BEIJING, April 26. /Dunyo IA/. Chinese publication "Victwo" has published an article dedicated to the 5th Anniversary Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF-2026), which is scheduled to take place in Tashkent from June 16–19, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

It is reported that the central theme of the anniversary forum will be the Tashkent International Financial Centre (TIFC), established by a Presidential Decree in March 2026. This initiative is supported by a specific institutional architecture: a special legal regime based on the principles of Common Law, an independent financial services regulator, the Tashkent International Arbitration Centre (TIAC), and tax incentives valid until 2076.

It is noted that the business program of TIIF-2026 is structured around four core pillars: investment resilience and capital protection mechanisms, the development of financial infrastructure and capital markets, trade connectivity and logistics corridors, and the energy transition and climate finance.

The energy agenda deserves special mention. Uzbekistan has set an ambitious goal to increase the share of renewable energy sources in electricity generation to 54% by 2030. Currently, solar and wind power plants with a combined capacity of over 4 GW are operational in the country, while the project portfolio envisions the construction of an additional 19 GW of "green" capacity.

The publication notes that TIIF-2026 maintains its format of bilateral business forums, reflecting the expanding geography of Uzbekistan’s economic partnerships. Confirmed platforms include business forums with the Republic of Korea, the United States, Croatia, Hungary, Türkiye and Albania, as well as a "China–SCO Countries" investment dialogue. The list of participants continues to grow as the forum approaches.

"For Uzbekistan, TIIF serves as a functional instrument of investment policy, the effectiveness of which is measured not by the number of signing ceremonies, but by the volume of capital that has tangibly entered the economy between forums. The fifth anniversary forum is held at a pivotal moment as the country simultaneously launches an international financial center, enacts legislation on alternative investment funds and receives a sovereign credit rating upgrade - a convergence that creates a window of opportunity for investors prepared to engage with frontier markets backed by a strengthening institutional framework", - concludes "Victwo".
