OF THE CABINET OF MINISTERS OF THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN

DECISION
ON APPROVAL OF THE NATIONAL "GREEN" ECONOMY TAXONOMY

the decision of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On measures to increase the
effectiveness of reforms aimed at the transition of the Republic of Uzbekistan to a "green" economy
until 2030" dated December 2, 2022 PQ-436, as well as to expand the attraction of private capital for
"green" infrastructures in the republic , In order to introduce criteria for the classification of "green"
activities in the development of financial instruments in the "green" economy, the Cabinet of
Ministers decides:
Decision of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PQ-4477 of October 4, 2019 "On
approval of the strategy of the transition to the "green" economy of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the period
2019-2030" .
National "green" taxonomy for classification of "green" activities in paragraph 65 of the
action plan for the transition to a "green" economy and ensuring "green" growth in the Republic of
Uzbekistan until 2030, approved by the decision of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No.
PQ-436 of December 2, 2022 Please note that the development is set for reference.
2. National "green" economy taxonomy, which provides for the assessment of compliance
criteria based on the definition of the categories of the main directions of the "green" economy and
the classification of "green" type of activity, should be approved in accordance with the appendix .
3. Let it be noted that:
a) The Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Republic of Uzbekistan is the executive
body of the republic responsible for the introduction and coordination of the national "green"
economy taxonomy;
b) until October 1, 2024:
classification of "green" projects financed by "green" bonds and loans, as well as other
sources, is experimentally carried out through the National "green" economy taxonomy;
Investment costs of all business entities that use state financial support (subsidies, grants,
credit lines, guarantees, etc.), including private and state-owned economic associations, are classified
based on the National "green" economy taxonomy, and information is provided by them to the
responsible republican executive authority. procedure will be introduced.
4. The interdepartmental council for coordination of measures for the transition to a "green"
economy in the Republic of Uzbekistan (J. Kochkarov) will update the composition of
interdepartmental working groups made up of ministries and agencies and foreign experts by January
1, 2024, as well as one of these working groups, the National Taxonomy of the "Green" Economy
ensure that it is attached to the processes related to its introduction.
5. Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Republic of Uzbekistan together with interested
ministries and agencies:
Ensure that the nature of the national "green" economy taxonomy and the compliance criteria
defined in it are widely explained among business entities;
As part of the experiment carried out until December 1, 2024, study the state of introduction
of the national taxonomy of "green" economy and make a proposal to the Cabinet of Ministers
regarding the improvement of the criteria specified in it.
6. Control of the execution of this decision is under the control of the Deputy Prime Minister
of the Republic of Uzbekistan - the Minister of Economy and Finance J.A. Put it on Kokhorov.
