Abstract
ABSTRACT
This paper investigates the challenges and developments in financing working capital within enterprises, particularly in the context of developing economies such as Uzbekistan. Working capital is the lifeblood of business operations, ensuring liquidity and the continuity of production and service cycles. Through empirical observations and statistical assessments, the study analyzes current financial structures, the dependency on internal versus external funding sources, and the role of bank loans in short-term capital maintenance. Based on the findings, the paper proposes practical strategies for optimizing financial management, including diversifying funding sources, improving turnover ratios, and integrating digital financial planning tools. The outcomes suggest that a strategic shift in working capital financing significantly enhances operational efficiency and long-term sustainability.
