This research investigates the function of corporate governance in enhancing the application of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) within Uzbekistan’s commercial banking industry. This research employs secondary data from sustainability reports, annual disclosures, and publications by the Central Bank of Uzbekistan and international financial institutions to critically examine the impact of governance structures-such as board independence, gender diversity, and oversight committees-on ESG integration and financial stability. The results show that more and more Uzbek banks are reporting on ESG issues. In 2019, just two banks did this, but by 2024, eight banks will be doing it. Banks with boards that are more independent and diverse show far better ESG performance and financial strength, which is shown by greater returns on assets and fewer loans that are not performing. The paper also points out ongoing problems, such as a lack of ESG knowledge, no standardised reporting standards, and uneven policy implementation. The study finds that corporate governance is both a base and a force behind sustainable finance. To bring Uzbekistan's banking practices in line with global sustainability standards, it calls for a national ESG disclosure standard, more accountability at the board level, and stronger institutional capacity building.

Consequently, cash flow statements play a significant role in promoting investment activity, serving as an essential tool in assessing a company’s financial health and prospects.

This article examines the key differences between financial markets and security markets, highlighting their distinct characteristics, dynamics, and implications for market participants. Financial markets are primarily focused on managing market risks, leveraging complex pricing models, and executing trading strategies, with a regulatory framework centered on maintaining overall market stability.

It underscores the need for continuous learning, adaptability, and the incorporation of industry-specific reports, trends, and best practices. As the financial landscape evolves, with the increasing integration of technology and the growing emphasis on sustainability, the ability to differentiate between financial markets and security markets becomes even more crucial for professionals and investors seeking to optimize their performance and manage risks.
