Uzbekistan has witnessed a significant rise in foreign exchange activity between banks and the public during the first half of 2025, according to media reports on Friday.

Meanwhile, banks sold 5.4 billion dollars in foreign currency to individuals, representing an 18% rise compared to the same period in 2024.
