A government resolution No. 557, adopted on October 9, has approved measures for conducting a business registration exercise in Uzbekistan.
The registration will take place from October 15 to November 30, 2026. The reference date for the exercise is October 1, 2026, at 00:00.
The process will cover economic entities, including legal entities, individual entrepreneurs, dehkan farms, self-employed individuals and businesses operating without state registration.
Legal entities will register independently through the hisobot.stat.uz portal, while self-employed individuals will use the census.stat.uz website.
Registration officers will visit economic entities at their places of operation. Interviews will be conducted from 9 am to 6 pm.
Under the resolution, respondents' information will remain confidential and be used solely for statistical purposes. A call centre with the short number 1851 will be established to answer questions and handle enquiries.
The results of the registration exercise will be published on the official website of the National Statistics Committee by September 1, 2027. Within 10 days after the exercise ends, up to 5% of registered economic entities will be checked through sample-based inspections.
In early September, a meeting chaired by the president announced that the business registration exercise would take place in October and November. The president later signed a decree approving the national strategy “Development of Statistics — 2030” and setting out the use of registration data.
