What was launched

The National Statistics Committee has launched the open information platform NarxStat, available at narx.stat.uz. The launch was announced at the agency's press conference on 13 November. The platform publishes the consumer price index, weekly average prices for basic foodstuffs and fuel broken down by regions and districts, the housing market price index, as well as the producer price index for industrial output.

What features are available to users

Data can be downloaded in CSV and JSON formats and also obtained via an application programming interface (API) without registration. Users have access to inflation and consumer spending calculators, an interactive map with average prices by region and their weekly changes, as well as a data update calendar and information on calculation formulas. In addition, the platform allows users to view price dynamics since January 2021 in the form of animated charts with GIF downloads, lists of the goods that rose and fell in price the most over the week, goods that reached their highest and lowest prices over the past 26 weeks, and a comparison of the highest and lowest price of a specific product across regions.

What the data shows at launch

According to NarxStat data as of 13 November, consumer prices in October rose by 0.6% compared to September, and by 6.5% year on year. Housing costs in the third quarter increased on average by 1.4% compared to the previous quarter and by 4.8% year on year. From 28 October to 4 November, a kilogram of cucumbers rose in price on average across the country by 1,495 soums to 10,810 soums, tomatoes cost 10,303 soums (+1,120), while lemons fell in price by 1,377 soums to 34,150 soums. The platform also clearly shows regional differences: a kilogram of apples in Karakalpakstan costs on average 6,379 soums versus 15,501 soums in Tashkent (2.4 times more expensive), while butter costs 51,515 soums and 93,564 soums respectively.

The second such service in the country

NarxStat is not the first open price statistics service in Uzbekistan: in April 2026, the Central Bank launched the price monitoring platform narxtahlil.uz, created on the basis of Statistics Committee data. With its help, one can track weekly average prices for 30 basic foodstuffs broken down by republic, region, district and city, price changes compared to the previous week, and the consumer price index. The new National Statistics Committee resource is broader in data coverage — in addition to food, it includes fuel, the housing market and industrial producer prices, and also provides data exports via API.
