Introduction. In today's era of globalization, digital economy and deepening market relations, increasing the economic literacy of the population is considered an important factor in the sustainable and inclusive development of any society. Especially in the conditions of Uzbekistan, where economic reforms are being implemented on a large scale, the issue of increasing the level of financial and economic knowledge of citizens remains one of the priorities of state policy. The population's understanding of economic processes, a conscious attitude to budget and tax policy, and informed adoption of consumption and investment decisions are one of the guarantees of economic stability and social justice in the country. The role of the native language - that is, the Uzbek language - is extremely important in this process. Because the dissemination of economic knowledge and concepts to the public, their teaching in the education system, and their coverage in official documents and the media cannot be carried out effectively without the native language. At the same time, there are a number of systemic problems in Uzbekistan in terms of adapting economic terms to the Uzbek language, their understanding by the population, and their implementation in life. This requires specific approaches to the formation of economic literacy, namely, taking into account national mentality, language capabilities, and means of information delivery. Main part. The process of forming economic literacy in the Uzbek language should be analyzed not only at the intersection of linguistics and economics, but also https://scientific-jl.org/obr 3 7 0 Выпуск журнала №-69 Часть–1_ Мая –2025 ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ НАУКА И ИННОВАЦИОННЫЕ ИДЕИ В МИРЕ 2181-3187 at the intersection of social consciousness and institutional approaches.

In world experience, this concept is considered in a broad sense in combination with financial literacy. However, in the conditions of Uzbekistan, this issue requires a specific approach, based on language, culture and mentality. Because there are linguistic and conceptual problems in expressing economic concepts in the Uzbek language, which can prevent citizens from fully and correctly understanding economic knowledge [1]. Language is one of the main factors determining the level of economic literacy as a means of popularizing knowledge. However, most economic terms are not directly translated into Uzbek, or even when translated, their meaning remains incomprehensible to the general public. For example, terms such as “inflation”, “monetary policy”, “capital circulation” are often preserved in a foreign form without being explained in their Uzbek equivalents. This reduces the public’s confidence in economic processes and limits their active participation [2]. Therefore, reinterpreting economic terms based on the national language, bringing them closer to the people’s mentality, and presenting them to the public in understandable contexts has become an urgent issue.
