The article by Professor Ibragim Mavlanov published in the electronic scientific and practical journal “Human Capital and Labor Protection” focuses on the fact that the country’s share in world exports is the most important macroeconomic indicator directly affecting its status in the world economy. He stresses that the growth of Uzbekistan’s export potential is a key condition for realizing the tasks set by the President, including the strategic goal of joining the ranks of developed countries. Analyzing statistics, Professor Mavlanov demonstrates the positive dynamics of Uzbekistan's export growth in recent years, but points to its inconsistency with the scale achieved by countries with similar or smaller populations.

 

An important place in the article is given to economic diplomacy as a strategic tool for promoting export policy. The author stresses that strengthening foreign economic interaction and supporting exports of services and intellectual property are becoming key areas of export strategy modernization.

 

The author concludes with several practical recommendations, ranging from interagency coordination to radical expansion of services exports. He argues that to achieve the target indicators of the Uzbekistan-2030 Strategy the volume of exports should be increased by 2.5-3 times. Thus, the article is a substantial and well-founded contribution to the scientific and applied discussion on the place of Uzbekistan in the global economy.
