The Constitutional Law establishing the Tashkent International Financial Centre (TIFC) was adopted on 10 July 2026, marking a new stage in the development of the country’s investment and financial infrastructure.
The TIFC aims to create clear and predictable conditions for international business, ensure that modern legal mechanisms are applied and make Uzbekistan more attractive to foreign investors.

The new jurisdiction provides for:
- the application of English common law principles;
- an independent international commercial court;
- a separate financial regulator;
- free movement of capital;
- special tax and customs arrangements;
- protection of investments and property rights.
Who the TIFC is for
- banks and financial institutions;
- investment funds;
- asset management companies;
- holding structures and special purpose vehicles (SPVs);
- fintech and digital companies;
- foreign investors and international businesses.
The TIFC is intended to become a new hub for structuring international transactions and investments.
