Abstract
This article analyzes the recent development trends of housing policy in the Republic of Uzbekistan and its impact on socio-economic processes. During the research, factors such as the increase in housing construction volume, the expansion of the mortgage lending system, the acceleration of urbanization processes, and changes in housing market prices were studied through a comprehensive approach. The results indicate that housing policy plays an important role not only in stimulating economic activity but also in improving the living standards of the population. At the same time, issues such as rising housing prices, infrastructure-related challenges, and regional disparities still persist.
