https://journal.bfa.uz/index.php/bfaj/article/view/336
<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> The prospects for developing the green bonds and sukuk market in Uzbekistan are closely linked to ensuring sustainable economic growth and addressing environmental challenges. Green bonds channel investments into projects focused on renewable energy, energy efficiency, and environmental protection, while sukuk, based on Islamic finance principles, provides access to alternative sources of capital. Interest in these instruments is increasing in the country, supported by government initiatives, the strengthening of the regulatory framework, and cooperation with international financial institutions. To foster market development, it is essential to enhance investor confidence, ensure transparency, and expand the role of rating agencies. International experience demonstrates that green bonds and sukuk contribute to financial system diversification, support environmental projects, and expand access to global capital markets, making this sector highly promising for Uzbekistan.</p> <p> </p>Gulmira Axmadjonova, Sherzod Khannaev

https://journal.bfa.uz/index.php/bfaj/article/view/358
<p>This study provides the first empirical investigation into the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and bank credit risk in the Central Asian region. Utilizing a unique, hand-collected panel dataset of 32 commercial banks from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan from 2015 to 2024, we examine how ESG scores influence non-performing loan (NPL) ratios. Employing both fixed-effects and System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) models to control for endogeneity and unobserved heterogeneity, our results reveal a significant negative association between aggregate ESG performance and NPL ratios. A granular analysis of the ESG pillars demonstrates that this effect is primarily driven by robust Governance, with a secondary significant contribution from Social performance. The Environmental pillar, however, shows an insignificant relationship, suggesting its channel to credit risk is less direct in the region’s current economic structure. These findings underscore that ESG adherence, particularly strong governance and social practices, constitutes a material risk mitigation tool rather than a mere symbolic gesture. The study offers critical insights for bank managers, regulators, and international institutions, advocating for the integration of ESG factors, especially governance, into the core of prudential risk management frameworks to enhance financial stability in emerging markets.</p>Shoxruxbek Qudratov

https://journal.bfa.uz/index.php/bfaj/article/view/341
<p>Mazkur maqolada tijorat banklari faoliyatiga Ekologik, Ijtimoiy va<br>Korporativ boshqaruv (ESG) tamoyillarini joriy etish jarayoni ularning<br>nafaqat moliyaviy foyda olishida, balki uzoq muddatli barqarorligini<br>ta’minlashda ham muhim omilga aylanmoqda. Ushbu tadqiqot ESG<br>tamoyillarining tijorat banklari moliyaviy barqarorligini<br>mustahkamlashdagi o‘rnini tahlil qiladi. Ikkinchi darajali tadqiqot usuli<br>asosida ilmiy maqolalar, xalqaro hisobotlar va bank amaliyoti tajribalari<br>o‘rganilib, rivojlangan hamda rivojlanayotgan mamlakatlar, jumladan,<br>O‘zbekiston misolida ESGning amaliy ahamiyati tahlil qilindi. Tadqiqot<br>natijalari ko‘rsatishicha, yashil kreditlash, moliyaviy inklyuziya va<br>samarali korporativ boshqaruv tashabbuslari banklarning nafaqat<br>rentabelligini, balki xalqaro obro‘-e’tiborini ham oshiradi. Shu bilan birga,<br>me’yoriy-huquqiy bo‘shliqlar, ESG mezonlaridagi nomutanosiblik va<br>“greenwashing” muammolari jiddiy to‘siqlar bo‘lib qolmoqda. Maqolada<br>O‘zbekiston tijorat banklari uchun ESG tamoyillarini amaliyotga chuqur<br>tatbiq etish bo‘yicha strategik tavsiyalar ilgari surilgan.</p>Farrux Esanov

https://journal.bfa.uz/index.php/bfaj/article/view/337
<p>The article explores the role and significance of payment organizations in the development of the fintech ecosystem of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Based on the regulatory and legal framework (Law No. ZRU-578 “On Payments and Payment Systems” and related acts), official statistics of the Central Bank, analytics of international organizations (World Bank, IMF, UNDP), and market data on national payment infrastructures (UZCARD, HUMO) and fintech providers (Click, Payme, Payme Plus, TBC UZ), it is shown that payment organizations act as a systemic driver of cashless transactions, P2P transfers, and POS acquiring, develop super-app models, and accelerate financial inclusion. The positive and negative aspects of accelerated growth are analyzed, including issues of infrastructure competition, information security, sustainability of business models, and regulatory oversight. Priorities for further development are proposed: open banking architecture (Open API), risk-based regulation, interoperability, and the development of cross-border payment corridors.</p>Aziz Sadikov

https://journal.bfa.uz/index.php/bfaj/article/view/359
<p>The article examines the current state of project management maturity in the banking sector of Uzbekistan amid accelerating digital transformation.<br>An overview of international maturity models (PMMM, OPM3, P3M3, CMMI) is provided. The empirical section is based on surveys and expert interviews with heads of PMOs and IT departments of banks, as well as an analysis of project documentation. The results indicate an average maturity level of 2.6 out of 5, characterized by a predominance of process formalization and a lack of integration between project management, corporate strategy, and digital analytics. Practical recommendations are formulated: institutionalization of PMOs, standardization of methodologies based on PMBOK 6 and Agile, implementation of PPM systems, and development of competencies. A roadmap is proposed to increase maturity levels to 3–4 within a 3–5 year horizon.</p>Шерзод Мирзаев
