This article examines the structure of resource bases and capital adequacy mechanisms in major international commercial banks, with a focus on JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo. The analysis reveals that deposits remain the primary source of funding, while long-term liabilities and shareholder equity play a crucial role in ensuring financial stability. The Basel Committee’s capital adequacy standards serve as an essential benchmark, enhancing banks’ capacity to absorb risks. The findings are of practical relevance for Uzbekistan’s banking sector in terms of diversifying resource bases, optimizing capital structure, and strengthening liquidity management.

Countries are increasingly proposing investment attraction systems that aim to improve economic efficiency and achieve higher “green competitiveness” outcomes by better aligning environmental standards and growth policies under sustainability-oriented governance mechanisms. The need to develop and implement balanced investment strategies, drawing on international best practices to determine which environmental and economic indicators are appropriate and how to integrate them into national planning systems and sectoral development programs, is forcing emerging economies to rethink their policy instruments, regulatory mechanisms, and institutional capacities. This study aims to make this contribution, in addition to providing an analytical framework that reviews empirical papers that shed light on the interactions between investment attraction, environmental compliance, and policy coordination with dynamics such as sustainable fiscal policy, industrial modernization, regional development, or green transformation. Following a methodological synthesis, a comparative assessment of foreign investment development is prepared, in which environmental integration is linked to these key terms, economic diversification and institutional adaptation. This framework can serve as a benchmarking model and policy guidance for regulators, investors, analysts and decision-makers. This study has two main contributions. First, it is the first time that such a multi-criteria assessment table is being developed to demonstrate the interrelationship between economic and environmental aspects. Second, it captures the idea of compatibility between environmental protection and economic development, policy implementation and societal needs, national priorities and global standards, i.e. it requires flexible governance. This article provides Uzbek policymakers with important information and insights on how to take environmental commitments into account when attracting sustainable investment. The future research agenda provides broad opportunities for comparative analyses and applied studies on investment efficiency, sustainable growth, institutional capacity, and green transformation.

This article provides an empirical analysis of the impact of the rule of law and corruption control on Uzbekistan’s non-resource exports. In the context of globalization and increasing international competition, institutional quality has become a key determinant of external trade performance. Using an extended gravity model of international trade and panel data covering the period 2001–2022, the study assesses the effects of institutional indicators, including control of corruption and rule of law, on Uzbekistan’s non-resource export flows. The econometric results demonstrate a statistically significant and robust positive relationship between control of corruption, rule of law and export performance. The findings suggest that further export diversification and a shift toward higher value-added products are unlikely without deepening institutional reforms
