Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbekistan resumed exports of non-monetary gold after a seven-month pause, according to data from the National Statistics Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

In April 2026, the volume of gold shipments to foreign markets amounted to US$1.503 billion.

The figure is 27.4% lower than in April 2025, when gold exports stood at US$1.91 billion.

No gold exports were recorded between October 2025 and March 2026. As a result, the entire export volume reflected in the January–April 2026 statistics relates solely to April.

For comparison, in January–April 2025, Uzbekistan exported US$5.481 billion worth of non-monetary gold, accounting for 45.7% of the country’s total export structure. In January–April 2026, this share declined to 15.1%, primarily due to the absence of shipments during three of the four reporting months.
