According to the information from the Chilkazar district municipality, 35 markets and trade objects in the city of Tashkent will be put up for public sale, and their smaller sections will be offered to investors under new terms.
In accordance with the Presidential Decree on socio-economic development for 2026–2027, as the capital city of Tashkent, these 35 markets, trade complexes, and their branches are being put up for sale. Among the objects with the largest land areas on the list are the Sergeli car market with an area of 23.7 hectares, the Yangiobod specialized market with an area of 15.1 hectares, the Chilkazar goods trade complex with an area of 12.2 hectares, and the Urikzor trade complex with an area of 9.2 hectares.
In addition, the Navruz, Bek Tupi, Sergeli farmer, Parkent universal, Aviasozlar, Qora-qamish, Farhod, and Qo'yliq markets, as well as a number of other small branches, have also been included in the list. According to the document explanation, there is a possibility of selling the state share of the society managing the market associated with the object or its buildings.
The trades are carried out based on the order of 'Tashkent Invest Company'. This company prepares a master plan and a 'ready business' project for each object. The buyer is required to establish modern eco-markets, trade and service centers, leisure centers, and multi-story car parks at the market location.
The decision also establishes new mechanisms for industry. The 'Tashkent City Industrial Zones Directorate' and the 'Industrial Territory Management Directorate' are responsible for building multi-story industrial facilities. The plots are first offered to entrepreneurs operating in this area, but investors can also be attracted through electronic online auctions. Entrepreneurs have the opportunity to obtain a loan with a preferential period of up to two years for purchasing an area of up to 1,000 square meters, with an annual interest rate of 10 percent. This privilege applies to multi-story industrial buildings, not to the purchase of markets.
The acceptance of additional applications for mortgage subsidies has begun in Uzbekistan. The Ministry of Economy and Finance announced that the application period will start on July 27 at 15:00.
Applications are accepted based on previously submitted but unused subsidy notifications. To be evaluated, applicants must meet social criteria by scoring at least 30 points. Additionally, there are extra conditions: the applicant and their spouse must not reside in owned housing territory in Uzbekistan, and the family's average monthly income must comply with established social norms.
Furthermore, it is necessary to fulfill internal requirements of at least one commercial bank participating in the lending program. It should be noted that state funds do not cover the full cost of housing but are directed towards partially covering the initial down payment and interest payments on the mortgage.
An application can be submitted through the portal my.gov.uz, the MyGov mobile application, or at public service centers. On the my.gov.uz portal, this public service is provided free of charge. Employees of military formations submit the application directly to the Public Service Center.
Before submitting an application, you must allow the use of personal data for assessing credit history in banks participating in the OneID system. It is also checked whether temporary restrictions have been placed on the citizen's credit history. Otherwise, the bank will not be able to review the credit history, which may lead to the rejection of the application.
Receiving a positive notification of subsidy receipt does not automatically mean the allocation of a mortgage loan; the commercial bank conducts a separate assessment of the applicant's solvency and credit history.
A task was set to commission 340 cold storage warehouses with a total capacity of 87 thousand tons by the end of the current year.
The head of state emphasized the need to ensure price stability in the markets by collecting potatoes from farmers at prices they can receive and subsequently releasing them onto the market during periods of shortage.
Criticism was expressed regarding the fact that even after half a year, no cold storage warehouse for storing fruits and vegetables had been commissioned in the Karakalpakstan, Andijan, Jizzakh, Surkhandarya, and Tashkent regions.

A video selection meeting chaired by the President continues, dedicated to discussing the achievements for the first half of the current year and plans for the remaining period.
