The Central Bank announced new foreign exchange rates: the dollar fell, the euro rose sharply

The Central Bank announced new foreign exchange rates against the Uzbek soum, effective on April 22.

According to the new data announced:

• The US dollar fell by 28.56 soums, to 12,909.64 soums;
  
• The euro suddenly appreciated by 197.32 soums, reaching 14,908.05 soums;
  
• The Russian ruble also increased by 0.24 soums, to 159.75 soums.
  

Recall that over the past two days, the US dollar exchange rate has decreased to 12,938.20 soums.

At the same time, some economic experts believe that the exchange rate in the country is being artificially maintained. According to them, if the foreign exchange market is fully liberalized, 1 US dollar could appreciate by up to 20,000 soums. However, Central Bank officials have rejected this idea, emphasizing that the situation in the country's foreign exchange market is natural.

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