Why is this important
Dismissal of a top manager with 28 years of experience after early termination of authority may indicate internal conflict, strategy change, or dissatisfaction with results. Garant bank (formerly Savdogarbank) is a private bank with a long history, and such personnel changes affect management and strategy.

Context
The dismissal of the first deputy chairman after 28 years of service is a rare occurrence, indicating serious reasons. Possible options:
Strategy change: shareholders or the supervisory board decide to change the bank’s development course, and the old management team doesn’t fit into the new strategy.
Financial results: the bank may have encountered problems: increased overdue payments, decreased profits, and losses. Makhmudov, as the first deputy, could be responsible for the operational management.
Internal conflict: Disagreements between management and shareholders or within a team of top managers could lead to the premature termination of authority.
Regulatory issues: The Central Bank could identify violations in bank management, which led to personnel changes.
28 лет стажа — исключительная преданность банку. Махмудов работал еще при «Савдогарбанке» и видел все трансформации: приватизацию, кризисы, ребрендинг. Его уход завершает целую эпоху в истории банка.
Savdogarbank was one of the first private banks in Uzbekistan, established in 1991. In 2018, it was renamed Garant bank as part of a rebranding and modernization.
