Jizzakh region has become the territory with the fastest-growing industry in the republic. According to statistics presented at the session, investment projects worth $6.5 billion have been implemented over the past 8 years, with 45% of this share attributable to the industrial sector.

Thanks to high-income jobs in the industrial and service sectors, 310,000 people are currently employed, which was highlighted at the session as an important result related to the country’s economic development and population welfare. It was noted that agriculture has been diversified, new orchards and vineyards have been established, and fruit and vegetable plantations have been organized in desert areas, emphasizing the region’s sustainable development.
