Linguistic Analysis of the Address of the President of Uzbekistan at the 3rd International Forum on Poverty Reduction

The Center for Economic Research and Reforms (CERR) has prepared a linguistic analysis of the Address delivered by the President of Uzbekistan at the opening of the 3rd International Forum “From Poverty to Prosperity.”

The analysis (from the original language) showed that the Head of State used a total of 1,907 words in his speech. The most frequently repeated were: “poverty” – 28 times; “population” and “new” – 17 times each; “income” – 15 times; “social,” “conditions,” and “family” – 14 times each; “international” – 12 times; “person” – 11 times; “state” and “services” – 10 times each; “girls” – 9 times; as well as “bank,” “organization,” and “mahalla” – 8 times each (see Fig. 1).

Analysis of word and phrase repetition

Special emphasis in the President’s speech was placed on systemic concepts that define the direction of reforms. The frequent use of the phrase “poverty reduction” (10 times) highlights the consolidation of this task as central to state policy. Repetition of expressions such as “low-income family” (7 times) and “women” (6 times) draws attention to vulnerable groups and the priority of their inclusion in socio-economic development. References to “financial institutions” and “social services” (4 times each) reflect the integration of the national agenda into the international context and reliance on global partnerships. The expressions “New Uzbekistan” and “international finance” (3 times each) build a link between domestic identity and external support for reforms.

Within three-word expressions, constructions that set timeframes and strategic focus dominate. The phrase “this year” (5 times) underscores the linkage of reforms to concrete results within the current period. The expression “Sustainable Development Goals” (4 times) ties national priorities to the global agenda, embedding reforms into the international framework.

Phrases such as “United Nations,” “international financial institutions,” and “in the field of poverty reduction” (3 times each) highlight the institutional framework—from the global level to the specific task of poverty alleviation. Mentions of “every family,” “guaranteed medical services,” and “to the level of state policy” (2 times each) reflect the targeted nature of measures and the consolidation of social policy at the highest state level.

Analysis of thematic distribution

The distribution of words by thematic areas shows that the President emphasized: the national experience in poverty reduction (18%), social protection and healthcare (14%), as well as stimulating economic growth and entrepreneurship (14%). A significant focus was also placed on global partnerships and the importance of the forum itself (13%), underscoring the integration of national initiatives into the international agenda.

At the same time, particular attention was devoted to women’s empowerment (10%) and the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals (9%), reflecting the strategic understanding of the interconnection between gender inclusion and long-term global benchmarks. The themes of education and human capital accounted for 8%, while regional infrastructure development made up 7%.

The concluding emphasis was on the fundamental principle of “Inson qadri” (“human dignity”), which the President described as the foundation of all reforms in New Uzbekistan. He underlined that all reforms in New Uzbekistan are based on the policy of “Inson qadri,” which has become one of the key goals and guiding principles of the country’s new Development Strategy.
