Аннотация
This study evaluates the technical efficiency of five leading telecommunications operators in Central Asia—Uzbektelecom, Kazakhtelecom, Kcell, Uzmobile, and Beeline Uzbekistan—using the DEA-CCR (Data EnvelopmentAnalysis, Constant Returns to Scale) model developed by Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes (1978) over the period 2020–2025.The results indicate that the technical efficiency of Uzbektelecom JSC (CCR = 0.76) remains below that of regionalpeers, suggesting an efficiency reserve of approximately 24%. The Malmquist Total Factor Productivity (TFP) index isestimated at 1.46 for 2020–2025, reflecting overall productivity growth driven by both technological progress (TC = 1.24)and efficiency improvement (EC = 1.18).Slack analysis further identifies quantitative reserves in key resources, particularly CAPEX allocation and workforceutilization. The findings provide practical insights for the management of Uzbektelecom JSC in optimizing resourceallocation and strengthening digital transformation strategies
