Saida Mirziyoyeva becomes managing director of Tashkent International Financial Center

Saida Mirziyoyeva has been appointed managing director of the Tashkent International Financial Center. She will hold the role alongside her current position as head of the Presidential Administration of Uzbekistan. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed the decree, and his press secretary Sherzod Asadov announced it.

As managing director, Mirziyoyeva will serve as general secretary of the center's Council. She will set the agenda and chair Council meetings when the chairman is not present. Her main task is to coordinate the launch of the center, prepare priority documents and organise cooperation between government bodies and the center's structures.

She will also represent the financial center in contacts with international organisations, investors and partners in Uzbekistan and abroad. Her powers include taking part in personnel decisions, such as appointing the executive director of the center's administration and deputies, and recommending leadership for the Financial Services Department.

The managing director can sign agreements, create working groups and bring in outside experts. The appointment combines the top administrative post in the country with the operational launch of a new financial hub, giving the center direct access to government coordination.
