History

Soviet era

The Ministry of Finance of the Uzbek SSR was established in 1924, shortly after the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic was created from the remnants of the Turkestan ASSR, Khorezm SSR, and Bukhara SSR. However, it was established as People's Commissariat of Finance with autonomous authority and commission.

It functioned as a republic-level branch of the USSR Ministry of Finance, operating under central directives but managing republican-level financial planning and control. With the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War in 1941, the Ministry of Finance of the Uzbek SSR assumed a critical wartime role, operating under both the Council of Ministers of the Uzbek SSR and directives from the USSR Ministry of Finance in Moscow. During the war, the Ministry radically restructured the republican budget, diverting substantial funds toward:

Post-war, it became heavily involved in reconstruction, particularly financing new collective farms (kolkhozes), industry, and social housing.

The Ministry worked closely with Gosplan UzSSR (State Planning Committee of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic) to implement Five-Year Plans. It oversaw socialist accounting in enterprises and ensured that enterprises met their financial targets within the planned economy. While nominally a republican body, the ministry was subordinate to All-Union Ministry of Finance, and most fiscal decisions required central approval.
