In the first six months of 2026, 151 multi-apartment residential buildings and seven social facilities were commissioned in Tashkent.
Thanks to these works, residents of the capital gained access to over 11 thousand new apartments. Parallel to housing construction, new social institutions are operating: seven facilities were launched during the reporting period, including three kindergartens and four other elements of social infrastructure.
According to information from the city's hokimiyat, the total volume of construction and contracting work in Tashkent reached 61.2 trillion soums in the first half of 2026. This marked a 9.9% growth in the construction sector compared to the same period last year.
The active construction of residential and social facilities indicates the continued development of the capital as a modern megacity. In the context of intensive construction in Uzbekistan, the issue of criminal liability regarding the occupancy of unfinished buildings is also being raised.
A large-scale complex of measures aimed at improving and modernizing local infrastructure has been completed in the Sebzar mahalla of Uzbekistan's capital. As a result of these works, living conditions for local residents have improved.
During the project, specialists laid 1,240 thousand meters of irrigation systems. Additionally, 4,984 thousand meters of irrigation networks were repaired and re-laid. The facades of five apartment buildings were restored, and a plinth around the residential buildings with a total area of 2,220 thousand square meters was completed.
The renovation also covered road surfaces: 6 thousand square meters of internal roads and 2,175 thousand square meters of pedestrian paths were tidied up. Furthermore, 4,604 thousand meters of curbs were installed. An automotive parking lot with an area of 1,015 thousand square meters was organized for car owners and families with children, and four playgrounds were built.
Engineering systems also underwent serious modernization: communications were completely renovated in the interior of three buildings (work is still underway in the fourth building). Fifty-six electrical distribution boards in the entrances of five buildings were fully updated. Video surveillance systems were installed to enhance security in the entrances and on the adjacent territory. The final stage involved comprehensive landscaping and cleaning of green areas around the residential buildings.
According to the results of the first half of 2026, Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, demonstrated the highest rates of economic growth among all regions of the country. This success was achieved through attracting a record volume of foreign investment, significant export growth, and the creation of about ten thousand new jobs.
According to information provided by the city administration's press service, Tashkent's gross territorial product reached 226 trillion soums. This exceeds the figure for the same period last year by 13.3%, allowing the capital to surpass the projected figure of 11.2% and secure its leadership position in the republic.
The industrial sector also showed a positive trend: the volume of produced goods amounted to 109.6 trillion soums, which is 8% more than the previous year. However, the main driver of growth was investment. In the first six months, $4.3 billion in foreign investment and loans were brought into Tashkent's economy, which is one and a half times the volume of the previous year.
Thanks to the funds received, 249 investment projects were launched in the capital. New production facilities with a total value of $657.5 million were commissioned under these projects, contributing to the creation of 9.8 thousand jobs. Additionally, exports from Tashkent enterprises exceeded $1.5 billion over six months, which is 43% more than the previous year.
The localization program is actively promoted, within which 77 projects with a production volume of 4.9 trillion soums have been implemented, which is 48% higher than planned. Such initiatives help reduce imports, making products more affordable, and also strengthen cooperation between enterprises. The Hokimiyat considers the creation of jobs, the launch of modern production, the improvement of the population's living standards, and the development of the capital's industrial potential as key achievements.
It should be noted that World Bank analysts believe that due to reforms being carried out in logistics, tourism, and pharmaceuticals, Uzbekistan is capable of attracting between $5.2 and $6.4 billion in private investment and providing employment for over 300 thousand people.
