This article explores the role of inclusive institutions in enhancing national competitiveness in the context of Uzbekistan’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). As Uzbekistan undertakes deep economic reforms to align with WTO standards, the formation and functionality of inclusive institutions — those that uphold rule of law, secure property rights, ensure fair market access, and promote transparency — become crucial for translating liberalization into sustainable development. Using a comparative analysis with Vietnam’s post-accession experience, the study highlights Uzbekistan’s progress in trade facilitation, investment protection, and judicial reform. However, it also identifies gaps in regulatory independence, SME support, and institutional enforcement. The paper concludes that WTO membership alone is not sufficient; rather, it must be accompanied by the consolidation of inclusive, transparent, and accountable institutions to ensure that Uzbekistan remains competitive in the global economy.
