Five years ago, around 650 million people lived in poverty across the globe. Today, that number has climbed to more than 800 million. In other words, one out of every ten people on Earth still struggles to meet their basic needs. These stark realities place urgent responsibilities on governments, international organisations, and the global community.
Amid this global challenge, Uzbekistan has made the fight against poverty a state priority. As part of its efforts, the country hosted the 3rd International Forum “From Poverty to Prosperity” in Namangan, bringing together nearly 200 international experts, policymakers, and representatives of leading financial institutions.
