The study examines the efficiency and strategic impact of investment resource utilization in Namangan Region, focusing on spatial disparities and resource allocation effectiveness across districts. The primary objective is to assess how investment processes influence regional economic development and to identify key factors determining their efficiency. The research applies a mixed methodological approach, combining Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate relative efficiency and comparative analysis to explore strategic investment models. Empirical evidence indicates that despite significant growth in investment volumes over recent years, their distribution remains uneven, leading to variations in economic outcomes across districts. The findings highlight that infrastructure development, institutional quality, and market accessibility play a critical role in enhancing investment efficiency and maximizing strategic impact. The study proposes a differentiated (place-based) investment policy framework aimed at improving resource allocation and fostering balanced regional development in Namangan Region.
