I was in Uzbekistan between 11th and 25th May and noticed that there was a significant difference between the National Bank of Uzbekistan rate of approximately 1600 for 1 US$. Whereas the black market rate was between 2200 and 2400 for 1 US$. It's about time the Uzbekistan government printed a 10,000 Sum bank note, I'm sure their economy is now strong enough. Change US$ 200 into Sum and you need a plastic carrier bag!

Complaining to us isn't going to do much good, is it?

Why don't you direct your suggestions to the Uzbek government?

It was simply a comment not a complaint. I will e-mail the Uzbekistan Embassy in London though.
