Uzbekistan’s Central Bank to Launch Anti-Fraud System by September

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has signed a decree that requires the Central Bank of Uzbekistan to complete the implementation of a centralised anti-fraud system by early September.

By the same deadline, banks and payment organisations across the country must also introduce similar systems.

By September 1, the Central Bank’s unified platform will begin integrating transaction data and other financial information from Uzbekistan’s financial institutions.

The regulator will publish monthly lists of banks and payment systems reporting the highest number of cybercrime cases.

The Central Bank also plans to launch a system to detect signs of financial pyramid schemes and notify law enforcement authorities. In addition, it will roll out public awareness campaigns on social media and online platforms to help citizens avoid cyber scams.

Uzbekistan will also introduce Cyberculture Month, which will take place nationwide every November to raise public awareness and promote safe online behaviour.
