sectors and regions and economic subjects. At the

same time, the role of commercial banks as financial

intermediaries affects the restructuring of economic

sectors depending on the objective consumption of

production for the effective development of the

economy. Today, the improvement of personnel

management in commercial banks serves to increase

the number of new types of financial services and

expand the field of activity. Many people have simple

ideas about commercial banks. They think of it as a

place to save money, make time deposits, sign up for a

credit card, or get a loan, but commercial banks have a

highly regulated system that connects them to the

broader financial system. A bank is a building, people,

processes and services - a mechanism for raising more

capital and distribution that the management and

board of directors believe will generate the best

returns. By effectively allocating capital, the bank will

make more profit and the stock price will increase. In

this regard, the bank provides services to the above-

mentioned consumer. Temporarily free money in

society attracts funds on the basis of appropriate

conditions. It provides funds to businesses and

residents in need of additional financial resources on

the basis of repayment, term and security.

Literature analysis

A number of foreign and domestic scientists and

researchers worked to determine the place of

commercial banks in the economy. Studying their work

enriches the literature review part of our research. We

will consider some of these studies.

According to Dilmurod Mamasalievich's research, the

practice of providing consumer loans was thoroughly

studied by economists and necessary scientific

conclusions were formed.

It was explained that in 2018, a total of about 15.4

trillion soums of loans were allocated, of which the

share of consumer loans was 52.6 percent, and in 2019,

this figure decreased to 42.0 percent. According to this

statistical analysis, banks' consumer loans in order to

improve its practice, it is necessary to solve the

following problems: - lack of reliable information about

the credit history of prospective borrowers; - failure to

improve the system for assessing the creditworthiness

of consumer credit recipients; it was determined that

the supply of consumer loans is insufficient

Dilmurod Mamasalievich's research shows that as the

amount of consumer credit increases, the income level

of the population increases and the bank's resource

base is strengthened.

According to this study, it was found that the allocation

of consumer loans is very important in the activity of

commercial banks of Uzbekistan.

Decision of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan

"On additional measures to increase the popularity of

banking services" dated 23.03.2018. No. PQ-3620, it

should be noted that the necessary legal and legal

framework for its implementation has been formed,

development, the licensing system has been

significantly simplified and liberalized, and the

modernization of the banking system is complete.

The main purpose of the research is aimed at the

development of "Internet banking" and "Sms

banking". at his place of work or in other convenient

conditions:

- transfer of payments;

- monitoring the stages of payment;

- we see that all operations, such as receiving all

reports, are made available at any time. It is assumed in

the study that through Internet banking, the client can

connect to the bank's website from his workplace and

see the money coming into his account, prepare

money transfers and send them to the bank, which

makes it convenient for clients.

According to the research of Dr. Mritunjay Kumar

Manish, the role of commercial banks in economic

growth depends on their role as financial

intermediaries. The main objective of this study is to

critically analyze the role of commercial banks in

economic growth in India. This study shows how credit

and loans affect the gross domestic product (GDP) and

consequently the rate of economic growth in India. It

also helps to increase the level of employment which

contributes to the economic development of the

country. .

Several scholars have studied the relationship between

commercial banks and economic growth. Kalpana and

Rao believe that the measurement of economic

growth is difficult to answer. Because developed

countries combine the three component indicators of

the economy, commercial banks affect the economy

through the growth and decrease of credit and

investments. Commercial banks are the key to the

economy (Ananwude and Okoye)"

Levine St. Paul (1997) added the importance of liquid

assets of commercial banks. Economic growth and

financial improvement of Banks increases due to

activities such as stock marketing and economic

management. At the same time, the increase of banks

emphasizes the importance of their place in the

economy. It is important to increase financial

investments in banks for the realization of economic

development. Smith (1991) asserts that this is because

customers are encouraged to invest their savings in the

economy and this is an incentive to realize economic

growth.

Angela Romana, Alina Kamelia Sargub Central and

Europe countries have studied the increase and

decrease in the level of liquidity of banks and the

impact on the country's economy.

The strategies carried out by banks are considered a

factor affecting the increase or decrease of their

liquidity level. During the crisis, the policy of banks is

mainly risk-taking.

the statistical analysis of our research within the

framework of the banks of Uzbekistan; We selected

inclusion by providing access to banking services to

individuals and businesses throughout the country. It

helps

stimulate

savings,

investment

and

entrepreneurship, which are necessary for economic

development.

In recent years, Uzbekistan has implemented serious

reforms aimed at increasing the stability and efficiency

of the banking sector. As a result of these reforms,

competition has increased, risk management practices

have improved, and modern banking technologies

have been introduced.

Lending activities of commercial banks support various

sectors of the economy, including agriculture,

enterprises. By providing loans and credit, banks

contribute to business expansion, job creation and

overall economic growth.

policy of encouraging crediting of priority sectors and

supporting strategic sectors. This encouraged banks to

invest in key sectors such as infrastructure

development, energy and export-oriented industries,

thereby encouraging economic diversification.
