Government to allocate 150 billion soums to compensate for demolitions and seizure of land plots

For this purpose, a relevant fund was established under the Cabinet of Ministers in accordance with the presidential decree “On measures to further improve the system of protecting the rights and legitimate interests of business entities”.

According to the people’s representative, the compensation of 150 billion soums will not cover all costs.

• Surkhandarya region – 56 billion soums;
• Fergana region – 45 billion soums;
• Jizzakh region – 43 billion soums;

At that time, 174 billion soums were planned to be allocated from the state budget and 183 billion soums – from local budgets. In addition, 733 billion soums were to be covered by the allocation of vacant objects and land plots.
