The Head of state will address the plenary session of the meeting.

The summit is attended by the President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Odile Renaud-Basso, Vice President of the European Commission Valdis Dombrovskis, Chair of the Board of Governors of the EBRD Magnus Brunner, more than 2.5 thousand heads and representatives of foreign governments, leading transnational corporations and industrial holdings, international financial institutions and banks, as well as experts and analysts in the economics, investment, finance, and innovation, civil society activists and journalists from more than 70 countries.

The event is an essential platform for a broad discussion and in-depth analysis of the prospects for the global economy and the development of recommendations to ensure its sustainable development.

The central themes of the forum will be investing in economic sustainability, stimulating international trade, ensuring energy security and introducing renewable energy sources, accelerating digitalization, modernizing financial infrastructure, supporting small and medium-sized businesses, and promoting the green economy program.

On the forum’s sidelines, several meetings of the Head of state with the heads of foreign delegations are planned.

It should be noted that the EBRD takes an active part in promoting the program of socio-economic reforms in Uzbekistan.

For the third year in a row, Uzbekistan has been the leader in the region in terms of investment by this leading financial institution. The Bank’s portfolio of projects now exceeds 3 billion euros, with more than 55 percent investment in the private sector.
