Central Asia is one of Cordoba Research Group’s core regional research priorities. 🇺🇿 🇰🇿 🇰🇬 Our current coverage is focused on Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, where financial sector development, banking reform, fintech adoption, capital markets, commodities exposure, infrastructure needs, policy change and long-term investment themes are becoming more important. These markets remain undercovered, but the direction of travel is increasingly relevant for investors looking at emerging and frontier markets. Our work on Uzbekistan points to a financial system that is deepening, supported by stronger banks, rising fintech activity and a more active start-up base. Kazakhstan remains the region’s key macro and capital markets story, shaped by banking sector development, commodities exposure, infrastructure constraints and broader market reform. Kyrgyzstan is a smaller market, but its growth profile, trade links, banking development and reform path make it an important part of our regional coverage. We are expanding this work through more structured country coverage and direct regional engagement. This summer, our team will travel to Kyrgyzstan to meet people on the ground, improve local context and, of course, make time for some beshbarmak. We will be sharing more of this work over the coming months.
