In the last three years, the price of mobile internet in Uzbekistan has decreased by 9 times and has risen to 15th place in the international ranking (from 68th place).  The president of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, announced this during a meeting with representatives of the IT sector at the "Astrum" academy.

"Today, I came to the new IT academy to hold a meeting with our young people and senior specialists in the field of IT, which are extremely important to us.

I believe that the issues that we will solve together today will give great impetus and motivation to the aspirations of the youth of Uzbekistan in the field of IT," - the head of state said.

According to Mirziyoyev, IT services are rapidly developing in the world.  The growth rate of this industry is 10 percent per year in the world, and will reach 4.3 trillion dollars this year.

"We have started major reforms to gain a strong position in this market.  In the last five years, 2 billion dollars, including 700 million dollars of direct investments, have been funded to the industry.

Three years ago, we established IT parks and introduced a special tax regime for them," - said the president.

Due to this, 14,000 young people are provided with high-income jobs in IT parks today.  At the same time, the number of self-employed IT specialists increased by 2.5 times since the beginning of the year and reached 43 thousand.

This year, 134 new IT companies, including 50 foreign ones, were established in the country, and the number of exporting enterprises doubled.

"In the last three years, the price of mobile internet has decreased by 9 times, and we have risen to 15th place in the international ranking (from 68th place).

The volume and export of IT services have increased several times.

The most significant thing is that mastering IT professions has become a trend among young people," says Mirziyoyev.
