Following the talks, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the RSE “Toshkent” and NASDAQ.
At the main and oldest stock exchange of the United States - the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the delegation of Uzbekistan took part in the official opening ceremony of exchange trading, witnessing the bell ringing the start of the exchange.
A meeting was also held with the Vice-Chairman and Chief Commercial Officer of the New York Stock Exchange John Tuttle.
The main subject of the talks was cooperation on Uzbekistan’s capital market development and discussing the prospects for the withdrawal of state-owned and privatized enterprises in the country from among the most profitable and large corporations to the US stock market.
Representatives of the NYSE expressed their willingness to take an active part in the transformation of the Uzbek stock market by attracting resources, technology and management of the New York Stock Exchange, as well as to facilitate the entry of shares of Uzbek companies to American stock markets.
