Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbekistan will conduct a business census from 15 October to 30 November 2026, covering legal entities, individual entrepreneurs, dehkan farms, self-employed citizens and businesses operating without official registration.
The measures were approved under Government Resolution No. 557 dated 9 October 2026.
The reference date for the census is 1 October 2026 at 00:00, although the data collection process will continue until the end of November.
