ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF INVESTMENT PROJECTS IN UZBEKISTAN: ON THE EXAMPLE OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
Keywords:
investment, infrastructure projects, economic efficiency, cost-benefit analysis, UzbekistanAbstract
This article analyzes the economic efficiency of investment projects in Uzbekistan, focusing on
infrastructure projects in transport and energy sectors. The study examines cost-benefit ratios, return on investment, and social impacts. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative analysis (of legislation and
project documents) and quantitative analysis (of statistical data for 2020–2024). Findings indicate that infrastructure
projects contribute to economic growth, but financial constraints, legislative ambiguities, and skill shortages persist.
Recommendations tailored to Uzbekistan’s context are provided.
