This study examines the key development directions of the digital economy in Uzbekistan, with a particular focus on the national strategy “Digital Uzbekistan–2030.” Despite growing interest globally, significant knowledge gaps remain regarding the localised impact of digital transformation policies in emerging economies. To address this, the research applies qualitative analysis of policy documents, statistical indicators, and sectoral reforms across public administration, education, industry, and commerce. The findings reveal that the “Digital Uzbekistan–2030” strategy has substantially accelerated the integration of digital technologies, improved the accessibility of public services, and increased economic competitiveness. For instance, by 2020, over 70% of government services had been digitised, and e-commerce demonstrated 35% growth. Initiatives such as “Digital School” and “Digital University” have improved education delivery, while industrial digitalisation has enhanced productivity and reduced operational costs. However, the analysis also identifies challenges, particularly in infrastructure gaps and regional disparities in digital literacy and access. These limitations suggest a need for stronger intersectoral collaboration, targeted infrastructure investment, and broader digital skills training. The implications of this research emphasise that while the digital economy holds transformative potential for Uzbekistan, sustained strategic implementation and inclusive digital policies are essential for long-term success.
