Uzbekistan Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Company register search for 58 Uzbekistan companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Uzbekistan company register data is held in the Unified State Register of Enterprises and Organizations, created under a Cabinet of Ministers resolution and searchable for basic entity details through the my.gov.uz portal. No general one: beneficial-owner disclosure currently appears only in specific contexts, such as microfinance organization registration and public-procurement bidder disclosure, rather than as a standalone requirement for all companies. No unifying beneficial-ownership statute, ownership threshold, or central register could be confirmed from public sources. Ownership beyond the state register's formation-stage data has to be traced case by case rather than pulled from a dedicated UBO filing.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan’s company registration runs through the “Bir darcha” (one-window) system under the Ministry of Justice (banks register with the Central Bank separately), via my.gov.uz or birdarcha.uz, with typical LLC registration taking 3-5 business days; from January 1, 2026, registration is being fast-tracked to a “start a business in 15 minutes” model under a new comprehensive/simplified registration system. Total active enterprises reached 471,700 as of December 1, 2025 (85.1% small enterprises/microfirms), though a separate November 2025 report flagged a decline of 115,000 enterprises over three years — a conflicting figure likely reflecting different definitional cuts (active vs. registered-but-dormant, or legal entities vs. all business forms) that should not be reconciled without pulling Stat.uz’s underlying methodology notes. Beneficial ownership is a disclosure requirement folded into standard company registration at the Ministry of Justice (foreign owners must obtain a personal identification number/PINI; changes must be reported within 30 days) — genuinely distinct from a UK/EU-style centralized, publicly-searchable beneficial-ownership register, which does not appear to exist. Uzbekistan is not on the FATF grey or black list; it is a member of the EAG (Eurasian Group), rated Compliant on 8 and Largely Compliant on 26 of the 40 FATF Recommendations in its 2023 follow-up evaluation, and was moved from enhanced to regular EAG follow-up status that same year.
The Law on Privatization of State Property (approved February 14, 2024, effective May 16, 2024) aligns with the “Uzbekistan – 2030” national strategy of reducing state economic participation; foreigners may participate in privatization but cannot own land even through privatization. The government is increasingly using public capital-market offerings rather than pure trade sales: the $2 billion Uzbekistan National Investment Fund (UzNIF), with Franklin Templeton as asset manager since February 2025, completed the first-ever dual London Stock Exchange/Tashkent Stock Exchange listing by an Uzbek entity on May 18, 2026. Three large state banks’ privatization (including Asakabank, with an EBRD advisory agreement signed May 2024) has been repeatedly postponed, and completion dates should be treated as provisional. As of April 2024, Uzbekistan had 20 special economic zones with 771 resident enterprises across five zone types, with large foreign investments (over $100 million) offered full tax/duty exemption until 2040. 2024 FDI reached US$11.9 billion (+50%+ YoY, Q4 2024 alone $3.87bn, the highest quarterly figure since 2021), concentrated from China (over 65% of total FDI stock), South Korea, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Turkey in energy, metallurgy, and chemicals — no dated entity/project-count figure was found alongside these monetary totals.
Real GDP grew 7.7% in 2025 (IMF), accelerating to 8.7% year-on-year in Q1 2026, with IMF forecasting approximately 6.8% for 2026; inflation fell to 7.3% by end-2025 (from 9.8% a year earlier), with the Central Bank holding its policy rate at 14% since March 2025; Uzbekistan’s IMF engagement is limited to Article IV surveillance consultations, with no active lending arrangement identified. Total exports reached $33.4 billion in 2025 (+23% YoY), led by gold (approximately $8.2 billion), with gold and FX reserves growing 46% to $60 billion; Uzbekistan’s traditional profile as a natural-gas exporter has become more complicated, with domestic gas production declining even as the country remains a net importer in value terms alongside continued exports to China — a genuinely new structural shift. Population reached 38.24 million as of January 1, 2026, Central Asia’s most populous country by a wide margin, with unemployment at 4.9% in Q3 2025. Labor migration to Russia, historically the dominant destination, is now visibly declining rather than static: over 1.35 million Uzbekistanis worked abroad as of early 2025 (down 34% year-on-year), with Russia’s share of that pool falling to 57% amid declining Russian wages and safety concerns; remittances nonetheless grew 30% to $14.9 billion in 2024, with the World Bank estimating they roughly halve Uzbekistan’s poverty rate (9.6% actual versus an estimated 16.8% without remittances).

Enterprises by size category
From Stat.uz data as of December 1, 2025: 401,500 of 471,700 total enterprises and organizations (85.1%) are classified small enterprises/microfirms; the 14.9% “Large enterprises” row is the mathematical complement, since no separately-sourced large-enterprise count was located. A genuine caveat: enterprise-count figures have been inconsistent across releases — a November 2025 report flagged a decline of 115,000 enterprises over three years, in apparent tension with other Stat.uz snapshots showing steady growth to 471,700 by December 2025; this likely reflects differing definitions (active vs. registered-but-dormant, or legal entities vs. all business forms including individual entrepreneurs and dehkan/household farms) rather than a genuine contradiction, and should not be reconciled without the underlying Stat.uz methodology notes.

Who uses Uzbekistan ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Uzbekistan counterparty means confirming the beneficial owner behind the entity and evidencing where that answer came from, not just pulling the registered name.
AML and sanctions screening
Sanctions exposure often sits above the operating company, in a holding layer registered elsewhere. Screening the local entity alone will not surface it; screening the resolved ownership chain will.
Supplier and credit risk
Filed accounts cover a limited share of the register in most jurisdictions, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
