Uzbekistan's som weakened against the dollar again: the central bank set the rate for November 5 at 11,935.37 som per dollar, up 23.66 som on the day. The euro rose 112.40 som, while the Russian rouble eased 0.91 som.
Why it matters: the dollar rate is the number Uzbek importers, travellers and families with relatives abroad watch first, and each step up quietly raises the price of everything bought in dollars.
