How many bad loans do Uzbek banks carry?

Short answer

3.57% of the loan book across the system — under the 5% line, though seven individual banks are above it.

What the figures show

Under 5% is the conventional line for a low level of bad debt, 5-10% is the band usually described as elevated, and above 10% is high. That is the scale, published so you can see exactly what a comparison is claiming; it is not a rating of any bank, and a high figure often reflects what a bank lends against rather than how it is run — consumer lenders sit higher than corporate ones almost everywhere.

Each bank publishes its own figure and the Central Bank collects them quarterly, so this is one of the few places where you can compare Uzbek banks on a like-for-like number. (Central Bank of Uzbekistan, 1 July 2026 ↗)
