“Budget deficit will amount to at least 4% of GDP” — Jamshid Kuchkarov

The level of the budget deficit in 2022 may increase. “We cannot afford a 3% deficit. The deficit will be at least 4% of the GDP,” the Deputy PM Jamshid Kuchkarov said in his speech at the parliament. An increase in the deficit limit to 4% may be equivalent to an additional 8-8.5 trillion soums of public procurement.
