Uzbekistan's gold and foreign exchange reserves reached $70.8 billion as of May 1, 2026, increasing by more than $1.9 billion in a month. According to the Central Bank, on April 1, the figure was $68.9 billion, which confirms a significant growth in the country's reserve cushion.
Gold continues to form the main part of the reserves. Its value at the beginning of May was $61.59 billion, compared to $60.85 billion a month earlier. At the same time, the physical volume of gold slightly decreased – from 13.4 to 13.3 million troy ounces, which indicates an increase in the asset's value against market prices.
The foreign currency component of the reserves also showed growth: from $7.57 billion in April to $8.72 billion in May. The increase is due to the growth of deposits and foreign currency assets in banks outside the country. The total volume of official reserves reached $70.8919 billion, while additional foreign currency assets remained at $167.6 million, maintaining an insignificant share in the structure.
