NATIONAL HOLDINGS

NATIONAL HOLDINGS, Uzbekistan

NATIONAL HOLDINGS in Uzbekistan typically refers to various state-owned holding companies rather than a single private factory or a single private trader. These are large state-owned enterprises (SOEs) that manage a portfolio of companies within strategic sectors of the national economy.

Therefore, it is neither a factory nor a trader in the direct sense. Instead, a National Holding Company functions as an umbrella organization that oversees numerous subsidiary enterprises, which themselves can include factories (manufacturing facilities), trading companies, service providers, and other businesses. Its primary role is to manage state assets, implement sectorial policies, and coordinate operations across its diverse holdings to achieve national economic objectives.

Examples include National Holding Company Uzbekneftegaz (oil and gas) or National Holding Company Uzenergo (energy). These entities are strategic asset managers and industry coordinators for the state.
