Abstract
This article systematizes the organizational and legal basis for how local state authorities in Uzbekistan manage territorial economic development. Based on a functional–legal review of constitutional norms, framework laws, and key presidential and governmental acts, it groups legally assigned powers into ten governance domains covering the full development cycle. The study finds that the framework increasingly emphasizes strategic planning, program budgeting, land and infrastructure readiness, business climate improvement, and investment/export support, while effectiveness depends on coordination, accountability, and measurable indicators. It concludes that strengthening results-based management, clarifying responsibilities, and improving monitoring and audit procedures can enhance the sustainability and predictability of territorial economic policy.
