Why is this important
If a private investor truly joins UzPost, it could accelerate technological transformation, increase competition with private logistics operators, and change the cost structure of services.
What happened
- UzPost confirmed that it is considering attracting investments for infrastructure renewal, logistics, and digitalization.
- Against the backdrop of rumors about the privatization of the state share (including reports about the Russian marketplace Wildberries as a potential buyer), the company emphasized that any transactions with a large investor will be disclosed under the law on joint-stock companies.
- State structures and more than 16,000 legal entities and individuals participate in the authorized capital of UzPost.
- In 2025, about 29.4% of UzPost shares were planned to be listed in the privatization program.
What they say
Investors will be attracted only in strict compliance with legislation and full transparency, — UzPost states.
Context
According to the 2025 privatization program, the state intends to sell shares in 115 companies, among which UzPost shares were previously considered. In the case of real estate transfer, 50 post offices in Tashkent were previously contributed to UzPost’s authorized capital. At the moment, there is no official confirmation that the state share has been sold — the media reported this based on “sources”.
