Abstract
Sustainable economic growth in developing countries depends on the effective interaction of international and domestic factors. The purpose the research is to identify and analyze the determinants of sustainable growth and receive new findings through the systematic review of the modern scientific and institutional research data from 2024 to 2025, including the World Bank, the IMF, UN DESA, and the ADB official reports, on the case of Uzbekistan. Conclusively, under high, currently experienced risks such as financial instability, post-pandemic recovery prospects, and the geopolitical situation, developing countries can benefit from long-term growth by increasing the quality of their institutions, infrastructure, human capital, innovation, and governance. However, the literature lacks a sufficient overview of the frameworks based on the integration of these five drivers into the national policies adapted to the specific conditions of, for example, the Central Asia. The methodological approach combines comparative analysis and synthesis of international findings with empirical data from Uzbekistan’s reform trajectory. Results show that robust institutions, green infrastructure, digital transformation, and macroeconomic stability significantly influence growth sustainability. Uzbekistan’s experience demonstrates that targeted reforms, public–private partnerships, and investments in renewable energy and education contribute to economic diversification and poverty reduction. The study concludes that achieving sustainable growth requires synergy between governance, technology, and social inclusion. The implications emphasize the importance of continued institutional strengthening, human capital development, and green transition strategies to secure inclusive and resilient development in emerging economies.
