CPF Objective 1.2: Strengthened private sector access to finance. 

Intervention Logic: While evidence based analytic data on the private sector in Uzbekistan are limited, sources 

such as Enterprise Surveys and private sector consultations undertaken as part of CPF preparation highlight the 

challenges of limited access to finance facing firms. WBG activities under this objective will focus both on increasing 

the skills and knowledge of SMEs while also addressing access to finance constraints through a combination of 

advisory services to financial institutions and as well as investments. New operations under this objective will seek 

to further address SME access to finance on the basis of a demand for financing TA.
