As Spot reported, Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting with investors and entrepreneurs in the electrical engineering sector on November 9. The president stressed the need for a “technological leap” in the industry.
The meeting also highlighted growing demand for ATMs, driven by the construction of new residential areas, shopping centres and entertainment complexes. In 2025 alone, Uzbekistan imported 9,000 ATMs worth more than $50 million.
The president instructed officials to assess the possibility of manufacturing ATMs in Uzbekistan, calculate domestic demand and attract the necessary technologies and investors.
Mirziyoyev also pointed to opportunities to localise other types of high-tech products. According to him, Tashkent Region could establish production of batteries and copper foil for electronics, while Jizzakh could manufacture inverters and charging stations for electric vehicles.
In Namangan, the government proposes setting up production of energy-efficient electric motors for water pumps. Karakalpakstan also has the potential to manufacture uninterruptible power supply systems and cooling equipment for servers.
