This article is devoted to assessing the prospects for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) to Uzbekistan until 2030 in the context of accelerating structural modernization of the economy, expanding public-private partnerships, the growth of the "green" agenda, and the deepening of digital reforms. The purpose of the study is to identify factors that determine not only the quantitative scale of capital inflow but also its qualitative contribution to productivity, technological renewal, export diversification, and the formation of local value chains. The methodological framework combines comparative-institutional, structural, and problem-oriented analysis of official and analytical materials from 2022-2025. Based on a literature review, it is shown that for developing and transition economies, the sustainable effect of FDI depends on the quality of institutions, the predictability of the regulatory environment, the depth of the financial market, and the state's ability to link investment policy with industrial, innovation, and infrastructure strategies. It is established that Uzbekistan possesses significant competitive This article is devoted to assessing the prospects for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) to Uzbekistan until 2030 in the context of accelerating structural modernization of the economy, expanding public-private partnerships, the growth of the "green" agenda, and the deepening of digital reforms.

Uzbekistan has accelerated the digitalization of public services through legal reforms, infrastructure investments, and the expansion of unified service channels. However, international research shows that simply increasing the service catalog does not lead to meaningful transformation unless back-office interoperability, data governance, and user-centered design help reduce document burdens and procedural uncertainties. This paper presents a three-wave maturity model of Uzbekistan’s progress: (1) establishing basic infrastructure and internal digitization; (2) platform development and hybrid service delivery via a unified portal and one-stop shops; and (3) moving toward data-driven, proactive services based on life events. Using qualitative analysis of documents, institutional mapping, and benchmarking against OECD/UN/World Bank frameworks, the study links each stage’s enablers to expected outcomes like efficiency, transparency, and inclusion, as well as key risks such as data quality issues, interagency coordination gaps, cybersecurity and privacy threats, and uneven adoption. An analytical matrix highlights priority policy actions, including clearer data stewardship, enforceable interoperability standards, security-by-design, and institutionalized user experience (UX) standards integrated into administrative procedures and remedy mechanisms. Lessons from India’s digital public infrastructure show how reusable core components can accelerate scaling while also heightening governance requirements for accountability and trust.

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of modernizing Uzbekistan’s tax system based on digital technologies. It reveals the essence of digitalization, its role in improving the efficiency of tax administration, as well as its specific strategic significance within the system of public governance. As practical outcomes of digital reforms, the article examines in detail the electronic document exchange system, platforms for submitting online tax declarations, the taxpayer’s personal cabinet, the information security infrastructure, integrated databases among tax authorities, and automated control systems. In addition, the study thoroughly analyzes the main problems encountered during the digitalization process, including infrastructure disparities between regions, insufficient internet speed and technical support, low digital literacy among the population and entrepreneurs, gaps in legislation, and cybersecurity risks. Along with the organizational, economic, and technical barriers faced in implementing digital systems, the article develops scientifically grounded proposals for overcoming these problems. The results highlight effective mechanisms for increasing transparency, reducing tax administration costs, minimizing human-factor-related errors, and creating convenient conditions for taxpayers through the modernization of the tax system. The findings are expected to be of practical significance for tax authorities, economic experts, business entities, and state institutions implementing digitalization policy.

This paper examines the trade dynamics of landlocked Central Asia, with a particular focus on Uzbekistan. The geographical disadvantages of Uzbekistan, a double-landlocked country, significantly impede its trade competitiveness due to high transportation costs and prolonged transit times. Historically dependent on exports of commodities such as cotton, gold, and natural gas, Uzbekistan’s economy remains vulnerable to global market fluctuations. To mitigate these challenges and enhance its trade potential, the study underscores the necessity of diversifying into value-added sectors and improving trade logistics infrastructure. By employing the gravity model of trade, the paper evaluates the impact of trade facilitation measures on bilateral trade volumes within the Central Asian region. The findings highlight the critical role of infrastructure development, customs modernization, and regional cooperation in bolstering Uzbekistan’s trade efficiency. The analysis reveals that countries with advanced trade facilitation measures engage in higher trade volumes with Uzbekistan, suggesting that strategic investments in transport infrastructure and regulatory reforms are pivotal. These efforts are essential for integrating Uzbekistan more effectively into global markets and fostering economic growth within the region.
