This article analyzes the opportunity to increase the investment attractiveness of free economic zones by improving the “International Trade” indicators in the Doing Business rating of Uzbekistan. One of the problems hindering the penetration of investments into free economic zones is the fact that the price and time of export and import are relatively high compared to other countries in the region. Countries with high performance in these indicators will not only have sufficient conditions for business development, but also will be attractive for their investment attractiveness and reliability for foreign economic activity. However, there was a three-point decline in international trade. Linking this to the above, we can see that declining the share of small business and private entrepreneurship in the export of goods and services changed in a straight proportion, and the share of small business and private entrepreneurship in the imports of goods and services reversed showed inversely proportional changes. Moreover, the high costs of exports and imports can be explained by the high costs of transport infrastructure in the country. Part of the problem is the lack of access to the waterways, on-compliance of highways with world standards, the high level of railway transportation costs, and the inadequacy of international airports are the other parts of the problem. The same ratings can be seen in the Doing Business rating, which is analyzed by the World Bank. |
