THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL RATINGS AND INDICES IN INCREASING THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT IN THE COUNTRY
Abstract
This study examines the relationship between key macroeconomic indicators,
including the Human Development Index, Gender, Business, and Law indices, as well as the ease of doing business index and import level, with the inflow of foreign direct investment into Uzbekistan. Using OLS regression, correlation analysis, cointegration tests, and other econometric techniques, the analysis reveals that changes in the Human Development Index, Gender Index, Business and Legal index, and Import level positively correlate with foreign investment inflows. This suggests that human development, gender equality, business environment, and improved import policies play crucial roles in attracting foreign investments.
