This article examines the impact of government policies on the development of women entrepreneurship in Uzbekistan, highlighting the challenges and opportunities faced by women entrepreneurs. It analyzes the legal and regulatory framework, financial support, training programs, and institutional support. Issues such as access to finance, cultural barriers, and lack of awareness are discussed, as well as opportunities provided by digitalization and international partnerships. The study emphasizes the role of various institutional mechanisms, such as the Women’s Committee of Uzbekistan and the Business Women Association, in creating a supportive environment for women entrepreneurship. Measures to enhance financial literacy among women and their inclusion in professional networks are also considered. Special attention is given to the analysis of successful cases and practices that can be used to further improve support for women entrepreneurs.
