The new framework introduces the legal basis for Islamic banking activities, investment accounts and Shariah-compliant transactions.
Uzbekistan has adopted legislation establishing a legal framework for Islamic banking and finance. It introduces concepts covering Islamic banking activity, investment accounts and commonly used Shariah-compliant structures.
The framework is significant because product demand alone is not sufficient. Credible governance, documentation, tax treatment, risk allocation and consistent supervisory practice are required before the market can scale.
Banks and investors will now focus on the implementing rules, institutional readiness and the structures most suitable for Uzbekistan’s funding and savings market.
