Bo‘riyev Shuxrat Xamroqul ugli, Boymurzayev Alovuddin Ramozoп ugli, Xakimov Umidjon ,Abstract
As Central Asia emerges as a pivotal hub in the trans-Eurasian transport network, countries are investing in strategic railway corridors to capture transit trade flows. The Uzbekistan–Kyrgyzstan–China (UKC) railway, still under development, seeks to compete with established routes such as the Kazakhstan–China and Iran–Central Asia corridors. Assessing the transit competitiveness of these corridors is essential for regional policy and investment planning.
