Social Economy Is the Basis of Strong Social Policy
The People’s Democratic Party of Uzbekistan considers that the saturation of the domestic market with domestically produced goods with high added value is a key factor in ensuring sustainable economic development.
To this end, the party believes it is necessary to study, at the level of local khokimiyats, the needs of the territories in food and non-food consumer goods and to make a forecast of the development of consumer demand taking into account the current trends of population growth. At the same time, special attention should be paid to those groups of goods for the production of which the necessary resources are available in the respective territories.
On this basis, the party proposes to develop and approve territorial medium-term programs for the development of the production of relevant goods, based on specific cities and districts, balanced with territorial employment and job creation programs and training programs for professionals with secondary vocational and higher education.
In order to stimulate the business activity of small businesses and private entrepreneurship in the implementation of these programs, the party proposes:
- Introduce into practice, at the district and city levels, the implementation of access of small businesses and private entrepreneurship to preferential financial, credit and material resources for the implementation of the most effective economically justified business projects;
- to envisage the creation of special district and city investment funds for the development of import-substituting production by directing part of the proceeds from customs duties on imported goods sold in the respective territories to the relevant local budgets;
- Introduce “production mortgage” (establishment of turn-key enterprises at the expense of investment resources of commercial banks with subsequent sale on credit or leasing to business entities) and zero-interest loans for implementation of justified business projects on production of import-substituting socially significant goods and services.
Concentration of efforts on the solution of this complex of tasks contributes to the realization of a number of long-term social interests of the unemployed labour capacitated population in the economy:
- the outstripping creation of new stable jobs in the production sector, which provide for higher wages;
- expansion of the range of national producers entering the domestic market with their goods promotes the development of healthy competition and, as a result, improvement of the quality of goods and stabilization of consumer prices.
Besides, achieving domestic competitiveness is important in order to achieve the competitiveness of domestically produced goods in external markets as well.
The PDP of Uzbekistan believes that liberalisation of the economy and the formation of a market system do not in themselves guarantee the achievement of social goals of economic growth. In this regard, it is necessary to form a system of democratic state and social regulation and control over economic development. To this end, the party intends to strive for:
- the widespread introduction of social dialogue and democratic social control mechanisms for the implementation of structural reforms in the economy and the introduction of new technologies to ensure that these processes are accompanied by an increase in the employment rate of the population in stable, high-paid jobs and to ensure an adequate level of occupational safety and health and environmental friendliness of production;
- formation of a modern system of technological expertise with participation in it, in the order of social partnership, of the trade unions and other civil society institutions;
- creation of an effective system of public control over investments, ensuring the protection of public interests in investment policy.
The party will initiate public hearings, consultations and other forms of direct dialogue with the people through its parliamentary faction, party groups in the Kengashes of People's Deputies and party organizations on the ground in order to implement the relevant tasks.
Supporting the measures taken in the country to increase the export of agricultural products, the party supports the adoption of additional measures to ensure that this does not lead to a decrease in saturation of the domestic market and an increase in prices for food products of own production. To this end, the party will organize public monitoring of the relevant segments of the consumer market, following the results of which it will, through own party groups in the Kengashes of People's Deputies, make proposals on taking the necessary measures to stabilize the prices of food products produced in the country.
The party’s slogan for these matters is
We stand out for development of a social economy that ensures the well-being of all!

In order to encourage businesses to create stable jobs with wages higher than the average nominal accrued wage in the relevant sectors and territories, the party proposes to consider the following issues:
- on setting differentiated rates for payments to off-budget social funds equated to taxes, calculated on the basis of wages and salaries (the reverse scale for enterprises - the higher the average wage, the lower the single social payment rate);
- on non-application of statutory tax benefits and establishment of higher rates of profit tax for enterprises and private entrepreneurs who pay wages at a level lower than the average nominal gross salary in the relevant sectors and territories.
