Uzbekistan announces new gold-backed investment gateway
Uzbekistan introduces a gold-backed digital investment platform to attract foreign capital and diversify financing sources for strategic infrastructure projects.
Uzbekistan has unveiled a new gold-linked digital investment gateway that allows foreign investors to channel funds into major infrastructure and industrial projects via a gold-backed financial instrument. The initiative, launched by the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Central Bank, aims to stabilize the inflow of foreign capital amid global volatility and to deepen domestic financial markets. The platform will initially support a set of priority projects in transport, energy, and high-tech manufacturing, with returns partially indexed to domestic gold reserves. Authorities expect the gateway to improve liquidity, broaden investor base, and strengthen confidence in Uzbekistan’s medium-term economic outlook. The move aligns with broader reforms to modernize the country’s financial infrastructure and attract institutional investors.
