️ As part of Uzbekistan's pharmaceutical industry development program, 16 investment projects totaling $203 million are planned for implementation in the Andijan region. A key project will be a $30 million facility for producing human albumin from blood plasma, which will become the first enterprise of its kind in the history of the country's pharmaceutical sector.

️ During a video conference chaired by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, it was also announced that the Syrdarya region is set to attract $188 million in investment projects this year. Among the priorities is export development, with plans to supply $50 million worth of medicines to the Afghan market.

️ However, the meeting highlighted insufficient utilization of potential in several other regions. Investment proposals from the heads of Navoi, Kashkadarya, and Surkhandarya regions failed to reach even $100 million, indicating a need to revise approaches to project portfolio formation in these areas.

️ In response, responsible agencies have been instructed to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the economic efficiency of plans submitted by the regions, launch a rehabilitation program for enterprises operating below capacity or held on bank balance sheets, and accelerate the practical implementation of approved initiatives aimed at reducing import dependency.
