The value of Uzbekistan's gold reserves has reached a record level

As of March 1, 2026, the value of Uzbekistan's gold reserves reached 67.7 billion dollars. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This figure has significantly increased compared to 55.1 billion dollars at the beginning of the year. According to the Central Bank's data, during this period, the physical volume of gold rose from 12.6 million troy ounces to 13.1 million troy ounces.

The rise in international market prices further increased the value of the reserves. As the regulator emphasized, gold serves as a strategic, reliable, and safe asset during times of economic instability and geopolitical risk.

Gold has high liquidity and is not subject to credit or debt risk. Additionally, it is considered a natural hedge against inflation and currency depreciation.

For reference, the troy ounce is the standard unit of measurement for precious metals – gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. It equals 31.1035 grams and is widely used in banking, jewelry, and stock exchanges.
