TBC Uzbekistan Returns to Tashkent Investment Forum as Growth Story Builds

TBC Uzbekistan, Central Asia's leading digital financial ecosystem and part of London-listed TBC Bank Group, returned as a partner of the Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF), held from 16 to 18 June in Tashkent.

A longstanding investor in Uzbekistan and one of the country's stand-out technology success stories, TBC played an active role across the forum, Uzbekistan's flagship international economic event, contributing to discussions on digital transformation, financial innovation, artificial intelligence and the future of financial services in the region, while pressing the case for attracting international investment into the country.

Vakhtang Butskhrikidze, CEO of TBC Bank Group, joined an invitation-only business breakfast hosted by the Foreign Investors Council and EY to discuss the use of AI as a tool to drive productivity in Uzbekistan and the steps the country must take to stay competitive.

The following day, Oliver Hughes, Chairman of TBC Uzbekistan, appeared in a fireside chat titled "Growing at Scale: TBC Uzbekistan's Next Chapter," drawing on the group's experience to date and setting out its plans for Central Asia's leading digital financial ecosystem.

TBC's continued prominence at the forum underlines how a London-listed banking group has become a reference point for digital finance in a fast-developing Central Asian market.
