Uzbekistani Som (UZS) to USD — Uzbekistan Parallel Market Rate
By the ETCurrency rates deskUpdated hourly from P2P & exchange-market dataHow we calculate rates
As of October 19, 2026, one US dollar costs about 11,130 UZS on the Uzbekistan parallel market, so the Uzbekistani Som is worth roughly $0.00009 each. In practical terms, 1,000 UZS ≈ $0.08985 and 100,000 UZS ≈ $8.98 at the street rate, versus the official Central Bank of Uzbekistan (CBU) rate of about 12,231 UZS per dollar.
Uzbekistan unified its exchange rates in 2017, sharply narrowing a once-enormous black-market gap for the som.
How much is the Uzbekistani Som worth in US dollars today?
Because the parallel market prices the dollar at about 11,130 UZS, you divide any Uzbekistani Som amount by that figure to get its dollar value. For example, 10,000 UZS ≈ $0.89847, 50,000 UZS ≈ $4.49, and 1,000,000 UZS ≈ $89.85. At the official rate the same Uzbekistani Som would convert to slightly more dollars on paper — but only if you can actually access dollars at that rate.
This is why the parallel rate matters for anyone holding Uzbekistani Som: it shows the real, market-clearing dollar value rather than an official rate that may be hard to obtain.
Why the UZS to USD street rate differs from the bank
When you convert Uzbekistani Som to dollars at a bank, you get the official Central Bank of Uzbekistan (CBU) rate — if dollars are available. On the parallel market the dollar is dearer, driven by factors such as a legacy of currency controls, the 2017 liberalisation, ongoing convergence, so each Uzbekistani Som fetches fewer dollars there.
Today that difference is a modest premium of roughly 3.6%. The larger this gap, the more the official rate overstates what your Uzbekistani Som is really worth in dollars.
