Preparations for the inclusion of the company’s shares in the exchange quotation list of RBF Toshkent began in August 2021. At that time, only preferred shares of the company (24.31 million units) were in free float. The price of one share on the trading floor ranged from 720 sums to 3000 sums of face value – 500 sums.

Last September, Fitch assigned Uzbenftegaz a BB- credit rating with a stable outlook, later given a similar rating in S&P Global Ratings. In November, the company released its first Eurobonds for $700 million.
