The Central Bank of the Republic of Uzbekistan announced that, from 17 January 2025, it will put 100 gram gold bars into circulation through commercial banks, adding to the existing 5, 10, 20 and 50 gram bars. The bars will be sold in special protective packaging that serves as a certificate and carries its own serial number. Sale prices will be published daily on the Central Bank’s website in the national currency. Commercial banks will redeem bars with intact packaging at the point of sale by paying the owner, while bars with damaged or non-compliant packaging will be repurchased only after technical examination and verification. Gold bars with intact packaging may be exported outside Uzbekistan.
