According to data from the Central Bank, June was the first month since December to see a reduction in Uzbekistan’s international reserves.
As of July 1, the total value of the regulator’s reserves stood at $48.54 billion – down by $1.15 billion or 2.25% compared to the record-high figure of $49.66 billion reported the previous month.
The value of gold held by the Central Bank rose by $763 million to reach $38.41 billion, setting a new record. This growth was driven by an increase in gold volume from 11.4 million to 11.7 million troy ounces.
In contrast, Uzbekistan’s foreign currency reserves dropped significantly in June – by $1.88 billion. The volume of foreign currency reserves fell from $10.74 billion to $8.85 billion.

Additionally, the volume of securities purchased by the Central Bank increased by $2.5 million in June, reaching $708.8 million. These securities accounted for 1.46% of the total gold and foreign currency reserves.
