Anchored in the government’s medium-term development plan as outlined in a January 2015 Cabinet of Ministers Program of Action, it also reflects the analysis and recommendations of the World Bank Group’s (WBG) 2015 Systematic Country Diagnostic (SCD) for Uzbekistan and the lessons learned from the Completion Report of the previous CPS. The CPF’s objectives and program, which focus on developing the conditions for faster job creation, are consistent with the WBG’s twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. The Uzbekistan Systemic Country Diagnostic (SCD) identified ten priority areas that would need to be addressed to eliminate poverty, boost shared prosperity, and enable Uzbekistan to reach upper middle-income status. The government’s strategic objectives are for Uzbekistan to achieve upper middleincome status by 2030, implying income growth averaging 6 percent annually, and in particular to create 500,000 jobs annually. Building country systems for statistical, fiduciary, safeguard, and statistical capacity underlie the foundation of this CPF. The CPF program will remain flexible as circumstances change and new opportunities may arise.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOTARIFFSINTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDSPOPULATION DENSITIESEMPLOYMENTFINANCIAL SERVICESREGULATORY FRAMEWORKOPERATIONAL RISKFISHECONOMIC GROWTHACCOUNTINGURBANIZATIONEXCISE TAXESMARKET DISTORTIONSWASTE MANAGEMENTURBAN GROWTHRETIREMENTFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTPRINCIPALINTERESTLAWSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONGUARANTEESPRIVATIZATIONINDUSTRYPRODUCERSRESOURCE MANAGEMENTBANKING SYSTEMLOCAL GOVERNMENTSSTRATEGIESFINANCIAL RESOURCESRESOURCE ALLOCATIONLABOR FORCEWATER SUPPLYSERVICESRIVER BASINSPUBLIC SERVICESHOUSINGREVENUESINCENTIVESPRICINGPROJECTSSEWERAGE SERVICESASSET MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSAVINGAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTINFLATIONECONOMIC ANALYSISAUDITSSAFETY NETSECONOMIC ACTIVITYMACROECONOMIC STABILITYDEMONSTRATION EFFECTSFISCAL POLICIESSAVINGSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCEOILTRANSPORTLOCAL LAWSACCOUNTING POLICIESPRIVATE BANKSPRODUCTIVITYOPTIONSWATER USEMIGRATIONTRANSFERSQUOTASSUSTAINABLE WATERCRITERIACABINET OF MINISTERSFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSMARKETSDEBTALLOCATIVE EFFICIENCYLOCAL GOVERNMENTDEFICITSLEGISLATIONPUBLIC FINANCELABORLOANSENTERPRISESDIVIDENDSNATURAL RESOURCESSUBSIDIESREAL SECTORLEGAL FRAMEWORKFINANCEEFFICIENCYCERTAIN EXTENTINFRASTRUCTURETAXESACCESS TO INFORMATIONBANKING SECTORIMPORT TARIFFSLAND USEBANKSISLAMIC DEVELOPMENT BANKRESOURCESEQUITYINCOME TAXESACCOUNTABILITYCONTINUOUS MONITORINGWAGESOPERATING COSTSCLIMATE CHANGESOCIAL SERVICESENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTVALUESMARKET PRICESSUBSIDIARIESVALUEPENSIONSBANKGOVERNMENT FINANCECREDITDIVISION OF LABORDEMANDCPIEQUITY INVESTMENTSSUSTAINABLE USENATIONAL INCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONSUPERVISORY FRAMEWORKELECTRICITY GENERATIONENVIRONMENTSEXPENDITURESPROPERTYDECISION MAKINGFISCAL YEARAGRICULTURAL SYSTEMSTRANSACTION COSTSENVIRONMENTFOREIGN EXCHANGETRADE UNIONSURBAN DEVELOPMENTTERMS OF TRADEPROFITABILITYENERGY EFFICIENCYCREDIT RISKGOVERNANCEINSURANCETAXATIONMICROFINANCEECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTTRADELANDECONOMIES OF SCALEACCOUNTING STANDARDSDRINKING WATERRISKCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGEFARMSFINANCIAL MARKETSCOMPETITIVE MARKETSTAX ADMINISTRATIONREVENUEPRIVATE CONSUMPTIONRISK MANAGEMENTLENDINGLIVING CONDITIONSPERSONAL INCOME TAXESENTREPRENEURSHIPENVIRONMENTALLABOR MARKETSADBGOVERNMENTSWETLANDSHEALTH SERVICESPRICESPRODUCTION COSTSECONOMIESAUDITINGPUBLIC GOODSReportWorld Bank10.1596/24680
