The Central Bank of Uzbekistan (CBU) held another roundtable discussion with risk management specialists from commercial banks on the state of financial stability in Uzbekistan.
The roundtable featured a presentation by the CBU covering vulnerabilities in the financial system, macro-financial conditions, the state of the asset markets, and an analysis of both the financial and non-financial sectors. It also addressed systemic risks that could impact financial stability. Key topics included household debt burden, developments in the microdebt market, and interest rate formation in Uzbekistan.
A major focus of the discussion was the results of macro stress tests on solvency and liquidity, conducted under both baseline and adverse scenarios, aimed at assessing the resilience of banks to potential shocks.
Participants also exchanged views on the CBU’s macroprudential policy measures to safeguard financial stability.
Additionally, the discussion addressed emerging vulnerabilities in specific areas and practical steps to mitigate them. In this context, commercial banks received relevant recommendations to enhance their analysis of the risks identified by the CBU and to consider appropriate preventive measures.
