The European Union intends to include the Uzbekistan-owned “Asia-Invest Bank” in its 16th package of sanctions.
This assumption was put forward by the investigative project “System”. The sanctions may also affect 14 Russian banks, which will be disconnected from the SWIFT system.
“Asia-Invest Bank” was founded in 1996 under an intergovernmental agreement between Russia and Uzbekistan.
We also remind you that in early November last year, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on the Uzbek company Uzstanex limited liability partnership.
