Uzbekistan sold gold worth almost ten billion dollars

Since the beginning of 2025, Uzbekistan has exported nearly $10 billion worth of gold, according to the Statistics Committee.

According to the information, from January to September 2025, the indicator increased by 70.5% or $5.8 billion compared to the same period in 2024. In September alone, the country managed to sell $1.47 billion worth of precious metals. At the same time, the share of gold in the total volume of exports amounted to more than 37%.

It should be noted that the price of gold in the world has started to rise again, reaching $4,000 per ounce. According to experts, the profit fixation was triggered by signs of a decrease in tension in the Middle East. In particular, the agreement of Israel and Hamas on the first phase of the conflict resolution plan proposed by the US.

Earlier, it was reported that Uzbekistan was among the top ten gold producers in the world. In 2024, the extraction of precious metals accounted for about 3.5% of global production.
