According to the Central Bank, as of January 1, 2026, Uzbekistan's international reserves reached $66.3 billion, increasing by $25.1 billion (+61%) in 2025.
The growth was mainly due to the increase in the price of gold, the value of which increased by 5.5% over the year, adding about $2.9 billion to the reserves. The physical volume of the gold reserve increased by 9.95 tons in December, reaching 390.3 tons, which provided gold with 83% of all reserves.
The foreign currency part of the reserves also increased - by $829.1 million to $10.6 billion, and the volume of securities increased to $1.53 billion. In December, reserves showed an increase of $5.08 billion (+8.3%), consolidating the historical maximum.
Experts note that the high level of reserves strengthens the country's financial stability and its international credit rating, and also creates additional opportunities to support the economy and investment attractiveness of Uzbekistan.
