Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbekistan’s Competition Committee has recognised WB Taxi LLC as a digital platform operator holding a dominant position in the market for taxi aggregation services, the committee’s press service said.

The decision was adopted under an order issued by the Competition Committee. It applies to the market for intermediary services involving the placement of passenger transport orders and the provision of taxi services.

Following the designation, WB Taxi will be required to introduce an antitrust compliance system.

The system is предусмотрена by competition legislation and is intended to help prevent the abuse of a dominant market position.

The committee also said it would monitor the digital platform operator’s activities.
