This article examines the role of economic openness in enhancing the competitiveness of the service sector. It analyzes how trade liberalization, foreign investment, and technological innovation contribute to the structural transformation of services and strengthen their position in international markets. The research highlights the relationship between a country's integration into the global economy and the performance of its service exports. Using the case of Uzbekistan, the study identifies current challenges, including limited diversification of service exports, underdeveloped infrastructure, and regulatory barriers. The paper proposes solutions aimed at improving institutional frameworks, fostering innovation, and aligning the service sector with international standards to achieve sustainable competitiveness.
