According to the official document, the goal has been set to reduce the poverty rate to 2.8 percent and the unemployment rate to 4.5 percent by 2026. Previously, the President's Address to the Oliy Majlis also set the task of reducing poverty and unemployment to a level of 4.5 percent.
According to official statistics, by the end of 2025, the unemployment rate was reduced from 5.5 percent to 4.9 percent, and the poverty rate from 8.9 percent to 5.8 percent.
At the same time, the monetary expression of the poverty rate, which is the calculated minimum consumer expenditures, has not yet been indexed.
Currently, it amounts to 669 thousand soums. According to current legislation, this indicator should have been revised by January 20, 2026, taking annual inflation into account.
