"These challenges primarily include ensuring the sustainability of ongoing reforms, the adoption of a law on digital banks, as well as the further expansion of integration ties in the financial and banking system in the region. The steps that will be taken in this direction will make an important contribution to the full transition of relations between banks and customers to the digital plane, as well as to the formation of the country as an innovation hub.
