01:02A recent test was the dual listing of Uzbekistan's National Investment Fund in London and Tashkent
01:08Giving investors access to a fund with stakes in 13 state-owned companies
01:13Five years from now we'll be sitting here looking back and the entire capital market will look completely different
01:21With more foreign institutional investors being active in Uzbekistan
01:26The presidents of Germany and Albania visited Tashkent alongside senior officials from across the region
01:33A U.S.-Uzbekistan business forum drew representatives of 193 American companies
01:39Including Boeing, Visa, JP Morgan and Meta
01:43The government says reforms since 2017 have cut taxes and removed restrictions on currency conversion and transfers of profits abroad
01:52Any investor can come, can invest and get their revenues out of the country within one day
01:57So this is a basic principle
01:59Those reforms coincide with the more connected Central Asia
02:04For years many investors look at Central Asia in short distance
02:09Today many of them see connections
02:11Connections to Europe, connections to United States, connections to Asia
02:15And new opportunities created by trade, energy and transport links across the region
02:20That shift is the reason why so many investors have gathered here in Tashkent
02:27The China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan railway, the middle corridor and the proposed Trans-Afghan route
02:33Aim to connect the landlocked region to global markets and southern seaports
02:38Uzbekistan also expects tourism to benefit
02:54Faster growth and stronger connections are changing international assessments of Central Asia
03:00Central Asia is nowadays one of the most impressive regions in terms of economic growth
03:07And I think it's only a question of times
03:10Then some people will start talking about the Central Asian CAIGOS
03:15Uzbekistan wants to turn that growth into exports and higher value industries
03:20Digital exports offer one measure
03:24Our annual IT export was less than a million dollars
03:28Last year we celebrated our first billion dollars
03:31The country plans to raise the share of green power to 54% of electricity generation
03:37And attract investment in grids, storage, artificial intelligence and data centers
03:42Capital, energy and talent are all equally important towards the eventual success of AI adoption in the country
03:55The Uzbek government estimates the value of its mineral resources at 3 trillion dollars
04:01Turning those reserves into wider economic gains requires more than extraction
04:06Having a lot of resources doesn't mean you're necessarily going to benefit
04:09Countries need to translate that resource wealth into long-term benefits
04:14Domestic investment can also signal confidence to foreign investors
04:18The moment your own population starts to believe that it's safe to actually to invest to expand businesses here
04:28This is the most potent message to the rest of the world
04:34Foreign investors have a formal channel to propose policy changes
04:39The Foreign Investors Council includes 85 companies from 19 countries
04:44The government says 120 recommendations will create a reformed roadmap
04:50With progress reported directly to the President
04:53Thank you
