Uzbekistan: Deposit interest rate (%)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Uzbekistan's deposit interest rate (%) rose 0.1 percentage points on 2023 (from 18.02% to 18.12%).

Across the 10 yearly changes before that (2014 to 2023), the average change was +0.26 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.63 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 1.92 percentage points in 2014 and the biggest yearly fall was 3.7 percentage points in 2015. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 0.52 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 92% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

Deposit interest rate is the rate paid by commercial or similar banks for demand, time, or savings deposits. The terms and conditions attached to these rates differ by country, however, limiting their comparability. This indicator is expressed as a percentage (a÷b)*100.

Limitations: Countries use a variety of reporting formats, sample designs, interest compounding formulas, averaging methods, and data presentations for indices and other data series on interest rates. The IMF's Monetary and Financial Statistics Manual does not provide guidelines beyond the general recommendation that such data should reflect market prices and effective (rather than nominal) interest rates and should be representative of the financial assets and markets to be covered.
