Uzbekistan has reviewed more than 4,000 draft regulatory legal acts over recent years for anti-competitive restrictions — problematic provisions were identified in 52% of them. This was reported by Khalilulloh Turakhodzhaev, chair of the Committee for Competition Development and Consumer Rights Protection, in an article published in the newspaper Yangi Uzbekistan.
In addition, 6,700 decisions by state bodies and local khokimiyats that restricted competition in markets have been annulled.
Turakhodzhaev noted that since the start of reforms in 2017, competition policy has become a permanent feature of the country's economic policy agenda. In 2023, a new Competition Law was adopted: it introduces mechanisms to counter abuse of dominant position and cartel agreements, regulates state aid and economic concentration, and extends its requirements to state-owned enterprises and digital platforms.
