Business | On May 2, the GOU devalued the official exchange rate, the one used mostly for government transactions and debt servicing by 54%. At 321 to the dollar compared with about 900 on the curb market, the local currency still remains grossly overvalued. (references) | |
Economic History | Uzbekistan | The exchange booth rate was initially set at 675 soum/dollar (to sell dollars) and 690 (to buy dollars) to compete with the curb market rate, then at about 650 soum/dollar. (references) |
Uzbekistan | The GOU claims that the exchange booth market rate is set by supply and demand, but for many months it remained stuck at 675 and 690 in accordance with Central Bank "recommendations" while the value of the soum on the curb market slid past 800 soum/dollar. (references) | |
Travel | Uzbekistan | Since the national currency, the soum, is not convertible there is a regulated rate of exchange offered at exchange booths (785 soum/dollar in April 2001) and a curb market exchange rate (about 900 soum/dollar) . It is illegal to exchange money except at authorized currency exchange offices and violation of this law is a punishable offense. (references) |
