Central Bank reports drop in perceived inflation, lowest since March 2022
Perceived inflation assessments in Uzbekistan have been declining for two consecutive months following a spring surge, according to a study by the Central Bank.
As of July, the average perceived price growth over 12 months stood at 12.4%, down by one percentage point and reaching its lowest level since March 2022. The median level dropped to 10.3% (-0.4%).
Residents of Tashkent provided the highest estimates of annual price growth (14.7%), followed by Jizzakh (14%) and Kashkadarya (13.4%). The lowest perceived inflation was recorded in Karakalpakstan, Navoi, and Khorezm — 9.6%, 10.8%, and 11.3%, respectively.
Jizzakh also saw the highest proportion of respondents (22%) who assessed inflation at 21% or higher. In comparison, only 5% of respondents in Karakalpakstan gave such an assessment, with more than half citing a figure of 8% or lower.
Citizens with higher incomes report higher rates of price growth. In the group with monthly incomes over 15 million UZS, the average perceived inflation was 14.4%, while in the group with incomes between 10-15 million UZS, it was slightly lower at 14.2%.
