not evaluated due to lack
of data
As the table data show, Uzbekistan is not rated in international ratings due to the lack of data on such indices
as network readiness and Internet development. This means stagnation in the development of telecommunications
infrastructure and mechanisms for providing high-quality statistical information in this area in open access. The
spread of the Internet among the population is accompanied by an increase in the intensity of its use: the number of
Internet users in Uzbekistan has exceeded 27 million, of which more than 25 million are mobile Internet users. (2022)
One of the main conditions for the implementation of large-scale public investments in the introduction of
digital technologies is the assessment of the contribution of relevant measures to economic growth in terms of the
cost-benefit ratio. Regardless of the scenario of economic development, guarantees of sufficient return on such
investments are required to justify the feasibility of their implementation. In accordance with the draft Concept for the
development of the E-Government system in 2019-2025, it is envisaged, in particular, to increase the share of public
services provided in electronic format from the current 37% to 80% and to improve the position on the rating of the
e-Government Development Index from 81st to 50th place by 2025.
In conclusion, I would like to note that in our country it is planned to create a Commission for coordinating
the development of the digital economy, which will develop a concept for the development of "Digital Uzbekistan"
until 2030. further development of telecommunications infrastructure, provision of high-quality mobile
communications, broadband Internet access to the population. First of all, it is necessary to fully digitalize the spheres
of construction, energy, agriculture and water management, transport, geology, cadastre, healthcare, education, and
archives. At the same time, the E-Government system, the programs and projects implemented within its framework
should be critically reviewed, and all organizational and institutional issues should be comprehensively resolved. This
will allow us to implement innovative projects in the future, which are based on public-private partnerships in the field
of the digital economy and are focused on supporting the production of modern software products. In the next two
years, we will allocate 250 billion sums for the introduction of a unified system of "electronic education". Science and
innovation create the basis for the development of the country.
