TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, May 12. Uzbekistan’s
planned reforms aimed at reducing bureaucracy in public services
could help the population save up to 35 billion soums ($2.9
million) annually on transportation expenses related to visits to
government agencies, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev said during a
presentation on measures to reduce bureaucracy in the public
services sector, Trend reports.
According to the proposals, the “zero bureaucracy” principle is
expected to be introduced across 783 types of public services.
The initiative considers the transition of 550 services into
electronic format and a twofold reduction in the number of
procedures required for their provision. Another 80 services are
planned to be transformed into proactive and composite formats.
The reforms are aimed at simplifying interaction between
citizens and state bodies and expanding the accessibility of
digital public services.
