Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Economy and Finance has updated its register of public interest entities (PIEs), adding 24 companies and increasing the total number of entities from 425 to 449, the ministry said.
Most of the new entries — 19 companies — were added as financial organizations. They include 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 factoring company Hayot Faktoring.
The 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, and Transgazmaxsusqurilish — were added because their securities are listed on a stock exchange. Angren Shakar and Havas Food were included as large enterprises.
Following its monitoring, the ministry also found that 17 companies already on the register no longer meet the established criteria. Under the relevant regulation, such organizations remain on the list for another two years.
This provision helps ensure continuity in financial reporting, auditing and corporate governance requirements.
According to the ministry, the register contains 245 banks and payment organizations, 134 large enterprises, 102 organizations whose securities are listed on a stock exchange, 44 organizations in which the state holds a stake of more than 50%, and 14 investment funds and exchanges.
One company may meet several criteria simultaneously, which is why the category totals exceed the overall number of entities.
The financial sector category includes 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 each reached at least 1 million basic calculation units (440 billion soums) in each of the last two consecutive calendar years, and which employ at least 500 people.
PIE status is granted to organizations whose activities are of significant importance to society and the economy. They are subject to specific requirements for financial reporting, auditing and corporate governance.
From 1 January 2027, companies added to the register in 2026 must maintain their accounting records in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). By the end of 2028, they must prepare financial statements under these standards and publish them together with an audit opinion.
The requirements do not apply to organizations for which legislation sets an earlier transition deadline.
The register of public interest entities was first published in June 2026, with 425 companies, including banks, microfinance and factoring organizations, payment services, stock exchange companies, state-owned enterprises and large private businesses.
PIE status was introduced by a September 2025 decree of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
At the end of December, the government approved the criteria for classifying organizations in this category and the requirements for their reporting.
