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. Prime Minister of the Republic of Uzbekistan A. ARIPOV Tashkent city, October 25, 2023, Translated from original https://static.norma.uz/doc/doc_9/561.pdf.
