Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- A seminar on development of capital markets of Uzbekistan was held in Tashkent on 26 June on the joint initiative of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group and the Central Bank of Uzbekistan.

The event provided an opportunity to overview of the development of international capital markets and the experience of other countries, discussed prospects and development of capital markets in Uzbekistan, as well as various instruments, including secured bonds and access to the international clearing system.
In addition, attention was paid to the development of a regulatory and legal framework for ensuring the functioning of capital markets, reducing risks and increasing the investment potential of the national stock market.
