The National Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan for Foreign Economic Activity was established under the Decree of the first President of Uzbekistan, I. Karimov in September 1991.
The mission of the Bank states the tasks of creating a financial institution capable of servicing foreign trade operations of domestic companies at the level of international standards, helping to increase the country's export potential, attracting foreign investments and advanced technologies to the Uzbek economy. In fact, today the NBU is a "visiting card" of the country's banking system in international financial markets.
