Uzbekistan, UK Forge Closer Financial Ties in Landmark Investment Talks

Uzbek Minister of Investments, Industry and Trade, Laziz Kudratov, has concluded a high-profile visit to the UK during which he held a series of strategic meetings with leading British financial institutions aimed at deepening bilateral economic ties.

During the discussions, Kudratov and his counterparts explored cooperation across sectors including infrastructure, industrial development, and export financing, The Caspian Post informs via Uzbek media.

A strong focus was placed on attracting foreign investment into energy projects-especially those aligned with green and sustainable goals-and on enhancing access to international financial markets through the issuance and circulation of financial instruments. Public-private partnerships and improving Uzbekistan’s investment climate also featured prominently on the agenda.

In separate talks, Kudratov met with representatives from the UK’s investment banking firms, major financial groups, private equity funds, and international export credit agencies. Conversations centered on financial integration, new trade financing mechanisms, and opportunities for collaborative projects between the two countries.

The visit culminated in Uzbekistan’s participation in the investment roadshow “New Uzbekistan: A Big Country with Great Opportunities,” where the nation’s economic reforms, achievements, and strategic priorities were highlighted to an international audience of investors.
