The document was published by the Ministry of Economy and Finance and is aimed at improving the standard of living of the population, increasing real incomes and strengthening social support.
Unlike the previous strategy (2025-2027), which provided for an indexation not lower than inflation, the new program assumes a real increase in payments.
It is also planned to tighten the conditions for granting social tax benefits. In particular, the maintenance of a reduced social tax rate of 1% until 2028 in the service sector applies only to employees under the age of 30, provided that their salaries exceed 3 million soums.
According to the estimates of the Ministry of Finance, in 2025 the volume of transfers from the state budget to the Pension Fund will amount to more than 20 trillion soums, and by 2028 it will grow to 26 trillion soums, which is almost twice as much as in 2023.
The strategy also provides calculations: a 1% increase in public sector salaries will require 1.67 trillion soums from the budget; a similar increase in pensions - 861 billion soums. An increase in the number of families receiving benefits by 10% will lead to additional costs of about 1.6 trillion soums.
