The article examines the issues of improving the methodological foundations for assessing the effectiveness of fiscal policy and their application in the practice of Uzbekistan. In particular, the theoretical foundations of evaluating fiscal policy as well as the possibilities of using traditional and modern methods in determining its effectiveness are analyzed. Specifically, the study considers the composite index of effectiveness based on macroeconomic indicators (MSSI – Macroeconomic Stability and Sustainability Index), the sectoral cost–effectiveness evaluation model (DEA – Data Envelopment Analysis), the elasticity method for assessing the impact of tax policy on GDP, behavioral models based on the Laffer curve, and the performance-based assessment of social expenditure efficiency (PBB – Performance-Based Budgeting). Using Uzbekistan as a case study, these methodological approaches were applied and analyzed, which made it possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of fiscal policy and to outline prospective directions for its improvement.

This article fully reveals the current importance of assessing tax policy in Uzbekistan using a scientific approach. First, a review of the scientific literature on the topic is presented, new theoretical approaches and scientific developments of recognized specialists in the field of taxation are analyzed. Then, general conclusions and proposals are made, and the main directions for the formation and improvement of tax policy on a scientific basis are identified. Through this, the necessary recommendations are provided to ensure the economic growth and socio-economic stability of our country.

Ensuring sustainable and inclusive development of regional economies stands as a central challenge for contemporary economic policy and regional planning. This paper develops the theoretical foundations for econometric modeling of regional development, aiming to provide a rigorous methodological framework for quantifying growth drivers and producing reliable forecasts of regional economic performance. The primary objective is to specify and justify econometric models that capture both the long-run relationships and short-run dynamics among core regional indicators (GRDP, industrial output, retail turnover, investment inflows, employment and income levels, and institutional variables). The theoretical discussion integrates perspectives from neoclassical growth theory, endogenous growth models, institutional economics and evolutionary economics to frame the empirical strategy

The article considers new elements of regional development strategy with a focus on institutional and methodological aspects of planning socio-economic progress. Special attention is paid to the role of public participation in the processes of development and implementation of strategic documents, including such mechanisms as public hearings, expert consultations, focus groups, digital platforms of e-governance and, in particular, civic budgeting. The author analyzes both theoretical foundations and practical examples of the introduction of such tools in international practice (Brazil, Spain, France, China) and the prerequisites for their application in the Republic of Belarus. The author presents the key directions for improving the system of strategic planning at the regional level: legal framework, institutional infrastructure, approval procedures, monitoring and evaluation, as well as identifies the existing institutional barriers. It is demonstrated that strengthening the role of civil society and introduction of mechanisms for direct participation of the population in the distribution of budgetary resources contribute to increasing the transparency of public decisions, strengthening trust in the authorities and more accurately reflecting the interests of the local population. The conclusion is that it is necessary to integrate new approaches into the current system of state planning to ensure sustainable and balanced of regional development.
