digital technologies. The most important task of the modern economic infrastructure is to ensure the smooth
operation of all sectors of society, to create conditions for production and the development of the economy in
general. At the same time, transport, especially railway transport, is the main component of the industrial and social
infrastructure of Uzbekistan.

changed the life of mankind, providing ample
opportunities, and also marked the beginning of a
period of greater tension in the international
competitive field. The digital economy is used to
represent two completely different concepts. Firstly,
the digital economy is a modern stage of development,
which is characterized by the priority role of creative
work and information benefits. Secondly, the digital
economy is a specific concept, the object of study of
which is the information society. In today's dynamically
developing world economy, the digital economy is at
the initial stage of its development, and the full
transition to the digital information phase of
modernity takes only a few years.
It should be noted that transport, especially rail, is the
main component of the industrial and social
infrastructure of Uzbekistan. Railway transport
organizations provide transportation of goods and
passengers, their storage en route, loading and
unloading of various cargoes, provision of necessary
wagons, their cleaning and connection to the train,
ensure the transport process as a whole. The overall
management and operational management of this
process is currently carried out by Uzbekistan Temir
Yullari JSC. Currently, Uzbekistan has a huge transport
potential and opportunities to meet the needs of the
country in the transportation of goods and passengers
by all modes of transport on existing routes. As of
October 1, 2021, about 18,723 enterprises and
organizations are involved in the transport sector.
Compared to the same period last year, their number
increased by 1,947 units, an increase of 11.6%. At the
same time, the volume of freight turnover of railway
transport amounted to 18,702.3 million. tkm.ni
compared to the corresponding period last year,
amounting to $958.6 million.USA. t-km.ga or an
increase of 5.4%. Geographical differentiation
determines the ability of countries to develop. There
are more than forty countries in the world that do not
have direct access to sea transport, thereby being cut
off from the cheapest mode of transport. Their trade
relations largely depend on the level of development,
transit opportunities and openness of neighboring
countries, and most importantly - on political will.
Uzbekistan attaches special importance to this issue.
Uzbekistan is one of two States in the Central Asian
region that shares all its borders with countries that do
not have direct access to maritime transport, and
borders with countries of the world that not only have
no access to the sea, but also do not have access to sea
routes. Until 1991, in Uzbekistan, neither road, rail, nor
air transport had access to the southern, western and
eastern international transport corridors. There was
only a northerly direction. This has led to limited
communication not only with the outside world, but
also within the country.
Currently, a draft decree of the President of the
Republic of Uzbekistan “on the digital transformation

of railway transport in the Republic of Uzbekistan” is
being developed. In accordance with this, in recent
years, a number of measures have been implemented
in the republic aimed at the development of railway
transport, in particular, the expansion of the network
of electrified railways, the renewal of the railway fleet,
the
modernization
of
railway
infrastructure,
integration into the Eurasian transport corridors, as
well as the development of passenger transportation
by high-speed trains.
At the same time, at present, a number of problems
remain in the railway transport services market,
hindering the competitiveness of railway transport
with an increase in the volume of export (transit) of
services, and the free functioning of the private sector.
In order to widely involve the private sector in the
railway industry, support business entities operating in
this area, ensure the stable functioning of the railway
transport of the Republic, introduce modern
management methods and digitalization of business
processes, as well as the effective use of the transit
potential of the republic, a number of tasks have been
outlined:
•
The concept of development of railway transport
in the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2022-2026;
•
“Roadmap” for the implementation in 2022-2024
of the concept of development of the railway
transport sector in the Republic of Uzbekistan for
2022-2026.
It is planned to approve the proposals of the Ministry
of Transport, the Ministry of Finance, the
Antimonopoly Committee, the Agency for State Asset
Management and attracted international consultants

It can be said that carrying out such work to some
extent will have an impact on the accelerated
development of the economy and will significantly
improve it. In addition, it is advisable to carry out the
following activities in the field of railway transport:
Gradual reduction of subsidies for passenger
transportation at the expense of revenue from
freight and freight transportation;
The transition to subsidies from the state budget, the
development of high-speed passenger transportation,
improving the quality of services provided and the

communication technologies to provide online
services to cargo owners and passengers on the
basis of public-private communication.

scientific, design work and development of digital
technologies.
In general, the economy of digitalization as a separate
branch of the economy exists for two reasons. First,
new economic models are needed, since many
traditional assumptions about information in the
digital world no longer exist. Secondly, new types of
data generated by digitization require new methods of
analysis. In the context of the globalization of the
world economy and the development of technology,
Uzbekistan's economic progress is impossible without
the development of the digital economy.
