Uzbekistan's Ministry of Economy and Finance has updated its public interest entity register following a review against the applicable eligibility criteria. The register now covers 449 organizations, up from 425, with 24 entities included for the first time. The review also found that 17 existing registrants no longer meet the criteria, but they will remain listed for the next two years to preserve continuity in their financial reporting, audit and corporate governance obligations. Entities added to the register in 2026 must organize their accounting under International Financial Reporting Standards from Jan. 1, 2027. By the end of 2028, they must prepare IFRS financial statements and publish them with audit opinions, unless legislation already requires them to transition earlier.
