According to preliminary data, the country's gross domestic product (GDP) for the first two months of the current year amounted to 264.1 billion soms, which is 8.8% higher compared to the same period last year.
The most significant growth was observed in the following sectors:
- construction — 23.2%,
- industry — 15.5%,
- services — 6.7%,
- agriculture — 2.6%.
The greatest progress was noted in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries, as well as in the production of vehicles and construction materials.
"The volume of investments in fixed assets amounted to 17.8 billion soms, which is 11.5% higher due to internal funding sources," Kasymaliev reported.
Additionally, the meeting presented the results of budget execution by the tax and customs services in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance. The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of timely and complete fulfillment of budget indicators.
The reforms discussed at the meeting are part of the "Government Accelerators" program.
The first reform aims to simplify access to financial services in the securities market. Plans include the implementation of remote digital identification of clients, access to the state passport registry, and the ability for foreign investors to open brokerage accounts remotely. The identification process is expected to be reduced to 15 minutes.
The second reform involves converting health books into electronic format with integration into the "Sanarip Klinik" system and the "Tündük" mobile application. It is expected that document processing will take four days instead of eight, and the number of visits to medical institutions will decrease from five to two. A unified registry and online verification will be created, allowing savings of up to 6–12 million soms per year.
"Digitalization of the financial market and updating the health book system is not only convenient for citizens but also an important step towards increasing investment attractiveness and strengthening the country's economic stability," noted Kasymaliev.
Relevant agencies are required to implement the reforms within 100 days.
The meeting also discussed preparations for spring fieldwork, focusing on regional readiness, providing farmers with necessary resources, and successfully conducting the sowing campaign.
