Catalyzing Growth in Central Asia

Dynamic group of business leaders is shaping the economic transformation of Uzbekistan and making the country a promising player in Central Asia. In recent years, the government has been committed to economic reform and these leaders have been able to contribute in so many sectors from finance, technology, energy, agriculture and real estate. They are not only sparking economic growth, but bringing Uzbekistan towards a sustainable, international future. In the world of banking, innovative leaders are making banking easy, promoting digital transformation to build financial inclusion, and increasing transparency across banking services. It is important because Uzbekistan is moving towards modernization in order to attract local and international investors.

Meanwhile the Uzbekistan technology sector has grown in entrepreneurial activity. Fintech is a key player in the drive for a stronger digital infrastructure, backed by visionary business figures. The innovations are making it easier to access digital financial services by the population, thereby increasing the likelihood of Uzbekistan becoming a digital first economy. Pivotal leadership in sustainable energy solutions in Uzbekistan have been seen in the energy sector. Modernizing traditional energy facilities is also a project industry leaders are championing, along with projects that turn to renewable energy sources – solar or wind, for instance. In addition to responding to growing domestic energy needs, these efforts are also meant to be environmentally responsible. In real estate and construction, strategic leaders are investing into infrastructure projects that are part of an urbanization agenda such as commercial and residential developments that assist in improving urban living standards.

It is with the view of staying updated with the emerging trends in the region’s business landscape that Asia Business Outlook has come up with a special issue containing stories of leaders who have demonstrated their capability through their expertise.
