EFFECTIVE USE OF INVESTMENT POTENTIAL TO ENSURE SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGIONS OF UZBEKISTAN

Abstract
This article examines the effective use of investment potential as a fundamental driver for sustainable economic development in the regions of Uzbekistan. Based on a qualitative analysis of national strategies, scholarly studies, and investment trends, the research highlights the crucial role of infrastructure development, innovation, and human capital in enhancing regional competitiveness. Despite significant improvements in Uzbekistan’s investment climate, regional disparities, sectoral concentration, and institutional barriers persist. The study provides strategic recommendations for optimizing investment flows, fostering innovation-driven sectors, and strengthening governance mechanisms. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how targeted investment policies can promote balanced, inclusive, and resilient regional growth in Uzbekistan.
