Representatives of the Bank also took part in a panel discussion on the topic "Evolution of retail and commercial banking in Uzbekistan".
The participants of the discussion agreed that the reforms carried out in the republic gave a tangible impetus to the development of the industry and made it possible to provide a wide range of services to individuals, thereby increasing the level of penetration of banking services in the country.
