After declaring independence the Government adopted a gradual approach to its transition to a market economy. This was motivated by a number of factors including:
- a large proportion of vulnerable people in the population
- a large gap between urban and rural incomes
- overspecialization in certain sectors: cotton, chemicals and agricultural machine building and a lack of consumer goods
- instability of neighbors (Afghanistan, Tajikistan)
- mentality of the former Soviet period and a scarcity of people trained to run the new institutions required by a market economy (Sirajiddinov 2004).
