Tashkent’s railway station: Policies appear to be on the right track
The economic reforms of Uzbek president Shavkat Mirziyoyev received another vote of confidence in September with the launch of a US-based investment firm focused on the country’s financial services sector.
Mirziyoyev has been opening up Uzbekistan’s economy since taking over the presidency in September 2016 after the death of his isolationist predecessor, Islam Karimov.
Key moves have included the lifting of draconian restrictions on foreign exchange and a rebuilding of relations with the international community, notably with the multilateral development banks.
