This paper examines the trade dynamics of landlocked Central Asia, with a particular focus on Uzbekistan. The geographical disadvantages of Uzbekistan, a double landlocked country, significantly impede its trade competitiveness due to high transportation costs and prolonged transit times. Historically dependent on exports of commodities such as cotton, gold, and natural gas, Uzbekistan’s economy remains vulnerable to global market fluctuations. To mitigate these challenges and enhance its trade potential, the study underscores the necessity of diversifying into value-added sectors and improving trade logistics infrastructure. By employing the gravity model of trade, the paper evaluates the impact of trade facilitation measures on bilateral trade volumes within the Central Asian region. The findings highlight the critical role of infrastructure development, customs modernization, and regional cooperation in bolstering Uzbekistan’s trade efficiency. The analysis reveals that countries with advanced trade facilitation measures engage in higher trade volumes with Uzbekistan, suggesting that strategic investments in transport infrastructure and regulatory reforms are pivotal. These efforts are essential for integrating Uzbekistan more effectively into global markets and fostering economic growth within the region.

Ushbu maqola dengizga chiqa olmagan Markaziy Osiyoning savdo dinamikasini oʻrganadi, bunda Oʻzbekistonga alohida eʼtibor beriladi. Ikki dengizga chiqish imkoniyati mavjud bo‘lmagan O‘zbekistonning geografik kamchiliklari yuqori transport xarajatlari va uzoq tranzit vaqtlari tufayli uning savdo raqobatbardoshligiga sezilarli darajada to‘sqinlik qiladi. Tarixan paxta, oltin va tabiiy gaz kabi mahsulotlar eksportiga qaram bo‘lgan O‘zbekiston iqtisodiyoti jahon bozoridagi tebranishlarga nisbatan zaifligicha qolmoqda. Ushbu muammolarni yumshatish va uning savdo salohiyatini oshirish uchun tadqiqot qo‘shimcha qiymat qo‘shadigan sektorlarda diversifikatsiya qilish va savdo logistika infratuzilmasini yaxshilash zarurligini ta’kidlaydi. Savdoning tortishish modelidan foydalangan holda, maqola Markaziy Osiyo mintaqasidagi ikki tomonlama savdo hajmiga savdoni yengillashtirish choralarining ta’sirini baholaydi. Natijalar O‘zbekistonning savdo samaradorligini oshirishda infratuzilmani rivojlantirish, bojxona modernizatsiyasi va mintaqaviy hamkorlikning muhim rolini ta’kidlaydi. Tahlil shuni ko‘rsatadiki, savdoni yengillashtirish bo‘yicha ilg‘or chora-tadbirlarga ega bo‘lgan mamlakatlar O‘zbekiston bilan savdo hajmini oshirmoqda, bu esa transport infratuzilmasi va tartibga soluvchi islohotlarga strategik sarmoya kiritish muhim ahamiyatga ega ekanligini ko‘rsatmoqda. Bu sa’y-harakatlar O‘zbekistonning jahon bozorlariga yanada samarali integratsiyalashuvi va mintaqada iqtisodiy o‘sishni rag‘batlantirish uchun muhim ahamiyatga ega.

В данной статье рассматривается динамика торговли в Центральной Азии, не имеющей выхода к морю, с особым акцентом на Узбекистан. Географические недостатки Узбекистана, страны, не имеющей выхода к морю, значительно затрудняют его торговую конкурентоспособность из-за высоких транспортных расходов и длительного времени транзита. Исторически зависящая от экспорта таких товаров, как хлопок, золото и природный газ, экономика Узбекистана остается уязвимой к колебаниям мирового рынка. Для смягчения этих проблем и повышения торгового потенциала в исследовании подчеркивается необходимость диверсификации в секторах с добавленной стоимостью и улучшения инфраструктуры торговой логистики. Используя гравитационную модель торговли, в статье оценивается влияние мер по упрощению процедур торговли на объемы двусторонней торговли в регионе Центральной Азии. Результаты подчеркивают важную роль развития инфраструктуры, модернизации таможни и регионального сотрудничества в повышении эффективности торговли Узбекистана. Анализ показывает, что страны с передовыми мерами по упрощению процедур торговли осуществляют более высокие объемы торговли с Узбекистаном, что свидетельствует о том, что стратегические инвестиции в транспортную инфраструктуру и реформы регулирования имеют решающее значение. Эти усилия имеют важное значение для более эффективной интеграции Узбекистана в мировые рынки и содействия экономическому росту в регионе.
