UZBEKISTAN’S STRATEGIC PIVOT TOWARD INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC INTEGRATION

M.B. Muxtarova , Asia international university, Bukhara, Uzbekistan

Abstract

This article examines Uzbekistan’s strategic transformation from post-Soviet isolation to proactive international economic integration, with reforms accelerated under President Shavkat Mirziyoyev since 2016. The analysis emphasizes how the country’s foreign economic strategy until 2030 institutionalizes macroeconomic stability, export competitiveness, and sustainable integration into global value chains. Uzbekistan’s geoeconomic positioning within Eurasia enables it to leverage China’s Belt and Road Initiative, expand trade partnerships with BRICS, and strengthen bilateral relations with major powers including China and Japan. At the regional level, Uzbekistan pursues cross-border cooperation through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, maintains observer status in the Eurasian Economic Union, and enhances ties with neighboring states. The paper also highlights domestic reforms supported by international financial institutions, the development of free economic zones, and efforts to modernize infrastructure, digitize the economy, and establish a favorable investment climate. Challenges remain in overcoming structural constraints such as raw material dependency, limited capital market depth, and labor market skill mismatches. Nevertheless, by aligning national development goals with multilateral initiatives and strengthening bilateral engagements, Uzbekistan is consolidating its role as a pivotal actor in Eurasian economic architecture.
