Uzbekistan plans to launch a special platform that will allow citizens to legally invest in shares of foreign companies. The initiative was presented at the National Agency for Perspective Projects, noting that private investors currently do not have direct access to foreign securities.
According to representatives of the regulator, the existing forex and trading services do not provide real shareholder rights — users do not receive dividends and cannot participate in company management. As a result, many invest through unregulated platforms, transferring funds abroad and remaining without proper protection.
The new platform is intended to change the situation: it will ensure transparent investment conditions, protection of users' rights, and the opportunity to earn income within the framework of the law. The authorities also expect to reduce capital outflow — according to estimates, about $180 million has already been withdrawn through questionable services.
