development of small business entities, special
emphasis is made to the comprehensive and
proportionate socio-economic development of
regions, districts, and cities.
The growth of small businesses positively impacts
the development of the nation's economy in many
sectors, yet small businesses risk failing in the
absence of government support. (Table 1).

Networks 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 (+,-)
Industry 62.4 56.0 55.7 54.9 51.8 -10.6
Construction 37.4 25.8 27.9 27.0 25.9 -11.5

Import 27.2 27.0 20.5 22.3 29.5 2.3
The figure indicates that 29.5% of imports come from
small businesses and individual entrepreneurship. It
is evident that, in comparison to other years, the share
of industry, construction, employment, and export
indicators has dropped.
Since small businesses play such a significant role
in the nation's economic and social landscape, most
nations are creating policies and legislation to support
the growth of small businesses. As of right now, there
are substantial differences between the small
company assistance systems created in various
nations with regard to the basic principles of
economic policy, the determination of priorities, the
allocation of cash, and the budgetary resources
involved.
One of the most important issues in increasing
employment today is the rapid development of small
business entities, providing them with ample
opportunities and privileges, and comprehensive
support and encouragement of small business entities
is considered the most important direction of
reforming the real economy.

entrepreneurship in the Republic of Uzbekistan
Of course, the use of small businesses is of great
importance in positively changing the employment of
the population in the labor market. In this regard,
small businesses can mitigate and, if necessary,
reduce many problems related to the impact of socio-
economic factors in the field of employment.
Given the significance of small businesses to the
economy, the state's middle-class policy strives to
establish and foster as many effective, quickly
growing small businesses as it can. In addition to
addressing the aforementioned issues of guaranteeing
population employment, this work aims to
accomplish the objectives of the regional anti-
monopoly policy and the environmental protection
policy. A high degree of healthy competition is
ensured by a large number of small businesses.
Additionally, a large number of small businesses can
help prevent or limit the excessive concentration of
political and economic power in the hands of a few.
At the moment, small businesses in the Republic
of Uzbekistan are actively involved in helping to
resolve a variety of regional economic and social
issues. Its operations support the economy's
restructuring, the formation of new ownership entities,
the middle class, the creation of a competitive
environment, the supply of goods and services on the
market, and the resolution of employment issues. The
market economy, which is distinguished by unique
mobility, flexibility, and high efficiency, depends
heavily on small businesses.
4 CONCLUSION
Small business entities are given access to special
programs and structures that are funded by the state
budget to help them implement promising scientific
and technological advancements, re-equip small
businesses with modern equipment, and train and
retrain staff members for small and medium-sized
