His article examines the current state and development trends of digitalization processes in regional economic development in Uzbekistan. The study analyzes the impact of digital technologies on economic growth, productivity, and the efficiency of business and public administration systems. This section focuses on the extent to which ICT infrastructure, e-government services, digital payments, and IT ecosystems can facilitate the promotion of regional economic performance. We use statistics and comparisons and econometric techniques on official data sources, both national and international. Digitalisation is found to reduce transaction costs, increase labour productivity, expand market access and improve the investment climate. Simultaneously, the study highlights the regional differences in digitalization, in terms of infrastructure, human resources and availability of digital services, a gap that drives a digital divide and constitutes a constraint on balanced economic development. We conclude that experiences in many countries, such as Japan, Korea, India, China, etc. clearly show that Uzbekistan should focus on more holistic development of digital infrastructure, human capital and digital governance policies in order to reap greater economic rewards from digitalization and ensure sustainable regional growth.
