PART I. FINANCIAL INCLUSION OF MICRO, SMALL, AND MEDIUM SIZE
ENTERPRISES
Financial sector in Uzbekistan is dominated by commercial banks. The Central Bank
of Uzbekistan (CBU) regulates the activity of commercial banks, leasing companies,
and microcredit institutions with the main mandate of ensuring the stability in price
levels, banking sector, and payment systems. The number of commercial banks in
the country is 30 which is relatively small in relation to the size of the population and
the economy. The other types of financial intermediaries include non-deposit taking
microcredit institutions, insurance companies, and leasing companies which are
directly connected with banks (subsidiaries of banks) (EBRD, 2018), as well as the
stock market which is not well developed.
