Comments on: Uzbek labor migrants are to share their income with the government http://uzbekistan.neweurasia.net/2007/05/24/uzbek-labor-migrants-are-to-share-their-income-with-the-government/ Open discussion about current issues in Uzbekistan Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:20:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 By: Botir http://uzbekistan.neweurasia.net/2007/05/24/uzbek-labor-migrants-are-to-share-their-income-with-the-government/#comment-26155 Botir Tue, 19 Jun 2007 17:08:41 +0000 http://uzbekistan.neweurasia.net/2007/05/24/uzbek-labor-migrants-are-to-share-their-income-with-the-government/#comment-26155 In last two years Uzbekistan has witnessed a large emigration of workers, which also brought to a large amount of remittances. Money sent by Uzbek immigrants has been bigger in sums than that of development aid given by the EU and US, at least (another reason to be friends and allies with Russia?). Ministry of economy and statistics could not have overseen this fact. To boost the emigration, or money inflow, if you want, there were even a number of measures taken. Eliminating of taxes for imported buses having more than 12 seats was one of them. Also foreign (Russian in first hand) financial institutions and banks rushed to open their offices in Tashkent to have a share on those remittances. But as usual security services could not stay aside and watch people getting established. To get an exit visa was a pain in the ass, and now it became even harder. Prosecutor's office is pushing the Minitry of internal to look into the incomes of people driving expensive cars. I would only suggest to the greatest thinkers of Uzbek politics to put taxes on the incomes of Uzbeks working abroad, and eventually reach their ultimate goal and tax the air Uzbeks breath.

OK corrupt dictatorships are not unique to Uzbekistan but there are different sorts and gradations. Some self-serving, corrupt elites are just that. And while they don't give a damn about the mass of their subjects at least they don't actively prevent their subjects from helping and figuring it out themselves, like the Tashkent regime does.

It is making citizen much angrier towards the current regime." Thank you Tolkün. Not only that. If the Karimovites really want to organise their own downfall that way: great. Labor migration and the remittances are actually one of the last lifelines for many Uzbeks and other Central Asians, ans also a demographic security valve since many unemployed you men are away for part of the year and do not make trouble at home then. Either case, Karimov and his satraps are toast. History has its own justice and hell awaits. “However, one thing is obvious. It is making citizen much angrier towards the current regime.”
