这家乌兹别克斯坦领先的金融科技企业，在成为国内最大的私营企业债券发行方后，可能很快会进军国际债券市场。
Uzbekistan’s leading fintech firm may soon tap the international debt market after becoming the largest private corporate issuer domestically.
据该公司联合创始人兼首席战略官尼古拉·谢列兹涅夫透露，Uzum正在考虑首次发行欧元债券，最早可能于今年年底实施。近年来，中亚地区的债券产品深受投资者青睐：哈萨克斯坦是该地区最活跃的欧元债券发行国，而乌兹别克斯坦的企业也日益获得大量订单。
By Abeer Abu Omar and Yuliya Fedorinova Uzum is weighing its first eurobond sale, potentially as early as by the end of this year, according to Nikolay Seleznev, the company’s co-founder and chief strategy officer. Central Asian debt has drawn strong investor demand in recent years, with Kazakhstan the region’s most active eurobond issuer and Uzbek companies increasingly attracting large order books.
谢列兹涅夫在迪拜接受彭博电视采访时说道：“我们正在大力拓展无担保贷款业务，因此需要大量资金。目前我们的处境十分有利：只有获得充足资金才能实现盈利。”迄今为止，Uzum主要依靠包括中国腾讯控股有限公司以及阿曼主权财富基金在内的投资方提供的私人投资来支持发展。今年3月进行的最新一轮融资中，该公司的估值达到23亿美元，预计年内还将开展新一轮融资。
“We are scaling our unsecured lending business and, as a result, we need a lot of funding,” Seleznev said in an interview with Bloomberg TV in Dubai. “We are in a very good situation: we need a lot of money to make money.”Uzum has so far funded growth through private investment from backers including China’s Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Oman’s sovereign wealth funds. Its latest funding round in March valued the company at $2.3 billion, with another round planned for this year.
自2025年起，Uzum已在本地市场累计发行了2.1万亿苏姆（约合1.78亿美元）的债券。这家企业目前也在筹划首次公开募股事宜；本月，根据5月份签署的贷款协议，欧亚开发银行向其提供的贷款额度也从原先的7000万美元提高到了1亿美元。

This firm, which is also mulling an initial public offering of its shares, this month increased financing from the Eurasian Development Bank to $100 million from $70 million under an original loan agreement signed in May.
谢列兹涅夫最后表示：“一旦时机成熟，我们肯定会把发行欧元债券列入计划，时间很可能是在今年年底或明年年初。”
“Eurobonds will definitely be on our radar when the timing is right, possibly later this year or early next year,” Seleznev said.
