Abstract: In order to assess the possibility of applying the mathematical apparatus to Uzbekistan’s foreign economic activity, the data on export-import commodity flows released on the UNCTAD website and provided by the State Customs Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan were compared, and significant discrepancies were identified, especially in terms of exports of goods from the Republic. Based on the analysis of the documents of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the quality indicators of national statistics of the World Bank, the main areas of improvement in Uzbekistan’s external sector statistics, as well as the role played by the IMF, are described.
