The Anti-Corruption Agency has released its 2025 Openness Index, evaluating the transparency of government bodies and state-owned organizations.
Established by presidential decree, the index is calculated using eight key indicators comprising 84 distinct assessment criteria. The 2025 evaluation covered a total of 97 executive agencies and state companies.
The results reportedly show significant progress: 66 organizations achieved a Green rating (up from 50 in 2024), 22 were classified as "Yellow" (down from 35), and only 9 fell into the Red category (down from 13). Compared to the inaugural 2022 assessment, the number of high-performing Green entities has surged 3.5 times, while Yellow and Red performers have decreased by two and three times, respectively.
At the top of the 2025 leaderboard are Uzbekhydroenergo, the Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Combinat (NMMC), and Uzavtosanoat. Conversely, the lowest overall scores were recorded by the Tashkent City Administration, the Andijan Province Administration, and Uzbekistan Railways.
Among ministries, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Digital Technologies, and the Ministry of Water Resources emerged as leaders. In contrast, the performance of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Investment, and Agriculture left much to be desired.
On the provincial level, the administrations of Khorezm, Jizzakh, and Kashkadarya posted the best results. At the bottom of the scale, the Tashkent City Administration (scoring just 40 out of 100), Andijan (43), and Tashkent province (49) struggled significantly. Within the banking sector, Turonbank led the way, while Aloqabank trailed with the lowest transparency score.
Looking ahead, the Agency plans to cascade these evaluations down to the local level. Starting in the second half of 2026, a pilot program will launch to assess the transparency of district and city administrations within the Navoi region via the index.anticorruption.uz platform.
