Opportunities and Prospects of Establishment of Special Economic Zones in Uzbekistan

Abstract

The article examines the establishment and prospects of free economic zones in the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as the increasingly urgent problems of ensuring the openness of the national economy and integration of national economies into the world economy in the course of world economic globalization. At the expense of these, countries seek to benefit from participation in the international division of labor. Special economic zones have become one of the effective tools that allow the national economy to enter the world economy and increase its foreign economic activity. Such zones pave the way for countries to implement regional preferences in accelerating socio-economic growth.

One of the important components of the export-oriented strategy is the establishment of special economic zones (SEIs). SEZs were established in order to improve the state of the balance of payments, develop the national economy, attract national and foreign capital, use high technologies, and deeply integrate into the world economy.
