The article below presents the investigation of the evolution of risk theory from the 17thcentury to the present day. Recently attention to the researches of entrepreneurial risks has increased that is caused by a set of circumstances and reasons amplified. The globalization of the world economy, the political instability in the world and the imposition of economic sanctions against Russia for some companies are going to be the drivers of further development, while for others can lead to crisis and even catastrophic level of risk. Nowadays theory and practice of risk management not only have not lost their relevance, on the contrary their development is becoming increasingly important. Fundamental principles of entrepreneurial risk analysis and management were laid by great philosophers, mathematicians, economists already in 17th– 20th centuries. The definition of profit was given and also its understanding was revealed by the scientists in their works through investigation of the profit nature and the role of uncertainty in its generation. They identified the most important distinguishing features that characterized risk situations arising in the economic decision-making process under conditions of uncertainty inherent in a market economy. The greatest contribution to the development of the risk theory was a combination of economic theory, mathematics and statistics, which crystallized as an econometrics. Application of statistics and econometrics allows to quantify the expected profit, its volatility and the level of risk; on the other hand, the use of modern hardware and software makes it possible to predict the future.

This article examines the key risks faced by banks in forming green credit portfolios and identifies effective strategies for risk management. Drawing on international experience, the study analyzes the nature of credit, climate, transition, technological, operational, market, and greenwashing risks.

This research examines the influence of environmental risk management (ERM) on the credit portfolio stability of commercial banks in Uzbekistan, utilising secondary data from sustainability reports, regulatory publications, and international financial institutions. The results show that banks with more advanced ERM frameworks, which include environmental screening, green lending, and sustainability governance, have lower non-performing loan (NPL) ratios and better asset quality.

The study finds that integrating environmental risks into the banking system in Uzbekistan is necessary to make it more financially stable and in line with global standards for sustainable finance

This article is dedicated to a comprehensive study of the issues surrounding the diversification of foreign exchange reserves in commercial banks of Uzbekistan. Based on statistical data spanning from 2018 to 2024 and the financial statements of 12 commercial banks, the composition of currency portfolios, risk management mechanisms, and diversification strategies were analyzed. The research findings reveal that 73,4% of foreign exchange reserves in Uzbekistan's commercial banks are concentrated in US dollars, which is 2.5–3 times higher than international standards and significantly increases systemic currency risk. Based on the proposed "5-currency optimal diversification model", it was determined that there is a potential to increase the banks' Sharpe ratio by 96%, reduce maximum losses under stress testing scenarios by 6.3 percentage points, and lower the VaR (Value at Risk) indicator by 4.4 percentage points

This article examines the economic essence of digital governance in joint-stock companies, with a particular focus on banks operating under conditions of institutional and technological transformation. The study argues that digital governance should not be reduced to automation or IT adoption, but should be interpreted as a data-driven management system influencing decision quality, risk management, compliance, and financial stability. Using a systematic and comparative approach, the limitations of macro-level indices such as DESI and EGDI are identified in assessing corporate governance effectiveness. To address this gap, the paper proposes an integrated author’s indicator system and an integral evaluation model linking digital governance maturity with economic and risk-related outcomes. The findings provide a methodological basis for empirical analysis and practical application in banking governance
