Head of SPMI details fate of property transferred to state
Beksultan Tokonov, director of the State Property Management Agency (SPMI), answered journalists' questions during a press tour as part of the Open Cabinet project. The key figure of the meeting: since 2021, 1,927 movable and immovable property assets have entered state ownership.
As Tokonov explained, property comes to the state in two ways: by court decision and voluntarily. Out of the total number, more than 300 assets were confiscated, while over 1.6 thousand were handed over by the owners themselves.
The property is then distributed across three areas. About 15% have already been sold, another 25% have been transferred to the balance sheets of state-owned enterprises and companies with state shares for operational management or perpetual use, and 60% to ministries, agencies, and departments.
Over the period from 2023 to 2026, the agency sold property worth approximately 25.5 billion som. Assets intended for sale or lease are put up for electronic auction. According to Tokonov, the platform eliminates the human factor, and the proceeds go to the budget.
Transferring an asset to a department does not mean closing the issue. For the inefficient use of property, the director recalled, personal responsibility is provided for the head of the state body. SPMI conducts monitoring. If an asset stands idle or is used inefficiently, the agency takes it back and puts it up for auction whenever possible.
