Affordable Rural Homes Provide Women in Uzbekistan with Stability and Access to Finance

Affordable homes in Uzbekistan's rural areas are providing local women with security and stability, as well as helping them develop relations of trust with commercial banks that provide them with both mortgages and business loans.

From 2011 to 2015, Uzbekistan received $500 million in loans from ADB to help build over 41,000 houses for moderate and lower-income rural residents. Women became the registered owners of over 4,300 houses — 26% of the total. This is a positive achievement in rural Uzbekistan, where homes are usually registered in a man’s name.
Improving living conditions, creating livelihood opportunities, and providing jobs in rural areas are priorities for ADB in Uzbekistan.
