The National Bank of the Republic of Tajikistan has begun selling standardized gold bars in 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 gram denominations, positioning the initiative as a tool to help manage cash in circulation, support development of the domestic precious metals market and diversify household savings. The bars are manufactured by Switzerland’s Metallor Technologies SA and are certified to the London Bullion Market Association’s London Good Delivery standard with 999.9 fineness. Sale and repurchase prices are set daily in Tajik somoni (TJS) based on the London precious metals market’s morning fixing and published on the central bank’s website, with buybacks paid to the customer on the same day provided the protective packaging remains intact. Access is offered via the central bank’s headquarters vault in Dushanbe, its regional branches (including Khujand, Bokhtar, Kulob, Khorugh and Gharm) and commercial banks.
