Reports on the privatization of "O'zbekiston pochtasi" have been denied
The State Assets Management Agency has stated that information circulating on social networks regarding the privatization of the joint-stock company "O'zbekiston pochtasi" and the company obtaining a loan of 100 billion soums does not correspond to reality.
It is reported that the share package belonging to state organizations, enterprises, and commercial banks in the charter capital of the company, namely the 92.9 percent state share, has been fully transferred to the State Assets Agency.
Large companies such as "WILDBERRIES" and "UZUM MARKET" have expressed interest in purchasing this share, but to date, no documents have been formalized regarding the privatization of the state share.
It is noted that the joint-stock company "O'zbekiston pochtasi" is currently undergoing a complex financial and transformation phase. Over the last three years, the average net profit amounted to 800 million soums, and the profitability level was 0.2 percent. Based on the results of the 6 months of 2026, revenue amounted to 313.6 billion soums, which is a 17 percent decrease compared to the same period of last year.
In addition, the postal delivery service for traffic violation decisions, which was one of the main sources of income, was suspended on May 16 of this year. As a result of the suspension of this service, a loss of 1.7 billion soums is expected based on the results of 9 months. At the same time, bank debt stands at 45.3 billion soums.
It is noted that the rapid development of the e-commerce market requires a fundamental modernization of the postal infrastructure. According to preliminary calculations, more than 300 billion soums are needed to implement modernization and digitalization projects. Within the framework of these funds, measures such as purchasing cargo motor transport and electric vehicles, updating the sorting center and IT infrastructure, installing additional parcel terminals, and repairing communication facilities are envisaged.
In order to introduce modern management models and attract investments to the company, cooperation is planned with "WB INT EXPORT" LLC, which is one of the large marketplace companies in the country. During the negotiations, this company expressed its readiness to provide loan funds in the amount of 100 billion soums at the Central Bank's refinancing rate.
Since this transaction is considered a major transaction under the legislation, it was included in the agenda of the general meeting of shareholders. However, because a final agreement on interest rates, loan amount, and repayment schedule was not reached, no decision was made on this matter at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.
