BUSINESSSep 18Uzbekistan to Outsource Management of $72 Billion Foreign ReservesUzbekistan's Central Bank is planning a structural shift in how it handles the country's wealth. As of September 1, 2026, foreign exchange reserves reached $72 billion, and the regulator now intends to move these assets toward external management. From Custody to Yield The current model of reserve accumulation is transitioning. While the $72 billion balance was built through foreign currency sales and economic growth, the Central Bank aims to move beyond mere stockpiling. The goal is to shift from a passive holding strategy to an active investment approach. Starting September 1, 2026, specialized funds will take over the management of these assets. These funds will deploy capital into diversified financial instruments to generate returns, effectively turning the reserve fund into an active investment portfolio.pravda_ru · russia

POLITICSSep 14India and Uzbekistan elevate relations to comprehensive strategic partnershipIndia and Uzbekistan have elevated their bilateral relations to a "comprehensive strategic partnership" following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Tashkent. The two nations set a trade target of $5 billion by 2030, with a specific focus on diversifying uranium supplies for India's nuclear energy sector. Uzbekistan, possessing some of the world's largest uranium reserves, serves as a critical link in New Delhi's energy security strategy as India seeks to reduce reliance on a limited pool of fuel suppliers. In addition to raw material imports, India is advancing domestic nuclear technologies. This includes the development of thorium-based reactors and small modular reactors (SMR) under the Bharat Small Reactors (BSR) program. SMRs offer easier scaling and deployment compared to traditional large-scale power units. To facilitate international cooperation and maintain safety standards, India is utilizing the SHANTI law passed in 2023, which streamlines the integration of foreign resources and technologies into the national system. New Delhi is shifting toward nuclear generation to stabilize its power grid. Unlike solar and wind energy, nuclear power plants provide a consistent base load of electricity independent of weather conditions.pravda_ru · russia
