​The 32nd anniversary of the adoption of the country's Constitution is celebrated in a particularly high spirit and festive atmosphere since this year the Basic Law in a new edition was adopted as a result of a nationwide referendum. For the first time in the history of national statehood, we have a Constitution that is perfect in all respects, the priority norms of which have acquired the force of direct action.

Since the Industrial Revolution, a linear economic model based on the principle of “extraction - production - disposal” has dominated in many countries. However, the growing shortage of raw materials and energy resources, fluctuations in prices on commodity markets, environmental pollution, the growth of areas occupied by industrial waste, and massive emissions of greenhouse gases have pushed society and business to rethink the traditional economic model. The concept of a circular economy based on the “extraction-production-reuse” chain is attracting more and more attention. According to this principle, resources are used longer and waste is minimized.

Since the first days of Uzbekistan's independence, great attention has been paid to the system of social protection of the population.

At first, decrees of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, government decisions, then industry laws and a number of statutory documents were adopted - thus, the system of social protection of the population based on national legislation began to form.

In recent years, the state has implemented large-scale reforms in Uzbekistan on sustainable economic development, comprehensive support for entrepreneurs, protection of private property and reform of the tax system. New regulations have been adopted in this area, appropriate measures have been taken to improve the economic infrastructure, increase the country’s export potential, develop the digital economy and improve the investment climate of the territories, as well as intensify cooperation with foreign countries.
