Uzbekistan-EIB agreement comes into force
Trend:
The agreement between Uzbekistan and the European Investment Bank (EIB) on its activities in Uzbekistan has entered into force, the Uzbek Foreign Ministry said in a message.
In October 2017, the EIB and Uzbekistan signed a framework agreement in Washington that defines the legal framework for the bank's activities in the country. The bank will officially be able to support public and private sector projects in such areas as infrastructure, energy and energy efficiency, and small business development.
