We want to significantly increase our service's penetration across the country and reduce the digital divide in Uzbekistan. We can already see how consumer behavior is changing and new digital habits are being formed. We are confident that making fintech services available and increasing the number of Internet users are important for building a new digital economy in Uzbekistan. And our growth figures confirm that Humans is helping drive this process."
