Tajikistan’s central bank has announced the introduction of gold ATMs this year to simplify the process of purchasing gold. Through this innovative initiative, customers will be able to obtain physical gold directly from ATMs by making payments with their bank cards. Some of these ATMs will also offer a gold buy-back facility, allowing users to easily sell their gold. Gold ATMs are already operational in countries like the United Arab Emirates and South Korea, primarily located in airports and shopping centers. Since 2017, gold bars have been available at the central bank headquarters and various commercial banks in Tajikistan, but the arrival of gold ATMs is expected to eliminate long queues and complex procedures, making the buying process faster and more convenient.
According to the central bank governor, approximately 200 kilograms of gold bars were sold in 2025, with a total value reaching millions of dollars. Most buyers are ordinary citizens who view gold as a safe and stable investment. Gold has traditionally served as a means of financial security in Tajikistan, and this new facility is anticipated to further increase its popularity. This initiative is part of efforts to modernize the Tajik economy and enhance financial transparency. It will not only provide convenience to gold buyers but also strengthen confidence in the financial system. Such measures may help integrate Tajikistan’s economy more closely with the global financial system in the future.
