ASSESSMENT OF THE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF DIGITALIZATION PROCESSES IN POSTAL COMMUNICATION ENTERPRISES OF UZBEKISTAN EVIDENCE FROM “UZBEKISTON POCHTASI” JSC
Gulom Mamatkulov

The article analyses the dynamics of service structure, regional indicators and digitalisation efficiency in JSC “Uzbekiston Pochtasi” and its territorial branches for 2020–2025. The study relies on the statistical tables, regional comparisons and integral efficiency indicators presented. The findings show that periodicals and written correspondence still occupy an important position in the service portfolio, but their long-term growth potential is limited. The sharp decline in electronic money transfers indicates the need to reconsider the value proposition of postal financial services under competition from fintech and mobile banking applications. By contrast, positive changes in parcel flows, delivery speed, customer satisfaction and the share of digital orders confirm the feasibility of gradually shifting the postal system towards an e-commerce logistics and digital platform model. The article develops practical recommendations on regional clustering, minimum digital standards, KPI/SLA monitoring, and stronger integration of logistics and financial services

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECONOMIC GROWTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IN THE CONTEXT OF A GREEN ECONOMY
Durdona Abdukaxxorova

This article examines the relationship between economic growth and environmental sustainability in the context of a green economy. The study is based on the assumption that economic expansion and ecological balance should not be considered as opposing development objectives, but as interdependent components of long-term competitiveness. The research uses comparative analysis, statistical observation and a small-sample OLS regression model to assess the interaction between GDP growth, CO2 emissions per capita and renewable energy indicators in Uzbekistan. The results show that growth in transition economies can remain connected with environmental pressure when institutional, technological and financial mechanisms of greening are not sufficiently developed. At the same time, the expansion of renewable energy capacity and the strengthening of ESG-oriented governance create opportunities for gradually reducing this dependence. The novelty of the study lies in linking green economy theory with empirical evidence and policy-oriented recommendations for an emerging economy context.

ENERGY DYNAMICS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN CENTRAL ASIAN TRANSITION ECONOMIES: A PANEL DATA ANALYSIS (1990–2024)
Indira Khadjieva

This study examines the determinants of economic growth across five Central Asian transition economies; Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan; over the period 1990–2024, with particular focus on the role of energy consumption. Using a panel dataset of 170 observations drawn from World Bank indicators, the analysis integrates energy consumption, financial development, industrialization, and trade openness into a unified panel data framework. Given a non-standard Hausman test result stemming from high intra-class correlation, the fixed-effects model is adopted as the preferred specification on theoretical grounds, with random-effects estimates reported for comparative transparency. The fixed-effects results reveal that financial development is the strongest and most consistent driver of within-country GDP per capita growth, followed by industrialization measured by manufacturing value-added. Energy consumption exerts a significant positive effect, consistent with the growth hypothesis of the energy-growth nexus, though its modest coefficient suggests diminishing returns within countries over time. Trade openness, by contrast, is negatively associated with GDP per capita, reflecting the adverse consequences of poorly sequenced liberalization in economies with limited institutional capacity and export diversification. These findings contribute original empirical evidence on the energy-growth nexus in the post-Soviet Central Asian context, offering policy-relevant insights for financial sector deepening, industrial upgrading, energy efficiency investment, and strategic trade integration across the region

AUDIT STANDARDIZATION IN ISLAMIC FINANCE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AAOIFI AND IAASB FRAMEWORKS
Hasan Umarov

The global Islamic finance industry, now exceeding USD 4.5 trillion in assets, operates under a distinct audit governance framework that remains underexplored in comparative regulatory scholarship. This study examines the trajectory of audit standardization within Islamic financial institutions (IFIs), focusing on the standards issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) against the backdrop of the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). Drawing on documentary analysis, regulatory review, and a structured comparative methodology, the paper critically evaluates the current AAOIFI Auditing Standards for Islamic Financial Institutions (ASIFIs) alongside the proposed draft Standard on Auditing (SOA) 1 "Fundamentals of Auditing." Key findings reveal significant structural gaps in the AAOIFI framework, including the absence of a conceptual assurance framework analogous to the IAASB's International Framework for Assurance Engagements, outdated standards that have remained unchanged for over two decades, and an overly consolidated draft standard that risks impeding practitioner comprehension. The study proposes a set of actionable recommendations for AAOIFI reform, including the development of a standalone "AAOIFI Concept for Assurance Engagements," the urgent revision of ASIFI 1–3 and ASIFI 5, and the adoption of IAASB structural conventions. The findings carry particular relevance for jurisdictions actively developing Islamic finance regulatory environments, including Russia, Malaysia, Bahrain, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states

Zumrad Umarova

The article analyzes the institutional, methodological, and organizational problems arising in the process of preparing consolidated financial statements (hereinafter – CFS) in accordance with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter – IFRS). In the study, CFS is interpreted not merely as the practice of aggregating the financial statements of individual enterprises line by line, but as a broader system encompassing economic relations at the group level, mechanisms for exercising control over consolidated entities, the organization of information systems necessary for consolidation, and the establishment of an integrated group accounting policy. The article examines the main practical problems encountered in the consolidation process under the conditions of Uzbekistan, including formal approaches to the assessment of control, issues related to the application of a unified group accounting policy and the elimination of intra-group transactions, as well as insufficiently developed information databases and inadequate professional capacity of personnel. These problems are classified into five main groups (regulatory-institutional, organizational-managerial, methodological, technical, and human resource related), and based on their analysis, the author proposes a diagnostic model. Furthermore, practical recommendations have been developed regarding the determination of the consolidation perimeter, standardization of group accounting policies, modernization of information systems, and enhancement of human capital capacity. The results of the research contribute to improving the preparation of consolidated financial statements in Uzbekistan, increasing the transparency of corporate governance, and deepening the integration of reporting corporate groups into the international financial market

