Indeed,in Target 26 of the third direction of the new Development Strategy of Uzbekistan for 2022-2026, adopted by Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, it is expressed to further improve the investment climate and increase its attractiveness and the issue of taking measures to attract $120billion, including $70 billion in foreign investment. Attracting foreign investment in the economy of our country is important to accelerate the expansion of its economic potential, ensuring the economic power of the state through the use of domestic potential and reserves in all areas, the development of new equipment and technology, export-oriented goods, their production.
Analysis and results
The role of foreign investment in the development of the national economy is significant, which is explained by: initially, the introduction of modern techniques and technologies in production and the development of export-oriented products; furthermore, the introduction of import-substituting goods, which will allow to attract foreign investment to priority sectors of the economy and, ultimately, to ensure a decent standard of living for the population; moreover, it will provide jobs for the growing
population through the development of small business, private entrepreneurship, and the acceleration of agricultural production; fourth, it will renew and technically re-equip outdated production facilities, material and technical base of enterprises; finally, it will contribute to the establishment of enterprises that recycle natural resources and increase tax revenues to the state budget. The large-scale attraction of foreign investment in the national economy is due to the need to address the strategic and current challenges of the transition period. As a result of these tasks, investment growth has accelerated in recent years.
Currently, the rapid growth of foreign investment in the economy of Uzbekistan is determined by the following factors: 1) the stability of the investment climate in the country; 2) positive changes in exchange rate regulation; 3) clear directions for improving the country's tax mechanism; 4) development of decisions and laws regulating the activities of foreign investment in the tax legislation; 5) the emergence of a favorable price environment for exporters in world commodity markets; 6 ) nowadays, more than 4.2 thousand enterprises with foreign investment are successfully operating in the leading sectors and industries of the economy. More than $ 3 billion is invested annually, mainly in foreign direct investment, accounting for more than 26.6% of the total investment in the country's economy. This is a clear indication of the growing interest and confidence of foreign investors in the stability of the republic's economy, the prospects for its development.

Conclusions and suggestions
The growing number of new enterprises with foreign investment and the construction of new ones are the result of the state's great attention to this area and the
facilities it provides to them. Therefore, one of the most important issues is to provide economic incentives and create the necessary conditions for enterprises that attract foreign investment to our country. Thus, it is necessary to take the following measures to intensify the attraction of foreign investment in our national economy: first, to reduce the impact of inflation on the growth of the value of investment projects, as well as to further increase the volume of foreign investment; second, to attract investment in the real sector of production, ie in the processing of raw materials; third, to further improve the system of incentives to create a more favorable investment climate for foreign investors, in particular, to reduce the tax burden and simplify the tax system for investors; fourth, to improve the system of implementation of mutually beneficial projects with foreign economic entities and to establish free investment economic zones with them; fifth, systematic industrial development by attracting investors to areas with well-developed infrastructure; sixth, to intensify efforts to attract long-term, low-interest foreign direct credit; seventh, the establishment of state-supported funds for foreign investors based on foreign experienceThe implementation of the above proposals will have a positive impact on further attracting foreign investment to our national economy. This will ultimately enable the full implementation of investment policy in the country in the future, based on the continuous technical and technological renewal of production, the implementation of profound structural changes in the economy, the gradual continuation of modernization and diversification of industry.
