It is intended to allocate $500 million to create new jobs in the service sector in Tashkent, Namangan and Samarkand. The funds will be spent under a special program.

Reportedly, more job opportunities should appear in the sphere of trade, by introducing a tax-free system and by opening duty-free shops to attract tourists.
