In January and February of this year, the export of copper from Uzbekistan amounted to 121.9 million dollars, and the value of ferrous metals was 13.6 million dollars. The country’s total copper exports, including aluminum, were less than X kilograms. The country exports most of its copper, but its production has lagged behind. Currently, Uzbekistan exports only about six tons per month.
The outlook is less rosy, but there are some positive signs for the sector. This year, the price of Uzbek copper will increase by 40% and will be at a record high in nominal terms. This price increase puts pressure on developing countries that rely on metal imports. Overall, metal prices are expected to increase by 16 percent by 2022, and prices will remain at record levels, although they will decline slightly in the following years. A special section of the report examines how war affects commodity markets. It traces past shocks in commodity markets and reveals that the effects of war may last longer than previously thought.
Another bright spot is patterned bags. They vary in price and quality, but you should expect to pay between $15 and $20 for a medium size. However, they are not of high quality, they have a thin lining and a thin zipper. However, they are a fun accent piece for a night out on the town. If you want to make a statement with your souvenirs, buy a colorful Uzbek bag.
