Abstract

This thesis explores ways to improve the methodological foundation and digital monitoring infrastructure for adjusting share valuation models for illiquidity and country risk in frontier markets, drawing on evidence from Uzbekistan. Based on an analysis of regulatory documents, Republican Stock Exchange "Toshkent" trading statistics, and sovereign risk data, it is shown that while valuation standards exist, cost-of-equity parameters are not substantively linked to sovereign spread dynamics and free-float concentration risks. A conditional sequence, the "single security code – single risk-liquidity parameter – single data source" principle, and five readiness indicators are substantiated.
