At its 18th plenary session, the Senate reviewed the National Report on Combating Corruption in the Republic of Uzbekistan, submitted by the Anti-Corruption Agency.
The report noted that, following an expanded meeting of the National Anti-Corruption Council chaired by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, officials examined the root causes of corruption and bureaucratic red tape in the healthcare, education, employment, banking and cadastral sectors across the country, in line with the tasks set at that meeting.
Based on the findings, mobile working sessions were held in regions and ministries, and targeted "road maps" were approved for districts and cities identified as having a high risk of corruption.
The discussion also focused on persistent systemic problems and shortcomings in the field.
In particular, 7,517 people were prosecuted for corruption-related crimes in 2025, with damage to state interests exceeding 2.9 trillion soums.
The highest number of corruption-related offenses were recorded in preschool and school education, healthcare, local government bodies and commercial banks.
Corruption-related risk factors were identified in one out of every four draft legal and regulatory documents, while violations worth 12.6 trillion soums were recorded in public procurement. Several state agencies and regions also posted unsatisfactory results on anti-corruption effectiveness and transparency indices.
