According to data published by the Central Bank of Uzbekistan, the weighted average interest rate for microloans issued by commercial banks in Uzbekistan was 28.2%. Meanwhile, average rates for car loans reached 21.5%, and for mortgage loans—21.8%.

This data is current as of September 28, 2026, and reflects lending rates recorded over the previous ten working days. The largest spread in rates was observed specifically in the microloan market, which provides unsecured loans to individuals to meet consumer needs.

The lowest average microloan rates were offered by Microcreditbank (21.8%), Infinbank (24%), Asia Alliance Bank (24.2%), and Trustbank (24.5%).

The Central Bank noted that banks offer microloans under preferential conditions through digital platforms and partnership programs, including products for entrepreneurs, salary advances for borrowers, and loans that take into account the client's credit history. Consequently, average rates may differ from those applied to standard bank products.

Their offers were followed by Ipoteka Bank (20%), Apex Bank (20.2%), and National Bank (20.4%). The maximum rates were recorded at Davr Bank and Asia Alliance Bank, at 25.2%, followed by Agrobank (24.7%) and Halk Bank (24%).

The regulator also explained that average car loan rates may differ from current bank offers because, within agreements with car manufacturers, banks provide loans at reduced rates depending on the size of the down payment.

For mortgage loans, the lowest rates were offered by National Bank and Business Development Bank, both at 20.8%. Next were Uzpromstroybank (SQB) with a rate of 21%, Orient Finans Bank (21.1%), and Asakabank (21.2%).

Regarding business loans, the final interest rate is determined individually for each client, taking into account the project implementation period, collateral liquidity, the bank's credit policy, and market conditions. Overall, the average interest rate for individual loans, excluding microloans and credit cards, and for corporate loans was 23%.
