This article presents a scientific and practical analysis of the internal and external factors shaping the
financial sustainability of industrial enterprises, with a particular focus on the oil and gas sector of Uzbekistan. Using
a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative financial ratio analysis with qualitative expert assessments, the
study systematically classifies the key determinants of financial sustainability and examines the mechanisms through
which they exert direct and indirect influence. The findings reveal that macroeconomic volatility, currency fluctuations,
and regulatory uncertainty constitute the primary external threats, while capital structure optimization, asset turnover
efficiency, and strategic reinvestment decisions are the most significant internal drivers. A novel integrated framework for
assessing the combined impact of internal and external factors is proposed, enabling enterprise managers to develop
targeted mitigation strategies. The practical implications extend to policy recommendations for strengthening the financial
resilience of industrial enterprises operating under conditions of economic instability.
