By 2030, Uzbekistan will get a new power production system with 18-20 gigawatts of renewables, and over half of all power being produced from solar and wind power.

Furthermore, a large-scale program for the modernization of roads, railways, terminals, and airports is being implemented. More than $12 billion is planned to be contributed to the development of transport infrastructure by 2030. Digital cooperation with American companies Google, Meta, and NVIDIA is expanding – this includes the implementation of Apple Pay and Google Pay payment systems, the creation of a Digital Academy and a network of startup hubs.

It was announced that the DFC Corporation and the US Exim Bank would be involved in promoting and financially supporting these projects.
