By presidential decree, Jamshid Kuchkarov has been approved as the Minister of Economy and Finance. At the same time, he retained his position as Deputy Prime Minister.

His candidacy was earlier approved by the deputies of the Legislative Chamber of Oliy Majlis.

Former Minister of Economy and Finance Sherzod Kudbiyev has become the Chairman of the Tax Committee under the Cabinet of Ministers.

It should be recalled that at the end of December last year, administrative reforms were carried out in the country and Kudbiyev was appointed head of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, which, in particular, included the Tax Committee. Now they are two different departments.
