Uzbekistan's state printing works, GPO Davlat Belgisi, has produced the country's banknotes domestically since the mid-1990s — a deliberate policy decision following independence, when the government invested heavily in in-house security printing rather than contracting abroad as most post-Soviet republics did. By 2021, the facility had decades of accumulated experience, and the paper series it continued to issue sat alongside a parallel polymer programme that Uzbekistan had been quietly expanding.
The 5000 soʻm denomination, once significant, had been eroded by inflation to modest purchasing power by this point — a reflection of the monetary turbulence that followed the liberalization of the exchange rate in 2017.
