Financial literacy in Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan started implement financial education initiatives in recent years. In 2020, Uzbekistan launched the process of the development of National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) as a multi-stakeholder effort led by the Central Bank of Uzbekistan (CBU) with technical assistance from the World Bank Group (WBG). Financial education is one of the pillars of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy. A range of stakeholders from public sector, including the Ministry of education and science, the private sector, civil society and NGOs are involved in the work. A roadmap on developing and implementing financial education initiatives in Uzbekistan will be developed and approved under the financial education pillar of NFIS. Uzbekistan participated in the data gathering survey run by the OECD in 2021 and the results of this second data gathering can be found here. Uzbekistan's participation in the project
