Uzbekistan's 2027 Budget: Tax Rates Hold, Education and Health Spending Rise
Uzbekistan keeps core tax rates for 2027 and plans about 176 trillion soum for education and health. What this means for suppliers.
What happened
Uzbekistan will not raise its main tax rates for 2027. The budget targets were discussed at a meeting chaired by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. Revenue is planned at 416 trillion soum and spending at 464 trillion soum. Inflation is to stay within 6%.
Social spending stays the priority. Education and health together get about 176 trillion soum. Education spending rises by 14 trillion soum, health by 12 trillion. Another 70 trillion soum goes to regional and mahalla infrastructure and social protection.
A deficit budget with growing social spending means the state will buy a lot: school and hospital equipment, furniture, supplies, repairs, food and cleaning services. Flat tax rates remove the risk of a sudden fiscal hit in the middle of a procurement cycle.
What it means for suppliers
Education, health and infrastructure suppliers stand to gain. Higher spending turns into real purchases of equipment, furniture, consumables, repair work, food and cleaning. If you supply medical gear, school equipment, building materials or work as a contractor on social sites, prepare your documents and price offers now.
TenderLabs data for 14 November 2026 shows 4,543 open lots in Medicine, 2,279 in Construction and 352 in Education and Training. Activity in these sectors is already high, and extra budget money will likely push it higher in 2027.
When exactly the new tenders appear is hard to say. The budget must be adopted first. Then ministries and regions allocate funds and announce purchases. This usually happens after the year starts, as limits are passed down. So prepare now rather than wait for the first announcements.
What to do now
- Check which sectors you can enter: medicine, education, construction and infrastructure are the most likely growth areas.
- Sort out your digital signature and registration in the public procurement system, so formalities don't cost you days when a lot is announced.
- Refresh your document pack: licenses, conformity certificates, proof of experience, especially for medical and school products.
- Review prices and logistics for higher volumes: regional and mahalla purchases will need delivery to the sites.
- Watch for published budget limits in your areas. That is an early signal of where lots will appear.
TenderLabs can help you track lots in these sectors as they appear.
