In early October, the Tajik media AP reported that Alif Capital had established a company in Uzbekistan to take advantage of the MUIC preferential tax treatment.

Then it was reported that Alif in Tashkent works in the field of POS financing (installments), allowing local electronic stores to sell their products with deferred payment, using their software, as well as the alifshop.uz online store.

The publication, citing company representatives, wrote that Alif was cooperating with Arena Markaz, which represents a network of electronics stores.

“We intend to increase the partnership base, which we will offer to either buy our software or sell us their products for subsequent installment sales. Currently, Alif in Uzbekistan is a software provider and POS financier,” the publication quoted.

Alif Capital also reported that they consider Uzbekistan a good place to start expanding activities in the region, as there are similarities in consumer habits and a large market.
