As of December 19, changes were observed in Uzbekistan's currency market. According to the Central Bank, the Russian ruble rose by 0.37 soums to reach 150.44 soums, indicating a relatively stable growth trend for the ruble in recent days.
At the same time, the US dollar depreciated against the national currency. Its exchange rate dropped by 38.17 soums, settling at 12,021.61 soums. The euro also followed a negative trend, decreasing by 36.31 soums to stand at 14,092.93 soums.
By the afternoon, specifically at 4:24 PM, the average purchasing price of the dollar at commercial banks was approximately 12,005 soums, while the selling price hovered around 12,060 soums. Meanwhile, the ruble was being purchased at 144 soums and sold at 151 soums in banks.
Another significant factor highlighted by experts is the strengthening of the Uzbek soum against the US dollar by nearly 7% since the beginning of the year. This development is being regarded as a positive trend for the national currency.
Economists attribute the dollar's depreciation to the weakening of the US currency in global financial markets. Consequently, external factors are noticeably influencing the domestic currency market.
In summary, today’s currency movements have sparked cautious optimism in the market, and everyone is eagerly awaiting further changes in exchange rates in the coming days.
