MECHANISMS AND DIRECTIONS FOR DEEPENING REGIONAL INTEGRATION PROCESSES IN CENTRAL ASIA

Abstract

This article analyzes the mechanisms and priority directions for deepening regional integration
processes in Central Asia. The study highlights the importance of trade and economic relations, transport and
logistics infrastructure, industrial cooperation, energy collaboration, the digital economy, and investment
integration among the countries of the region. In the context of global economic transformations, strengthening
mutual cooperation among Central Asian states is considered an important factor in expanding access to external
markets, increasing transit potential, and ensuring economic security. The article substantiates the need to simplify
customs procedures, modernize multimodal transport corridors, expand joint industrial projects, and introduce
digital trade platforms to promote regional integration
