A new copper cluster will be created near Akhangaran , which includes 12 projects worth $168 million . Its launch will ensure the processing of 90,000 tons of copper.

It was instructed to strictly control the introduction of labeling for household appliances , approved in early April. This will prevent the import of low-quality and counterfeit goods.

Research and development centers (R&D, R&D) will be established at the main enterprises of the industry . They will be provided with grants up to 10 billion soums, as well as tax benefits:
