Within the framework of the 5th Tashkent International Investment Forum, the State Assets Management Agency of the Republic of Uzbekistan carried out extensive efforts aimed at promoting the country’s privatization program at the international level, expanding the pool of strategic investors, and strengthening cooperation with international financial institutions.

In particular, more than 15 high-level bilateral meetings were organized with leading investment banks, financial and consulting firms, major industrial groups, and strategic investors from the United States, China, Europe, the Gulf countries, and several other nations.

Negotiations were held with representatives of such reputable organizations and companies as the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), Rothschild & Co, Morgan Stanley, Gibson Dunn, ACWA Power, Coca-Cola İçecek, Orica, XCMG, CNH Industrial, McKim and Company, Alvarez & Marsal, and others.

During the meetings, discussions focused on expanding the participation of international strategic investors in Uzbekistan’s ongoing and upcoming privatization programs, actively promoting state-owned assets in international capital markets, and enhancing marketing mechanisms and targeted investor engagement efforts.

As a result of the negotiations, priority areas of cooperation were identified, including the increased involvement of major international financial institutions and strategic investors in privatization processes, the development of investment partnerships for prospective transactions, and the transformation of state-owned assets to facilitate their efficient transfer to the private sector.

In addition, agreements were reached on the broad promotion of Uzbekistan’s privatization program within the international investment community, the establishment of a systematic and targeted approach to engaging potential investors, and the development of new strategic partnerships.

These meetings are expected to contribute to increasing the inflow of foreign direct investment into the country, ensuring the transparency and competitiveness of privatization processes, and supporting the consistent implementation of reforms aimed at the effective management of state assets based on market principles.
