Annex A:  RESULTS FRAMEWORK 

Focus Areas 1: Private sector growth

The growth of private firms, both small and large, is essential to meet the government’s growth and employment 

creation objectives. The private sector will increasingly be the driver of the job creation and growth that are central 

to the CPF’s job creation objective and the WBG’s twin goals. Yet the private sector remains constrained by several 

factors that are consistently raised in private sector consultations, analytical work, and the Uzbekistan SCD, 

including under-developed financial markets, an overly complex regulatory environment, uneven competition with 

SOEs, and the uneven transition to market-based economic policy
