It highlights the critical role of robust regulatory frameworks, technological advancements, and increased investor participation in fostering efficient markets. Drawing from global best practices and tailored to Uzbekistan’s unique economic structure, the research suggests reforms that could position the country as a regional financial hub while supporting sustainable economic growth (Levine, 1997; IMF, 2023).
