Abstract

This article examines the challenges and effective strategies involved in translating economic terminology and concepts between Arabic and Uzbek. Key difficulties are analyzed, including lexical gaps, cultural disparities, polysemy, semantic ambiguity, and the pervasive influence of English as a global economic lingua franca. The morphological and syntactic differences between the two language families are also discussed as significant structural hurdles. The study evaluates translation strategies — borrowing, transliteration, calque, adaptation, descriptive translation, and neologism creation — through practical examples drawn from Islamic finance, market economy concepts, and specific economic indicators.
