Abstract
This article analyzes the main factors influencing the investment attractiveness of specialized regions in Uzbekistan. The study utilized methods of economic and statistical analysis, the regression method, and comparative analysis. For the study, data on investment indicators, the state of infrastructure, the logistics system, and tax preferences for the period from 2015 to 2025 were studied. The results showed that the development of transport and logistics infrastructure, tax incentives, and institutional conveniences have a significant impact on investment flows. The favorable investment climate created in free economic zones contributes to an increase in the volume of foreign investment. As a result of the study, scientific and practical recommendations were developed to increase the investment attractiveness of specialized regions.
