In particular, the funds of credit allocated:
367.2 billion sum for the development of family business and crafts 1,647.0 billion sum for women's entrepreneurship 2,752.6 billion sum for manufacture of food products 2,993.0 billion sum for manufacture of non-food products 362.1 billion sum for financing business plans of graduates of professional colleges.
By 2016, the country's foreign economic activity in the global economy, including the main trade partners of the country watching the unstable economic and financial situation, as well as external markets caused by the effect of the decrease in prices of the main raw material to display the results in 2016, despite the unfavorable competitive conditions' external trade surplus reached. And it provided the positive balance of payments and helped the growth of gold and currency reserves in the country.
In 2016 foreign economic activity of local manufacturers was put into practice at complex trade and a sharp competitive environment which was formed as a result of a sharp devaluation of national currency environment in the main export markets, remaining at low levels of prices, and a number of commercial partnerships of a sharp devaluation of national currency during the last 2-3 years.
The total amount of exported goods and services increased 0.5% compared to 2015, and it was almost 12.6 billion US dollars in spite of these unfavorable conditions of populism and trade. This, in turn, shows the increasing of the export potential of the enterprises and the amount of evidence of higher rates of export. In 2016, the amount of imported goods and services was cut down 2.4% compared to 2015, and it was more than 12.1 billion US dollars (the official web site of the Central Bank of Uzbekistan: www.cbu.uz).
A decrease in the volume of imports in dollar amount is interpreted particularly oil, and decreasing in prices of raw products and services which are necessary for our economy and also foreign suppliers of goods and services in many foreign countries devaluation of the national currency against the US dollar. In general, foreign trade circulation was more than 24.7 billion US dollars in 2016, it was cut down 1.0% compared to 2015. The positive surplus of foreign trade balance was 453.6 million US dollars.
The inflation rate dynamics plays an important role in the conduct of monetary policy by Central Bank and the implementation of measures aimed at ensuring the stability of prices in the economy by the government in curbing inflation in 2016 and its forecast has been achieved. At the end of 2016 on the basis of the consumer price index inflation rate was 5.7%.
At the same time, the main focus was on the economy to stimulate domestic demand and increase the pace of economic growth through the expansion of the volume of production, financial support for the favorable prerequisites and ultimately to main macroeconomic stability in the country.
The main trading partner countries, taking into consideration the economic conditions and trends, the country's real sector businesses and measures to prevent the negative impact of the macroeconomic situation in general praise swap.
In our view, the high economic growth rates are expected due to the following factors:
- To increase the volume of investments in fixed capital by active investment policy.
- Deepening the structural changes in the industry, including continuous technical and technological renewal of production and the modernization and diversification of products with high added value as well as to continue the growth of the industry due to the expansion of the size and type of production supply.
- Agricultural reform and development as well as the diversification of production in the area and increasing productivity due to the implementation of the program objectives and measures to increase agricultural products.
- The service sector accelerated growth, small business and entrepreneurship in the rapid development, its financial sector entities, and to create a favorable business environment to continue for support a systematic, purposeful and programmatic measures.
We think that the implementation of the above measures will help to macroeconomic stability and balanced development of the economy and regions of the country.
