    In order to create favorable conditions for tourists, by the end of 2024, Uzbekistan plans to connect international online payment companies such as PayPal, Alipay, UniPay, Apple Pay and Google Pay to the country's national payment systems and banking services.

    This is stated in the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers "On additional measures for the introduction of new types of tourism and the effective use of the country's tourism potential."

    According to the document, by the end of 2024, the Tourism Committee, the Central Bank and the Ministry of Digital Technologies will jointly negotiate with international online payment companies such as PayPal, Alipay, UniPay, Apple Pay and Google Pay to connect them to payment systems and banking services in Uzbekistan.

    Also, if necessary, proposals can be submitted to the Government to revise the requirements of national legislation for these purposes.
