According to the document, with the assistance of international financial institutions, phased privatization of the state’s stake in JSIB Ipoteka Bank, JSCB Uzsanoatqurilishbank, JSCB Asaka Bank, JSC Aloqabank, JSC Qishloq Qurilish Bank and JSCB Turonbank will be implemented, providing for their institutional transformation (transformation of activities) at the first stage, and privatization of the state’s block of shares – at the second.
At the same time, the state’s share in the authorized capital of JSC National Bank for Foreign Economic Affairs, JSCB Agrobank and JSCB Mikrokreditbank remains in order to meet the needs of the population in financial services, the widespread introduction of a mechanism to support investment projects (the “factory of projects”), and ensure regional accessibility to banking services during the reform of the banking system.
