TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, May 5. Uzbekistan has
proposed a set of measures aimed at further expanding and
streamlining cashless payment systems, Trend reports via the press service of the
Uzbek President.
The initiatives were reviewed during a meeting chaired by
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, focusing on digitalization and the
development of financial services.
Key proposals include the introduction of fee-free transfers
