This article critically and analytically examines the institutional foundations of real estate management. The state of development in the industry is analyzed based on conducted research, statistical data, opinions of international and local economists, as well as current trends in practice. Aspects such as ambiguity in the distribution of powers, lack of transparency, weak coordination between institutions, and lack of trust regarding existing problems in the management system are analyzed. Using the example of the E-auction platform, the importance of effective institutional reform is demonstrated, and institutional solutions and recommendations necessary for the sustainable development of the real estate market are developed.

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.

The article develops practical recommendations to identify problematic aspects of the current system for attracting international financial resources in Uzbekistan, increase the efficiency of resource use, strengthen transparency and accountability, and improve institutional coordination.

This article scientifically examines the role of innovation policy in accelerating regional socio-economic development. In the context of globalization and digital transformation, it emphasizes that third-generation policies aligned with regional innovation systems (RIS) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a key factor in ensuring economic growth. The study is based on systematic literature review (SLR) methodology and analyzes a number of research works published in recent years in the Scopus, Web of Science, and ResearchGate databases. The results indicate that innovation policy, as exemplified by the European Union (S3 strategies) and China (MLP programs), increases GRDP by 5-15%, enhancing employment and competitiveness, although institutional constraints and polarization risks persist in less developed regions. The conclusion demonstrates that the effectiveness of the policy depends on R&D investments and university-industry collaboration. Among the recommendations are increasing subsidies and introducing flexible conditions, while future research should focus on developing countries.

This study is devoted to the analysis and improvement of organizational and economic mechanisms for the effective attraction and management of investment projects in the accelerated development of the tourism sector in Uzbekistan. Despite the fact that the reforms being carried out in the field of tourism, the rich cultural and historical heritage and natural resources of the country create wide opportunities for investors, there are still certain problems in the organizational mechanisms, legal framework, and institutional environment for ensuring investment activity. The study thoroughly analyzes the factors hindering the implementation of investment projects related to tourism, in particular, the difficulties in preparing project engineering documentation, long-term formalization in the process of land allocation, insufficient financial guarantees, and the problems of coordination between local authorities and the private sector.
