May showed gold's relative resilience — falling less than stocks or bonds — even as the rate backdrop turned hostile.
The 2022 gold market: Russia sanctions and a paradigm shift
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. G7/EU froze $300 billion of Russian central-bank reserves — the most consequential monetary event since 1971. Central-bank gold buying hit a record 1,082 tonnes (highest ever). Year close: $1,824 despite Fed's aggressive tightening.
Key drivers in 2022
Russia sanctions, central-bank reserve freezing, Fed hikes to 4.5%, gold's structural role redefined

Era context — The modern bull market (2019 to today)
Gold's second major bull market of the 21st century. Driven by COVID stimulus, Russia sanctions, central-bank accumulation at record levels, and the structural shift toward a multi-polar reserve system. New all-time highs reached repeatedly since 2020.
The Uzbekistan gold market
Uzbekistan retail gold prices are quoted in the local currency per gram for 24K and 22K purities, and per troy ounce for investment-grade bullion. Local rates usually sit above the international XAU/USD spot price after import duties, sales taxes, and jewellery making charges are applied. Use this archive as the international reference price; final retail rates depend on your dealer and the date's exchange rate.

How Uzbekistan gold prices are calculated on this page
Source. The international XAU/USD spot price comes from gold-api.com's historical archive (London PM-fix benchmark). The UZS/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2022 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every UZS figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × UZS/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all May 2022 prices on this page.
Per-unit math. Per-gram = per-ounce ÷ 31.1035. Per-tola = per-gram × 11.664. Per-10g = per-gram × 10. Per-kilo = per-gram × 1000. Karat values multiply per-gram by the purity ratio (24K = 0.999, 22K = 0.916, 21K = 0.875, 18K = 0.750, 14K = 0.585, 10K = 0.417).
What this page does NOT include. Local sales tax / VAT, customs duty on imports, dealer making charges, jewellery design premiums, or coin numismatic premiums. To go from this pure-metal value to a final retail rate in Uzbekistan, add the country-specific levies described in the “Uzbekistangold market” section above.

How was the local currency price calculated?
UZS prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for May 2022 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2022-end UZS/USD exchange rate from exchangerate-api.com. We use year-end rates as a single reference point for the entire month — for most stable currencies the within-year FX drift is small, but during currency crises (PKR 2022–23, TRY 2022, ARS 2024 etc.) the actual mid-month rate may differ.
Why does the retail price in shops differ from this number?
The soʻm figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to UZS at the 2022-end exchange rate. Uzbekistan's retail jewellers add (1) import duties and sales tax (varies by SKU and karat), (2) dealer making charges (typically 3–12% of metal value), and (3) a small premium for purity certification on bars. Always verify the exact day's retail rate with a reputable local dealer before transacting.
