WAYS TO IMPROVE THE METHODOLOGY FOR FINANCING IMPORT AND EXPORT OPERATIONS OF ECONOMIC ENTITIES

Abstract

The article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of financing import–export operations of business entities. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of existing forms and instruments of foreign trade financing, the identification of their limitations, and the development of directions for improving financing methodologies in the context of the economic transformation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The study substantiates the necessity of transitioning from the fragmented use of financial instruments to a comprehensive, risk-oriented, and institutionally coordinated model of financing foreign economic activity. Practical recommendations are proposed to enhance access to financial resources, reduce foreign trade risks, and strengthen the export potential of national enterprises.
