The Central Bank of Uzbekistan has announced new currency rates effective from May 8, 2025. The rates have been determined to reflect the real situation in the market, with significant changes noted in some major currencies.
The US dollar continues to decline
According to the Central Bank, the exchange rate of the US dollar has decreased by 14.77 soums, setting it at 12,910.15 soums.

The euro is strengthening

The British pound is also on the rise
The British currency, the pound sterling, continued to rise this week, reaching 17,213.10 soums (+2.28). Such stability in the pound is particularly relevant news for entrepreneurs engaged in trade relations with Great Britain.
A slight decline in the Russian ruble
The Russian ruble has decreased by 0.16 soums, setting it at 159.78 soums. This change in the ruble may be related to global influences on the Russian economy.
