The level of socio-economic development of the regions in Uzbekistan will be assessed by the new rating system, Trend reports citing Uzbek media.

Heads of government agencies and other organizations will ensure reliable and timely input of relevant data into the information system for the reporting year.
The results of the rating assessment for the past year will be annually submitted to the Presidential Administration, Cabinet of Ministers and representative bodies of state power, and discussed at government meetings.
