The study highlights how BRI projects are transforming Uzbekistan's landscape by significantly enhancing its connectivity and economic integration within Central Asia and beyond. A primary focus is placed on the substantial improvements in transportation infrastructure, such as the modernization of rail and road networks, which are critical for boosting trade and facilitating smoother logistics. Additionally, the study examines advancements in digital connectivity, which are positioning Uzbekistan as a burgeoning technology hub in the region. The analysis also uncovers a set of challenges inherent in this rapid transformation. Financial dependency on external sources and geopolitical risks emerge as significant concerns that could potentially undermine long-term sustainability. The paper discusses the delicate balance between leveraging BRI-driven growth and maintaining national economic autonomy. While the BRI presents substantial opportunities for economic expansion and integration, the study underscores the necessity of careful management and strategic planning to mitigate associated risks. By addressing these challenges through comprehensive policy frameworks and risk assessment mechanisms, Uzbekistan can ensure that the benefits of the BRI lead to sustainable development and solidify its role as a vital economic hub in Central Asia. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
