The fourth regional meeting of the representatives of the national banks of Central Asia was held in Tajikistan. The participants of the meeting supported Kazakhstan's proposal to unify national QR payment systems. By the end of 2026, the countries plan to develop a mechanism that will allow residents of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan to pay for purchases and services abroad using their bank's normal application, as well as transfer funds to each other instantly. The parties also discussed ensuring the reliability of the functioning of the payment systems and protection against cyber attacks and up-to-date procedures in the fight against fraud.
