The price of one gram of gold now stands at 1,197,760 UZS – an increase of 780 UZS, or 0.065%, compared to Friday. A 5-gram gold bar is sold for 5.989 million UZS.

On the global market, the price of gold saw a slight correction, with a troy ounce now priced at $2,779, reflecting a 0.6% decrease from the previous day.

The Central Bank began selling gold coins to the public in 2018, and two years later, it introduced gold bars. Private buyers are allowed to export them from Uzbekistan under certain conditions.

These initiatives were aimed at reducing Uzbekistan’s dependence on foreign currency. Additionally, according to experts, increased access to gold will provide more investment opportunities and help safeguard citizens' savings.

Gold coins and bars can be bought and sold through commercial banks. Prices are updated daily and made available on the Central Bank's website and its Telegram bot.

According to the most recent data from the Central Bank, by September 2023, Uzbek citizens held 255 kg of standard gold bars, with the most popular being 10-gram bars.

Between 2021 and 2023, the Central Bank minted 3,550 gold commemorative coins in five series, totaling 72 kg. By October 2024, the regulator had sold all of the coins issued up to that point.
