TASHKENT (UzReport) – Uzbek businessman, Alisher Usmanov gave an interview to Russia 1 TV channel, highlighting the profitable areas for investors to invest in Uzbekistan.

Usmanox said:

First of all, it is the deepening of processing of cotton, fruit and vegetable products and, most importantly, it is a full course for the development of mining wealth, which the Uzbek land is full of. And it is not just mining. Those fossils, which are in the territory of Uzbekistan, primarily concern non-ferrous metals.

The billionaire also expressed his opinion on real reforms in Uzbekistan:

The country, if not after the stagnation, after the hard, so to speak, overcoming of the Soviet legacy in the economy, for the first time has started real reforms. And the initiator of these reforms is the leader of the state, who has set a course, first of all, to improve the well-being of his people, as well as strengthen friendship and good neighborliness with the countries of Central Asia and the Russian Federation. I think this is not a bad start for big economic projects.
