The research investigates various economic, institutional, and policy factors that attract or deter international investors in the country's manufacturing and industrial development. Using statistical methods and econometric modeling, the study evaluates the relative importance of factors such as market size, labor costs, infrastructure quality, regulatory environment, and economic reforms in driving FDI flows. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders to enhance Uzbekistan's investment climate and industrial competitiveness. This analysis is particularly relevant given Uzbekistan's ongoing economic liberalization and its strategic goal of modernizing and diversifying its industrial base through increased foreign investment.