INSTRUCTIONAL QUALITY AND DIGITAL READING ACHIEVEMENT: EVIDENCE FROM POST-SOVIET TRANSITION ECONOMIES USING PISA 2022
Indira Khadjieva

This study examines the relationship between students' perceptions of instructional quality and their digital reading performance across seven post-Soviet countries using PISA 2022 data (N = 56,477 students; 2,495 schools). Drawing on Klieme et al.'s instructional quality framework—encompassing instructional approaches, classroom management, and supportive climate—three-level hierarchical linear models (HLM) were estimated. Results indicate that perceived instructional adaptation (β = 0.109), teacher-directed instruction (β = 0.076), digital skills teaching practices (β = 0.230), and stimulation of reading engagement (β = 0.123) were significantly and positively associated with digital reading outcomes. A favorable disciplinary climate (β = 0.031), teacher interest (β = 0.073), and teacher support (β = 0.054) also contributed positively. Conversely, reading skill exercises (β = −0.051) and extended instructional time (β = −0.054) showed small negative associations. School-level variance explained a large share of outcome variability (f² = 44.77%), underscoring the institutional role in shaping digital literacy.

STYLISTIC DEVICES IN FANTASY WORLD CONSTRUCTION: A LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF J.K. ROWLING’S HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE
Durdona Xudoyqulova , Qunduzxon Xasanova

Fantasy literature relies heavily on linguistic creativity to construct imaginary worlds that appear coherent, immersive, and believable to readers. Among contemporary fantasy authors, J.K. Rowling has achieved remarkable success in creating a detailed magical universe through the effective use of language and stylistic techniques. This study investigates the role of stylistic devices in the construction of fantasy worlds in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The primary objective of the research is to identify the most prominent stylistic devices employed in the novel and to analyze their contribution to world-building, characterization, and the representation of magical reality.


The study adopts a qualitative linguostylistic approach and is based on the descriptive, contextual, and interpretative analysis of selected passages from the novel. Particular attention is given to metaphor, simile, personification, epithets, hyperbole, and symbolism. The findings demonstrate that these stylistic devices perform functions that extend beyond aesthetic ornamentation. They facilitate the creation of a distinctive magical atmosphere, provide vivid descriptions of characters and settings, and enable readers to visualize unfamiliar objects, creatures, and phenomena within the fictional universe.


The analysis reveals that metaphor and symbolism play a central role in expressing abstract magical concepts, while personification and simile contribute significantly to the portrayal of Hogwarts and other elements of the wizarding world. Furthermore, stylistic devices enhance narrative engagement by strengthening emotional responses and supporting the reader’s immersion in the fictional environment. The study argues that Rowling’s success in fantasy world-building is closely connected with her strategic use of stylistic resources, which transform ordinary language into a powerful tool of imaginative representation.


The findings contribute to contemporary stylistic and literary-linguistic research by demonstrating how stylistic devices function as essential mechanisms in fantasy discourse. The results may also be valuable for literary scholars, translators, and students interested in fantasy literature and linguistic approaches to literary texts

Multicollinearity was optimized using correlation analysis and the VIF indicator, and the model reliability was confirmed at the level of R²=0.87. A forecast of regional tax revenues for 2025–2027 is presented based on three scenarios - base, optimistic and pessimistic. The results provide a practical basis for the formation of regional fiscal policy and the effective allocation of inter-budget resources

ECONOMIC MECHANISM OF FINANCING PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES: STRUCTURAL AND INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS AND ECONOMETRIC MODELING OF COSTS
Sardor Rahimov

This article considers the theoretical and methodological foundations of the formation and modernization of the economic mechanism for providing financial support to non-state higher education institutions from the perspective of a systematic approach. In the context of deep institutional changes in the educational services market in developing countries, the search for optimal models for the financial sustainability of private educational corporations is becoming increasingly important. An in-depth financial and economic analysis of the structure of gross revenues, operating expenses and consolidated net profit was conducted for six major higher education market participants in the Kashkadarya region based on verified empirical data for 2025. Using applied econometric modeling methods, the author identified and estimated the short-term cost function of the private academic sector using the classical ordinary least squares (OLS) method. A highly significant correlation was found between the total operating costs and the scale of gross income of educational institutions R^2 = $0.95, p<0.001, which indicates the absence of clear economies of scale at the current stage of market institutionalization due to strict institutional constraints and market institutionalization. Conceptual frameworks for reforming the economic mechanism at the macro and meso levels are proposed, including public-private partnerships, tax subsidies, and diversification of financial flows

ASSESSING THE FACTORS AFFECTING FINANCIAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
Azamat Metyakubov , Asrorjon Alimardonov

This article examines the system of factors determining the effectiveness of financial resource management in higher education institutions. The expansion of higher education enrollment, changes in the proportion of government-funded and tuition-based financial resources, and the growing need to finance research and innovation activities require a qualitative improvement in financial management. The purpose of the study is to systematize the factors affecting the formation, allocation, and control of financial resources and to develop an integrated assessment methodology. The research applies a systems approach, comparative analysis of regulatory and legal documents, the indicator method, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), normalization techniques, and sensitivity analysis. The findings classify the influencing factors into five interrelated groups: the institutional and regulatory environment, diversification of funding sources, the quality of internal financial management, the efficiency of resource allocation, and transparency and financial risk management. Based on these groups, a Financial Resource Management Efficiency Index for higher education institutions is proposed. The index can be used to diagnose the financial sustainability and development potential of higher education institutions, identify priority expenditure areas, and improve the quality of managerial decision-making. The research findings may also be applied in developing medium-term financial plans, introducing responsibility centers for budgetary and extra-budgetary funds, and establishing internal financial monitoring systems
