In the last few years, significant progress has been made in Uzbekistan in creating a legal framework for the regulation of corporate relations. In particular, a recent Presidential Decree has abolished a number of rules and mandatory requirements, creating additional barriers for entering into corporate relations. Henceforth, state registration of the founding agreement of a company and the creation of internal audit services in organizations will no longer be mandatory, except in certain cases.
