The effective development and functioning of regions largely depends not only on all types of resources available to them : production , labor , financial , natural , innovation , but also on the rational use and implementation of a sound investment policy. The latter should include managing the distribution of investment resources in the region to obtain themaхimumpossibleresult from the investment potentialof theregion. In economic Research on the problem of state regional policy is considered in various aspects , such as the relationship between levels of regional policy (state and local), the difference between objects and subjects of regulation, the methods used and means of attracting investment resources , the role of regional authorities in implementing regional policy and ensuring sustainable socio-economic development of regions, coordinating the interests of the state center and regions, solving problems of socio-economic development of regions based on the use ia competitive advantages, taking into account regional aspects of various types of policies, interaction of regions in a single economic space, differentiation of social and economic development ofregions [1-5]. Priorities and principles of regional policy. State socio- economic policy is a concentrated reflection of the interests of society, and it is the interests of society that are the incentive and engine of social development. At thesame time, it is necessary to take into account thefact that society is heterogeneous. It is represented by various groups of the population united bycommoninterests. The goal underlying the state economic policy is aimed at uniting the interests of the entire society and is to create a competitive economy that ensures the socially oriented development of the country and its security. The key elements of socio-economic policy are categories such as priorities and principles for implementingthese priorities. Priorities of state socio-economic policy are a well-founded set of priority tasks for the socio-economic development of the state, the solution of which is aimed at achieving strategic goals. The principles for implementing state socio-economic policy in relation to the problem of socio-economic development represent the methodological basis of the management system and reflect the objective laws of socio-economic development. The principles may be mutually contradictory. For eхample, the principle of economic efficiency is associated with the pattern of searching for solutions that minimize production costs. If this minimization occurs due to lower page207 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue03,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai wages and reduced costs for environmental protection measures, then this will conflict with the principleofsocial justice and theprincipleof environmental safety. Creating an effective management system is about finding a balance in the use of established principles. The implementation of the principles should be reflected in the legislative framework underlying the management system and used instrument meanism of the control system. Speaking about regional policy, it should be said that it is not unambiguous and multifaceted [6-9]. Result.The first direction can bedefined as “stateregional policy,”thesubject ofwhich is understood as the spatial organization of the economy and the living conditions of the population. At the heart of spatial development The state is responsible for the social division of labor and the distribution of productive forces that ensures the most efficient use of resource potential. In the system of state regional policy, regions are objects of management, in relation to which the state makes fundamental decisions that determine the future specialization and role in thesocio-economic development of thestate. State regional policy, first of all, will be reflected in the system of documents that are developed by ministries and departments . For eхample, it is presented in the “Strategy for the Development of New Uzbekistan for 2022 - 2026”, Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan,dated January 28,2022No.UP-60 1. Among the priorities of this concept are: the formation of a new supporting framework of the country from regions - “ locomotives of growth”; formation of regional module
