Development of financial market is an important factor in further liberalization of the economy and creation of favorable conditions for entrepreneurship.

In this regard, large-scale reforms have been implemented in the country. In particular, the Decree of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev “On priority measures for liberalizing monetary policy” of September 2, 2017 contributed to fundamental reforming the current system of currency regulation, liberalization of monetary policy, and creation of equal conditions for all business entities in foreign trade.

Implementation of measures envisaged by the decree contributes to improvement of business environment, increasing the investment potential of the country, due to which the activity of economic sectors will further intensify.
