The article reveals the role and significance of creation of a transnational economic corridor
(TNEC) in increasing the level of regional economic cooperation and integration. Economic corridors promote
spatially balanced economic growth and development. But the creation of such a corridor is not an simple
process. Thereby, the article describes the experience of foreign countries in creating an economic corridor and
solving issues related to its creation and development.
Recently, Uzbekistan has introduced certain changes in its political agenda, which created favorable conditions
for using the potential of regional cooperation and integration with neighboring countries as Kazakhstan and
Tajikistan. The purpose of such cooperation and integration is to stimulate economic growth, develop export,
develop trade and economic infrastructure, create new permanent jobs and improve the quality of life of citizens
of these countries. And under current conditions, the creation of transnational economic corridors (TNEC) can
be very beneficial for Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in deepening their economic integration with each
other and the rest of the world. Based on results of the study, this article, along with the positive aspects of
creating an economic corridor, also identifies the main problems that must be taken into account when creating
the transnational economic corridor between Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
