Director of the Statistics Agency dismissed

Bahodir Abdusalomovich Begalov has been released from his position as director of the Statistics Agency under the President of Uzbekistan. The director position is currently vacant, as indicated on the agency's website. This information has also been confirmed by QALAMPIR.UZ.

Sources confirmed that Bahodir Abdusalomovich Begalov stepped down from his role. However, the resignation has not been officially announced, and the reasons for his dismissal remain unclear. The position of director is now listed as vacant on the agency's website.

For context, 56-year-old Bahodir Begalov had led the Statistics Agency since May 2017. From 2012 to 2016, he served as the deputy chairman of the State Statistics Committee.

It is also worth noting that the State Statistics Committee was restructured into the Statistics Agency at the end of 2022, following administrative changes, and was subsequently transferred under the direct oversight of the President. Currently, the agency has two deputy directors: Azam Anvarjonovich Ikromov (since 2016) and Zohidjon Murodovich Ziyoyev (since 2019).
