Uzbekistan has re-entered the global gold market after a months-long pause, exporting $1.5 billion worth of non-monetary gold in January-April, with the entire volume shipped in April alone, according to the National Statistics Committee.

Gold accounted for 15.1% of total exports, down sharply from 45.7% a year earlier, when the country sold $5.4 billion worth of the precious metal in the same period.

The government has not officially explained the pause. Meanwhile, non-gold exports rose by 28.7%, driven by increases in textiles, fruits and vegetables, and services.

Previously, Uzbekistan reported selling nearly $10 billion in gold over the first nine months of 2025, with September alone contributing $1.47 billion.
