TASHKENT, UZBEKISTAN, June 13 (Bernama) — The Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Berhad (EXIM Bank) has reinforced its commitment to expanding Malaysia’s global trade presence by participating in the Third Plenary Session of the Foreign Investors Council (FIC) in Tashkent. The high-level forum, held on 11June 2025, was co-chaired by His Excellency Shavkat Mirziyoyev, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and Her Excellency Odile Renaud-Basso, President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The session convened global leaders to explore reforms and opportunities under Uzbekistan’s Vision 2030 economic roadmap.
EXIM Bank’s participation is aligned with Malaysia’s National Investment Policy 2030 (NIMP2030), which aims to expand investment beyond traditional markets and support the globalisation of Malaysian small and medium enterprises. As part of its mandate to promote exports, EXIM Bank is focusing on strengthening ties with Central Asia through strategic engagements that benefit both Malaysian businesses and regional partners. This includes exploring structured financing solutions for key partners in Uzbekistan, most notably a proposed collaboration with Joint-Stock Commercial Bank Hamkorbank, Uzbekistan, aimed at supporting Malaysian companies operating in Uzbekistan and Uzbek importers of Malaysian goods.
