        In this regard, many reforms are being carried out in our country.On January 3, 2017, the “Anti-Corruption Law” was accepted. According to statistics, Uzbekistan is 180th in the world in 2015, 158th in 2019 and 126th in 2020. When we reduce this figure to zero, Uzbekistan will reach a real level of growth, said G. Yakubov, head of the department of management of the Institute's Anti-Corruption ''Compliance Control'' System.

  In short, corruption is a dangerous crime that threatens security. The fight against this scourge should be the supreme duty of all of us, not just the relevant authorities. Only when an entire society unites, we can eliminate this danger.
