Uzbekistan, with a population of around 37.70 million people, has a GDP of approximately 132.48 billion making it the 61st largest economy in the world. The official currency of Uzbekistan is the Uzbekistani Som (UZS)
The economy is based on the export of commodities, including natural gas, gold, and cotton, with a growing manufacturing sector. It maintains close economic ties with its main trading partners, Russia and China.
The Uzbek payment system is dominated by the national card schemes Uzcard and Humo, which are used for everything from receiving salaries to making retail purchases. Extremely popular payment apps, Click and Payme, facilitate P2P transfers, QR code payments, and bill payments using these cards. Physical cash, the Soʻm, remains common, especially in regional markets and for daily expenses.
