Baku, Azerbaijan, July 26
By Fakhri Vakilov - Trend:
The largest amount of investment in fixed assets in Uzbekistan in a territorial aspect for the first half of 2019 is noted in the Kashkadarya region - 2.1 times more than last year, Trend reports with reference to the State Statistics Committee of Uzbekistan.
The increase in growth rates was achieved through the construction of an organization for the production of synthetic liquid fuels, the development of oil and gas fields, as well as other major investment projects.
Moreover, high growth rates were also observed in the Syrdarya region, having doubled the volume compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. This result can be explained by the phased modernization of power units of the Syrdarya thermal power plant.
The growth of investments by 99.3 percent compared to last year in the Namangan region is primarily associated with the construction of a thermal power station in the Turakurgan district.
The decline in investment growth over the same period last year was noted in the Bukhara region by 8.9 percent, which is mainly due to large investment projects of past years for the construction of a complex associated with gas processing.
Tashkent city still leads in the regional context, which is 21.1 percent of the total investment in fixed assets.
Respectively, this indicator in Kashkadarya and Navoi regions reached 12.1 and 11.6 percent.
The share of investments in fixed assets to the total volume in Uzbekistan was the lowest in the Khorezm and Syrdarya regions - 2.8 percent and 2.9 percent, respectively.
