  • The Kyrgyz som has strengthened against most major currencies, with the euro, Russian ruble, Kazakh tenge, and Chinese yuan all depreciating.
  • The US dollar maintained its position against the som.
  • Data from the National Bank of Kyrgyzstan and exchange bureaus in Bishkek confirm the som's upward trend.

The Kyrgyz som has demonstrated a notable strengthening trend against a majority of major global currencies. This upward movement indicates a more favorable exchange rate for the som in the international market.

Specifically, the euro, Russian ruble, Kazakh tenge, and Chinese yuan have all experienced a decline in value relative to the som. This synchronized depreciation of several key currencies highlights the som's robust performance in recent trading periods.

Amidst these shifts, the US dollar has managed to hold its ground, maintaining its existing exchange rate against the som. This stability from the dollar contrasts with the weakening of other currencies, suggesting a mixed but generally positive performance for the som.

The data confirming this currency trend has been compiled and released by both the National Bank of Kyrgyzstan and various exchange bureaus operating within Bishkek, the nation's capital. These sources provide a clear picture of the som's current standing in the foreign exchange market.
