On 18–19 June, Kazakhstan hosted the 22nd Cbonds Eurasian Capital Markets Forum, bringing together representatives of leading stock exchanges, regulators, investment banks, and financial institutions from across the Eurasian region.

The forum served as an important international platform for discussing capital market infrastructure, investment opportunities, and the latest trends shaping financial markets.

As part of the panel session “Local Capital Markets: The Perspective of Issuers and Placement Organizers,” Artem Tyan, Head of the External Relations Department at the Republican Stock Exchange “Toshkent”, presented the ongoing reforms aimed at modernizing Uzbekistan’s capital market infrastructure, as well as the country’s strategic priorities for its further development.

“We have a clear understanding of the needs of both investors and issuers. Our goal is not only to respond to their expectations but, in certain areas, to anticipate them, thereby ensuring the sustainable development of the capital market. To achieve this, the Exchange is consistently implementing a number of strategic initiatives, including the introduction of a modern trading platform, the development of a new stock market index that more accurately reflects current market conditions, and the launch of a new official website.

Today, Uzbekistan’s capital market is entering a new stage of development. Market liquidity continues to improve, international investor interest is growing, and the opportunities being created for the introduction of foreign financial instruments and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) will further enhance the attractiveness of our market.”

The presentation attracted considerable interest from forum participants. International experts and market professionals paid particular attention to Uzbekistan’s ongoing capital market infrastructure reforms, the steady increase in market liquidity, and initiatives aimed at introducing new financial instruments.

The outcomes of the forum once again confirmed that Uzbekistan’s capital market is increasingly recognized by the international professional community as one of the most promising and fastest-growing markets in the region.
