On February 11, the exchange rate of TJS against USD at some currency-exchange points in Dushanbe was 5:1. The USD exchange rate reportedly fell on February 15 due to additional measures taken by the National Bank of Tajikistan (NBT). On February 15, the exchange rate between USD and TJS was 1:4.94.
