Abstract

This article presents and analyzes the World Bank Group's relations with member countries, the activities of the World Bank and its projects worldwide, its importance in strategic reforms in the Republic of Uzbekistan, their results, and growth indicators. This article explores the multifaceted activities of the World Bank in Uzbekistan and analyzes its critical role in the implementation of strategic reforms across various sectors of the country. In recent years, Uzbekistan has embarked on an ambitious path of economic, social, and institutional reforms aimed at enhancing governance, improving public services, and fostering sustainable economic growth. The World Bank, as a key international financial institution, has significantly contributed to this transformation through financial support, technical assistance, and capacity-building initiatives. The article examines the major World Bank-funded projects in sectors such as education, healthcare, agriculture, energy, and infrastructure, as well as its policy advisory role in shaping reform agendas. Special attention is given to the effectiveness, transparency, and long-term impact of these reforms. The study also highlights challenges and recommendations for further strengthening the partnership between Uzbekistan and the World Bank in achieving inclusive and resilient development.
