Abstract

Investment is the key to economic recovery, and various countries constantly grapple with the same problem: how to attract it. The creation of special economic zones in one form or another is one of the effective macroeconomic tools for attracting foreign investment into the economy. This article examines SEZs in the context of their impact on the regions of Uzbekistan and provides an analysis of their current development. The analysis and systematization of SEZs allows us to draw conclusions about development trends, the need to create export-oriented enterprises, and strengthen the assessment of their activities and contribution to the economies of Uzbekistan's regions.

Keywords:

special economic zones economy investment region ranking participating enterprise
