Ruble Weakens Further; Kazakh Tenge Gains

The Russian ruble has continued its downward trend, losing an additional 0.34% of its value and hitting lows not observed since early April 2026. This marks a significant depreciation for the Russian currency, reflecting ongoing economic pressures.

In line with the ruble's decline, the Euro and the Chinese Yuan have also weakened, retreating from their recent highs. This suggests a broader trend of currency shifts impacting major global economies.

Conversely, the Kazakh tenge has maintained its upward momentum, indicating strength in Kazakhstan's economy. The U.S. dollar, however, has remained unchanged, holding its ground amidst these currency fluctuations.

Data from the National Bank of Kyrgyzstan and Bishkek exchange bureaus provide insights into these currency movements. The report also includes a table detailing remittances for migrants as of August 12, 2026, based on the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic's exchange rate.
