Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper analyzes the role of public–private partnerships (PPPs) in Uzbekistan’s recent infrastructure and economic development. Using examples from the energy, healthcare, and transport sectors, it evaluates how PPPs attract private investment, improve service quality, and modernize critical infrastructure. The study highlights progress in building a modern PPP framework aligned with international practices, while noting ongoing challenges such as fiscal risk management and institutional capacity. The findings show that PPPs are becoming an important tool for Uzbekistan’s sustainable growth and offer recommendations to strengthen their long-term effectiveness.
