    Humo, Uzbekistan's payment system, to go public

    Humo, Uzbekistan's payment system, to go public

    In a move towards fostering competition in Uzbekistan's financial landscape, the Humo payment system is set to go public, following its transition into a joint-stock company . This decision marks a departure from its previous status as state-owned, as announced by Akmalkhon Ortikov, Director of the State Assets Management Agency (SAMA).

    The journey towards privatization commenced when the state's share in Humo, previously held by the Central Bank's Central Information Center, was transferred to the State Assets Management Agency. While emphasizing that the move wasn't driven by privatization motives initially, the evolution into a joint-stock company signals a strategic shift.

    Ortikov underscored the importance of fostering a competitive environment, aligning with the principles of the Law on State Property Management. This legislation mandates the separation of functions among shareholders, owners, and regulators, ensuring fairness and transparency in the privatization process.

    "We will proceed with an open auction for the sale of Humo, adhering to the principles of fairness and transparency," Ortikov affirmed, highlighting the agency's commitment to upholding regulatory standards and preventing preferential treatment of state-owned enterprises.

    Economists foresee a lucrative market for Humo, with Otabek Bakirov suggesting that its market price would exceed that of banks sale. Reports from Kap Depo investment company indicate a surge in Humo's net profit, with an 88% increase in the first quarter alone, reaching UZS 37.4bn ($2.9mn). 

    Bankers.uz echoed this sentiment, reporting a nearly twofold increase in Humo's net profit in 2023 compared to the previous year, amounting to UZS 114.5bn ($9mn).

    Critically, experts emphasize the need for an open and transparent sale process to maximize Humo's value. The State Assets Management Agency has unequivocally stated that there will be no closed sales or clandestine negotiations, ensuring a level playing field for prospective buyers.
