The central bank announced the new exchange rates for foreign currencies: the dollar has depreciated, while the euro has sharply increased

The central bank announced the new exchange rates for foreign currencies against the Uzbek som, effective April 22.

According to the announced new data:

• The exchange rate of the US dollar has fallen to 28.56 som, making it 12,909.64 som;
  
• The euro has suddenly increased by 197.32 som, reaching 14,908.05 som;
  
• The Russian ruble has also risen by 0.24 som, totaling 159.75 som.
  

It is worth noting that in the previous two days, the exchange rate of the US dollar had decreased to 12,938.20 som.

Currently, some economic experts believe that the currency exchange rates in the country are being artificially maintained. According to them, if the currency market is fully liberalized, 1 US dollar could rise to 20,000 som. However, central bank officials have rejected this opinion, emphasizing that the situation in the country's currency market is natural.

Now, the main question that interests many is: how will the exchange rates change by the end of 2025? What fluctuations and changes might the Uzbek economy face in the near future? There are no clear answers to these questions yet, but these topics remain the most discussed issues among economists and the public.
