Accordingly, it was noted that the development strategy for the next five years will consist of seven directions and priority tasks were determined.

GDP per capita by 1.6 times in the next five years and to increase the income per capita to 4 thousand US dollars by 2030 and "income above the average continuous work is being done on the issue of creating a foundation for entering the ranks of In addition, along with the formation of the labor market, the issues of ensuring the employment of the population and radical diversification of agriculture are being promoted. It is also an effective solution for reducing poverty.
Economic development, regardless of the example of any country, is formed at the expense of taxes directly applicable in the country with the issue of money supply of the state budget. It was reported that the total tax source in 2022 amounted to 200 trillion soums, and compared to 2021, it increased by almost 30 trillion soums. Its share in the economy should cover 90% from the point of view of the composition of the state budget, and the remaining 10% should be formed in exchange for other mandatory payments and state duties. However, the development of countries today also requires the strengthening of macroeconomic relations. The most important process in this regard includes foreign debt policy. To give an example, according to the official information of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the 5-year statistics were interpreted as follows. Including: by the end of 2020, the state's external debt is 5.4 billion. dollar or increased by 34.4% compared to the beginning of the year and reached 21.1 billion as of January 1, 2021. against the dollar or 36.5% compared to GDP, against the background of complex geopolitical situations, the growth of Uzbekistan's economy will be 5.7% in 2022, the total public debt will be 33.5 billion dollars or 45.2% compared to GDP by the end of 2022 was predicted to arrive. Of this, the state's foreign debt amounted to 30.4 billion dollars or 41 percent of GDP. It was assumed that 66 percent of the expected budget deficit in 2022 would be covered by external sources. In 2023, the state foreign debt is forecasted to be 32 billion dollars32. It was reported that budget revenues are planned in the amount of 311 trillion soums, and expenses in the amount of 344 trillion sums, while the consolidated budget is expected to reach 32.5 trillion soums 33. This year, in accordance with the decision of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PQ-471 of December 30, 2022, the minimum amounts of the parameters of the state budget by local-territorial sections are forecast as follows:

According to this information, the inflation rate in Uzbekistan is forecast to be 12 percent in 2022, and to decrease to 9.5 percent in 2023, the Minister of Finance announced in an official statement. As another important indicator, the refinancing rate is also noted as an element that has a major impact on the economy. At the meeting on March 16, 2023, the Central Bank Board decided to lower the key rate by 1% from 15% to 14% per annum 35. The last time the 14% rate was valid at the beginning of 2018 and at the end of 2020, after a year and a half, in March 2022, the Central Bank suddenly increased the rate by three percentage points to 17%.
These important indicators also play an important role in the foreign economic activity of the country. If we look at the example of GDP alone, we can see it as one of the critical issues put forward in the Development Strategy. After all, as the main goal of the development strategy, it included the directions of increasing the size of the country's GDP and ensuring the well-being of the

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
In short, in this important conceptual document, in order to ensure the integrity and continuity of our reforms, the principle "From Action Strategy to Development Strategy" becomes the main idea and main criterion.
In conclusion, it can be said that the development strategy of New Uzbekistan will start a new stage of our national development. Today, there is no doubt that the results of the radical reforms will serve to provide comprehensive support to entrepreneurs, to ensure the well-being of the population, and to prevent negative consequences that may affect their activities. In this regard, we are witnessing that the reforms carried out by our President are showing the result. There are several strategic tasks for the further development of the economy of new Uzbekistan. It is necessary to carry out consistent structural reforms to ensure the new Development Strategy. Based on the results of the comparison, the strong strategic approach carried out in our country after the pandemic period is also improving step by step, as we can see. Of course, "From the strategy of actions to the strategy of development" put forward by the President as the main criteria. Science and innovation will undoubtedly become the main pillars in the implementation of the idea. I am confident that these efforts will pay off in the next period as well, and that our country will develop in all respects and take a worthy place in the world community.
