The article presents an analysis of direct and indirect relationships of macroeconomic factors affecting the rating of commercial banks. They used various criteria such as R-squared, mean squared error (MSE) and sum of squared cross-validation predictions (Cp) to determine the most significant data set, i.e. parsimonious variables, in determining their level of influence.

This article analyzes the “Business Entity Stability Rating” system implemented in Uzbekistan as part of efforts to enhance digital fiscal governance. The evaluation process is based on automated algorithms that assess legal entities through indicators such as tax discipline, financial transparency, documentation accuracy, and social responsibility. The study examines the correlation between rating indicators and actual economic performance, highlights sectoral and regional disparities, and explores methodological differences with the “CRM-NEW” monitoring system. Using the Kruskal–Wallis H test, a statistically significant relationship is identified between rating categories and tax risk levels, supporting the reliability of the assessment framework. The paper concludes with conceptual and practical recommendations for improving the rating mechanism.

This article analyzes the sovereign credit rating of the Republic of Uzbekistan based on the methodology applied by S&P Global Ratings. The study examines macroeconomic stability, fiscal discipline, public debt dynamics, external sector indicators, and gold-foreign exchange reserves as the key factors influencing rating formation. The results of the statistical data analysis show that high economic growth rates and the significant volume of reserves support the country’s credit rating. At the same time, the high share of external debt, the deficit of the balance of payments, and global risks remain important constraining factors for rating stability.

The article discusses the implementation of the sustainability rating of business entities in Uzbekistan and some important reforms implemented in the tax system, the experience of foreign countries, indicators and methods for assessing the determination of the sustainability rating, as well as the effective use of its criteria. Causal factors were investigated and analyzed, scientific and practical conclusions and proposals were formulated.
