Austrian Raiffeisen Bank has joined Uzbekistan’s capital market «sandbox,» the National Agency for Advanced Projects (NAPP) announced. The bank became the sixth participant after receiving official approval from the agency.

According to NAPP, Raiffeisen Bank will act as a foreign nominal holder, enabling its clients to store and trade Uzbek securities acquired via UZCE and the Tashkent Regional Financial Centre.

Raiffeisen Bank, headquartered in Vienna, operates across Central and Eastern Europe, providing corporate and retail banking, investment banking services, leasing and other financial solutions.

The bank reported consolidated profits exceeding €1 bn in the third quarter of 2025, marking a 21% increase compared with the previous year.
