Uzbekistan may tap global debt markets with a second dollar-denominated Eurobond this year after investors lapped up a debut sale in February.

“International investors need to be able to see a country’s credit history,” Mamarizo Nurmuratov, the nation’s central bank chief, said in an interview in St. Petersburg, Russia. “Our first one doesn’t give us a history just yet, it just created a benchmark.”
