Question 1

What is a cross rate?

Accepted Answer

A cross rate is the ratio of two currencies calculated through a third (usually USD or UZS). For example, if 1 USD = 12,700 UZS and 1 EUR = 13,800 UZS, then 1 EUR = 1.087 USD. Banks and exchanges use cross rates for pairs that are not directly quoted.

Question 2

Why does the cross rate differ from the exchange office rate?

Accepted Answer

The calculator uses the official Central Bank of Uzbekistan rate without commission. Exchange offices add a margin of 0.5–3% and may round in their favour. For large amounts the difference is significant — check multiple sources.

Question 3

How is the EUR/RUB cross rate calculated?

Accepted Answer

Via UZS: EUR/UZS ÷ RUB/UZS. If 1 EUR = 13,800 UZS and 1 RUB = 138 UZS, then 1 EUR = 100 RUB. This is a mathematically precise calculation without arbitrage opportunities in a perfect market.

Question 4

How often are exchange rates updated?

Accepted Answer

The Central Bank of Uzbekistan publishes rates daily on working days. Data is cached for 1 hour. On weekends and holidays the rate of the last working day is displayed.
