The Ministry of Economy and Finance of Uzbekistan has updated its register of organizations of public interest (PIE), adding 24 companies. Thus, the total number of registered organizations has increased from 425 to 449.
Most of the new entries, namely 19 companies, were added as financial organizations. Among them are microfinance organizations Olmos Finance, Oson Moliya, Prime Sarmoya, Prestige Moliya, Intellect Capital (Amal), Yuusuf Invest Baraka, Prime Open Capital, Kamkam Invest, Qulay Moliya, Daqin Finance, Mezon Business, and Tekis Credit, as well as the factoring company Hayot Faktoring.
This group also includes Digital Pay, Paypoint, Whirl, Zaytun Tech, Taqsim Neo, and the Center for Digitalization of the Agro-Industrial Complex (Agrosanoatni Raqamlashtirish Markazi).
Three other companies—insurance firms Kafolat Sug’urta Kompaniyasi and Asia Insurance, as well as Transgazmaxsusqurilish—were included in the register because their securities are traded on the stock exchange. Additionally, Angren Shakar and Havas Food were added as large enterprises.
As a result of monitoring, the ministry found that 17 companies already listed in the register no longer meet the established criteria. According to the current regulation, such organizations remain on the list for another two years, which helps ensure the continuity of requirements for financial reporting, auditing, and corporate governance.
According to the ministry, the register includes 245 banks and payment organizations, 134 large enterprises, 102 organizations with securities on the exchange, 44 organizations where the state owns more than 50% of the shares, as well as 14 investment funds and exchanges. It should be noted that one company may meet several criteria simultaneously, so the total number of categories exceeds the total number of organizations.
The financial sector category covers commercial and microfinance banks, microfinance and factoring organizations, mortgage refinancing institutions, guarantee providers, payment system operators, and payment organizations.
Large enterprises are defined as companies whose assets and annual revenue have reached at least 1 million basic calculation units (440 billion soms) over any two consecutive calendar years and which employ at least 500 people.
The PIE status is granted to organizations whose activities are of significant importance to society and the economy. These organizations are obliged to comply with special requirements for financial reporting, auditing, and corporate governance.
Starting from January 1, 2027, companies added to the register in 2026 must keep accounts in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). By the end of 2028, they are required to prepare financial statements according to these standards and publish them along with an audit report. These requirements do not apply to organizations for which legislation establishes an earlier transition period.
Initially, the register of organizations of public interest was published in June 2026 and contained 425 companies, including banks, microfinance and factoring organizations, payment services, exchange companies, state enterprises, and large private businesses. The PIE status was introduced by decree of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in September 2025. At the end of December, the government approved the criteria for classifying organizations in this category and the requirements for their reporting.
