Abstract

 This  article   analyzes  the  role  of  Islamic   finance  in  promoting  financial

inclusion in Uzbekistan. The study examines the core principles of Islamic finance, Shariah- compliant financing instruments, and their impact on poverty reduction, microfinance, and small business  development.  Furthermore,  the  paper  discusses  opportunities  and  challenges  for expanding Islamic  finance  services  in  the  Uzbek  context.  The  findings  suggest  that  Islamic finance can serve as an effective mechanism to enhance financial inclusion and support socio- economic stability.
