The Results of Reforms Implemented in The Yangiabad District Regarding the Business Cluster

Abstract

This article analyzes the results of reforms implemented in the Yangiabad district concerning the development of a business cluster model. Yangiabad district, located in the Jizzakh region of Uzbekistan, has undergone structural economic transformations aimed at strengthening small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), attracting investment, promoting industrial cooperation, and increasing employment. The reforms were aligned with national strategies for regional industrialization and cluster-based economic growth. The findings indicate significant growth in business density, employment rates, production output, export potential, and entrepreneurial activity following cluster implementation. However, persistent challenges remain in technological upgrading, managerial competence, access to long-term financing, and global market integration. The study concludes that cluster-based reforms in Yangiabad represent a viable regional development model, though their sustainability depends on innovation capacity, governance quality, and continuous institutional support.
