Such changes are typically the replacement of the incumbent government by another, most often by means of military force or dynastic succession. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">In the early years of independence, former USSR republics were prolific in taking regional USSR leaders, white washing them as independent, democratic and free-thinking, and allowing them to rule for the rest of their lives. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">Such was the case with Uzbekistan. Islam Karimov transitioned from being First Secretary of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan to becoming the first president of independent Uzbekistan. Karimov remained as president until he died in early 2016. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">Limited economic development, rampant cronyism and suppressed civil liberties were exactly what one would expect from a tyrannical leader who ruled with an iron fist. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">While neighboring Kazakhstan flourished under Nursultan Nazerbayev &#8211; also a relic from USSR party leadership but one who managed his country in a dramatically different way, Uzbekistan saw limited positive change over the first 25 years of independence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">When Karimov died in September 2016, Prime Minister (since 2003), Shavkat Mirzaiyoyev, was appointed as interim president. By the end of the year, Mirzaiyoyev was elected to serve a five year term as president which was renewed for another five years in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">While few in Uzbekistan would have resisted maintaining the status quo &#8211; of keeping his people and economy held down for the sake of consistency and national security, in 2016, Mirziyoyev announced the radical transformation of Uzbekistan from a centrally planned economy to a free market economy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">Few people in the world noticed, and even fewer believed that Mirzaiyoyev would fulfill his commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">In February 2017 the government announced a broad market-oriented five pillar reform program that included: 1) improving public administration and governance; 2) ensuring rule of law and judicial reform; 3) liberalizing the economy and maintaining economic growth; 4) improving the social infrastructure and safety nets; and 5) ensuring security and implementing a functional foreign policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">Within months Uzbekistan adopted a program to privatize state owned enterprises, which included much of the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">Fast forward five years and Uzbekistan is one of the fastest growing frontier economies on our planet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">With considerable natural resources of cotton, uranium, natural gas and gold &#8211; including the Muruntau Gold Mine &#8211; the largest open pit gold mine in the world, a growing middle class and an inexpensive labor force, Uzbekistan\u2019s economy and privatizations are poised to continue growing for the foreseeable future. <\/span><br class=\"\" \/><br class=\"\" \/><b class=\"\"><span class=\"\">Don\u2019t take my word for it. <\/span><br class=\"\" \/><\/b><span class=\"\">In 2018, Scott Osheroff set out to explore Central Asia for Asia Frontier Capital (AFC), in search of the next great market to add to AFC\u2019s portfolio of high growth investment funds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">Scott has had a long history with Obris. He helped pioneer our first meet-up in Mongolia. We have spent time together in Vietnam and Myanmar where he lived prior to moving to Uzbekistan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">When Scott and I spoke prior to his Central Asia visit, it was clear that his sights were on Kazakhstan, the next-door-neighbor to Uzbekistan with a much larger economy and population. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">Much to everyone\u2019s surprise, the stand out economy was Uzbekistan. The reforms that President Mirzaiyoyev began only two years earlier were well-established and expanding. As a result, Scott saw a plethora of immediate opportunities and considerable prospect for future investments. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\">Scott and his colleagues established the AFC Uzbekistan Fund in March 2019. The fund invests exclusively in privatized equities in high growth industries. Since inception, the AFC team have led the fund to an increase of 102% NAV.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/obrisinvest.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; width=&#8221;62%&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/obrisinvest.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/image-1.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; width=&#8221;66%&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.10.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Scott&#8217;s bullish enthusiasm for the region led him to relocate to Tashkent where he has been living for the past three years.<\/p>\n<p>I recently sat down with Scott for an interview.
