Uzbekistan to explore possibility of domestic ATM production

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has instructed to explore the possibility of producing ATMs within the country. In 2025, Uzbekistan imported 9,000 devices worth over $50 million. Mirziyoyev also proposed calculating domestic demand, attracting necessary technologies, and investors.

The need for ATMs, as noted during the meeting, is growing annually amid the construction of new residential areas, shopping, and entertainment complexes. During the meeting with investors and entrepreneurs in the electrical engineering sector, the president emphasized the need for a "technological leap" in the field.

The head of state separately pointed out the opportunities for localizing other high-tech products. In Tashkent Region, he said, it is possible to establish the production of batteries and copper foil for electronics.

In Jizzakh, it is proposed to organize the production of inverters and charging stations for electric transport. In Namangan, the production of energy-efficient electric motors for water pumps is under consideration.

In Karakalpakstan, as noted during the meeting, there is potential for producing uninterruptible power supplies and cooling systems for servers.

Earlier, the Central Bank called for an objective investigation into complaints about problems with withdrawing money from ATMs.
