Starting in 2027, traditional district treasury and Pension Fund departments in Uzbekistan will be abolished. They will be replaced by small offices staffed by only one or three specialists responsible for resolving all pension-related issues.
This transition to a more compact model of public service is enshrined in a relevant Cabinet of Ministers resolution. According to this document, such offices will be established in every city and district, where employees will handle pension assignments, recalculations due to changes in circumstances, and payment organization.
Testing the new system
By the end of 2026, the new system will be tested in several cities in the Andijan, Samarkand, and Syrdarya regions. In these pilot regions, the functions of assigning and distributing pensions will be transferred to the territorial units of the Pension Fund. Commissions consisting of three specialists will make decisions on each specific situation in the test areas.
Following the successful completion of the pilot project, scheduled for the end of 2026, the new system is planned for full-scale implementation nationwide from January 1, 2027.
Furthermore, within the Pension Fund, the launch of a project office is planned, which will attract international consultants. The main goal of this office is to promote the development of funded pension programs and strengthen the financial stability of the entire pension system.
