Tajikistan's central bank is set to introduce a gold ATM project this year, according to Jin10. The initiative aims to simplify the process of purchasing gold bars by allowing customers to pay via bank card and directly retrieve physical gold from the machine. Some machines will also offer a gold buyback feature. Currently, gold ATMs are operational in the UAE and South Korea, primarily located in airports and shopping centers. Since 2017, gold bars have been available at the central bank's headquarters in Dushanbe and various commercial banks. The introduction of gold ATMs is intended to enhance convenience by eliminating queues and cumbersome procedures. The central bank governor disclosed that approximately 200 kilograms of gold bars, valued at around $23.74 million, were sold in 2025. The primary customer base consists of ordinary residents who view gold as a savings tool.
