for increasing business activity, entrepreneurship, job creation, and population income. Together with neighborhood chairmen, district and city mayors will formulate a clear order for every neighborhood banker until the end of the year.

This year, state banks have put forward the initiative to specialize 100 neighborhoods each. Last year, in cooperation with 9 state banks, “Agrostar” companies were created in neighborhoods to develop the agro-industrial sector.

Now, banks will not be limited to specializing neighborhoods only, and together with “Agrostar”s, they will create a “production – processing – storage – packaging – sales” chain. A program was made to start work in 1,000 neighborhoods within a month.
