An important development has been recorded in Uzbekistan’s precious metals market. For the first time, the Central Bank has officially announced buyback prices for gold bullion. This decision makes market rules clearer and more transparent for investors and the public.
According to the information provided, gold bullion with intact packaging is accepted by banks at a price 3.9 percent lower than the selling price. If the bullion does not fully meet technical requirements, the buyback price will be 4.9 percent lower.
At present, a 100-gram gold bullion can be sold back to banks for 167 million 910 thousand soums. For comparison, the same bullion was offered for sale at a price of 116.6 million soums one year ago. As a result, the net profit for investors amounts to approximately 44 percent.
Previously, it was also possible to sell gold bullion back to banks within a range of 1–4 percent, but exact prices were not published in open sources, making market conditions unclear for many.
Experts note that the 49-fold increase in gold prices since the beginning of 2025 indicates a sharp rise in interest and demand for precious metals in the domestic market. The newly announced prices are expected to create more favorable conditions for those choosing gold as a reliable investment instrument.
