Private agencies to receive 1.5 million Uzbekistani soms for each citizen employed abroad
Starting in 2027, private employment agencies with trusted organization status will assist citizens of Uzbekistan in finding jobs abroad. Agencies will receive 1.5 million soms for each citizen who secures a high-paying job.
During a meeting in Tashkent on labor migration issues, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted the growth of the private market for employment services. However, he stated that errors, corruption, and deception of job seekers still occur in the work of these agencies.
The performance of companies will be evaluated based on a rating system for private employment agencies. Key indicators include the alignment of actual working conditions with those advertised, compliance with migrant rights, salary levels, and social guarantees.
Private training centers will receive free access to technical college facilities to prepare young citizens for professions and foreign languages. For payments to teachers and experts invited from abroad, these centers will be allowed to apply a social tax rate of 1%. Equipment imported for training purposes will be exempt from customs duties.
Responsible authorities have been instructed to prepare a draft resolution on the further development of the employment sector within a month.
