This article develops a methodology for assessing the competitiveness of the service sector and constructing a
multi-level institutional-economic model. The study integrates official statistics, composite index methods, normalization
procedures, expert weighting, and scenario analysis. Special attention is given to Qashqadaryo Region as an empirical
case, since the region combines urban service centers, rural districts, tourism potential, and a significant share of small
business activity within the service sector. The proposed Service Sector Competitiveness Index includes indicators
such as market scale, growth dynamics, diversification, SME participation, digital readiness, human capital, territorial
accessibility, and institutional support.
The scientific novelty of the study lies in combining statistical assessment and institutional modeling into a unified practical
algorithm for regional policy development. The results demonstrate that competitiveness cannot be evaluated solely by
the volume of services provided; it should also be assessed through service quality, accessibility, innovation, governance
efficiency, and feedback indicators. The article additionally proposes a monitoring matrix and policy scenarios aimed at
improving regional competitiveness.
