Overview of Banking System The Uzbek banking sector appeared to arrive in 1990 after independence of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Now it consists of two levels, one is the Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Central Bank) wielding control over a range of commercial banks and the second consists of commercial banks. The Central Bank is in charge of establishing national monetary policy, issuing currency, and operating of national payment system. Currently the second level of banking system consists of 29 commercial banks, including 3 state-owned banks. Although these three banks are state their main goal is profit and government participate at banks capital as shareholder. Two of them (National Bank for Foreign Economic Activity of Uzbekistan and State Joint- stock Commercial Asaka Bank) own about 70% of total Uzbek banks assets and both of them to be privatized during 2006-2010 years. Nowadays banking system of Uzbekistan is progressively changing. There were 32 commercial banks at the end of 2004. Currently their number has decreased to 29 due to the merger of “Zamin Bank” with “UzUyJoyJamgarmaBank” and “Kapital bank” with “AviaBank” and closure of “Business Bank”.

  • Olympic Culture in Soviet Uzbekistan 1951-1991: International Prestige and Local Heroes
    Olympic Culture in Soviet Uzbekistan 1951-1991: International Prestige and Local Heroes Sevket Akyildiz Introduction Uzbekistan was officially established in 1924 by the victorious Bolsheviks as part of a larger union-wide „Soviet people‟ building project. To legitimate and consolidate Moscow‟s rule the southern, largely Muslim, Asian territories (including Uzbekistan) were reorganized under the national delimitation processes of the 1920s and 1930s. Establishing the Soviet republics from the territory formerly known as Turkestan was based upon language, economics, history, culture and ethnicity. Soviet identity building was a dual process fostering state-civic institutions and identity and local national (ethnic) republic identity and interests. The creation of the national republics was part of the Soviet policy of multiculturalism best described a mixed-salad model (and is similar to the British multicultural society model). (Soviet ethnographers termed ethnicity as nationality.) Uzbekistan is situated within Central Asia, a region that the Russians term “Middle Asia and Kazakhstan” – some Western authors also term it “Inner Asia”. Uzbekistan stretches south-east from the Aral Sea towards the Pamir Mountains, and shares borders with Afghanistan (137km), Kazakhstan (2,203km), Kyrgyzstan (1,099km), Tajikistan (1,161km), and Turkmenistan (1,161km). The climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. The Uzbeks are a Turkic-speaking people largely Turkic (and Mongol) by descent - and predominately Sunni (Hanafi) Muslim by religious practice. Between 1917 and 1985 the population of Uzbekistan rose from approximately 5 million to 18 million people. However, Uzbekistan was a Soviet multicultural society, and during the Soviet period it contained more than 1.5 million Russian settlers and also included Karakalpaks, Kazakhs, Tajik, Tatars, and several of Stalin‟s deported peoples.
