ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE VOLUME OF IMPORTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

This article conducts an empirical analysis of the main factors affecting Uzbekistan's import volume for the period 2013-2024, including GDP and exchange rate. According to the results obtained using the OLS regression method, it was found that GDP has a positive and statistically significant effect on import volume. The exchange rate, on the other hand, did not have a significant effect on imports during this period. The results of the study are important for improving the country's foreign trade policy.
