Digitalization of state asset management in ensuring economic security (the case of the republic of Uzbekistan)

In the context of globalization and the accelerated development of digital technologies, ensuring the economic security of states is acquiring strategic importance. State assets, including natural resources, enterprises, infrastructure and other assets, play a vital role in maintaining the stability of the national economy. However, traditional management mechanisms are often accompanied by low transparency and risks of corruption, limiting their effectiveness. This article examines the prospects for digitalization of state asset management processes as a tool for improving the economic security of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The goal of the study is to identify opportunities for strengthening economic security through the introduction of digital technologies into the asset management system. The key objectives are: establishing the relationship between digitalization and economic security; analyzing technologies that facilitate management optimization; studying international and national experience in digital transformation; and developing practical recommendations. The object of the study includes state asset management processes in the national economy of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The subject of the study includes digital tools, technologies and mechanisms used in state asset management, as well as their impact on the country’s economic security. The study utilizes literature analysis, comparison, expert assessments, and statistical data. The analysis revealed that blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data, digital twins and cloud computing are key technologies for improving management efficiency, reducing risks and ensuring operational transparency. The experiences of Singapore, China and Estonia have demonstrated the effectiveness of digital platforms in managing state assets. Uzbekistan’s national initiatives, such as the «Digital Uzbekistan 2030» strategy and the E-Auksion electronic platform, confirm the high potential of digitalization. The recommendations include the creation of a unified digital platform, infrastructure development (5G and data centers), personnel training and improvement of the legal framework. The study’s findings demonstrate that the comprehensive implementation of digital technologies is the key to strengthening economic security and sustainable development.
