Key facts for Uzbekistan
New Year, not Christmas, is the year-end business occasion.
How companies in Uzbekistan give year-end gifts
In Uzbekistan, New Year is the main year-end occasion for corporate gifts and staff parties, with decorated trees and Father Frost (Qor Bobo) imagery. Navruz in March is a major spring holiday, and Eid holidays are public holidays. Christmas is not a business occasion. Russian and Uzbek are used in business. Most recipients are Muslim, so sweets, tea and branded items are safer than alcohol. Gifts are given with the right hand or both hands. Gifts are typically delivered to offices before the New Year break, often with a printed card. 8 March is another occasion, with gifts to female colleagues. Allow extra time for courier transit and customs clearance in Tashkent. Russian or Uzbek greetings on the card are appreciated, and branded calendars and desk items suit wider client lists.
