In this regard, the entry of Spanish companies into the Uzbek market opens up wide opportunities to enter the huge Asian market. He also stressed the high level of macroeconomic indicators and the stable development of our country's economy.

In his opinion, the reduction of the value added tax rate from 20% to 12%, as well as exemption from customs duties for enterprises importing goods for their own needs at a rate of at least 33%, is a good signal for the revival of the leadership of Spanish companies in the Uzbek market.
