Family entrepreneurship plays a critical role in Uzbekistan’s socio-economic development, especially in promoting employment, reducing poverty, and enhancing regional development. However, limited access to affordable financial resources continues to constrain growth. This paper explores the current state of family entrepreneurship financing in Uzbekistan, identifies key challenges, and proposes mechanisms for improving access to bank credit. Statistical analysis and comparative evaluation of lending practices are presented. Policy recommendations are provided to align banking mechanisms with the long-term objectives of inclusive economic growth.
