The parties discussed promising joint measures aimed at protecting the population from the spread of coronavirus, supporting enterprises, primarily small and medium-sized businesses, agricultural producers and individual entrepreneurs. Opportunities and mechanisms of the World Bank in supporting the mitigation of the impact of global coronavirus pandemic on the socio-economic situation in Uzbekistan were also considered, the MIFT press service said.
