Abstract
This study examines the pressing challenges and viable solutions associated with attracting both foreign and domestic investments to the economic regions of Uzbekistan. Although the country has made substantial progress in reforming its investment climate—evident in legal enhancements, infrastructure upgrades, and the creation of special economic zones—persistent regional disparities and bureaucratic inefficiencies continue to hinder balanced development. By analyzing statistical trends from 2020 to 2024 and identifying key investor countries, this research provides a comprehensive overview of investment dynamics in the country. A SWOT analysis is utilized to diagnose internal strengths and weaknesses alongside external opportunities and threats. The study concludes by offering targeted policy recommendations that emphasize innovation, regional infrastructure, human capital, and public-private partnerships as essential pillars for fostering long-term, inclusive growth across Uzbekistan’s diverse economic landscape.
