During a video conference chaired by the President on February 7 focused on developing the service sector, the proposal to establish the Trade and Service Entrepreneurs’ Association received official support.
The association was founded with the involvement of 10 co-founders, with Zafar Hoshimov, founder of the “Korzinka” supermarket chain, appointed as its head, as he announced on his Telegram channel.
Hoshimov described the association as a “center for support, guidance, consultation, and expertise” aimed at fostering collaboration between entrepreneurs, state bodies, and those seeking to develop business in the trade and service sectors. He also highlighted that the association’s scope would extend to the education and utility services sectors. He expressed confidence that its development would contribute to reducing unemployment and poverty in the country.
As Chairman of the Association of Retail Trade and Public Catering Enterprises, Hoshimov shared during an interview with the “O‘zbekiston 24” TV channel that the companies under the new association’s founders collectively employ 50,000 people.
