“Social consultation room” of the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic gives answers to your questions 

Due to frequent questions of the Kyrgyz Republic citizens about recovery of savings, the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic informs the following.  

In accordance with the article 1 of the Kyrgyz Republic Law on recovery and protection of the KR citizens savings, dated June 2, 1997, the state guarantees recovery and safety of money savings, allocated in: 

- the deposits of the commercial bank Elbank of the Kyrgyz Republic (earlier - the Bank of savings and credit financing of the Kyrgyz Republic) in the period till January 1, 1992; 

- the deposits of state insurance organizations of the Kyrgyz Republic (earlier – state insurance organizations of the USSR, operating in the Kyrgyz Republic) on long-term insurance types in the period till January 1, 1992; 

- the securities of the State targeted interest-free loans of 1990, not bought out from the citizens and securities of the State domestic premium loans of the USSR 1982, exchanged for securities of the State 15% domestic premium loans 1993 and securities of the state treasury liabilities of the USSR 1990.  

Guaranteed savings of the population are state internal debt of the Kyrgyz Republic; citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic as well as the citizens of the former USSR have the right for money savings recovery and perseverance.  

For the purpose of the above-mentioned law implementation, OJSC “RSK Bank” was assigned as the KR Government agent on performance of assets and money savings recovery. In this connection and in accordance with the Government Resolution No.480 dated August 1, 3003, OJSC “RSK Bank” in cooperation with the KR Ministry of Finance performed the registration of depositors of the former “Kyrgyzelbank” in the period from September 1, 2003 till June 30, 2006. Afterwards according to the KR Ministry of Finance letter No.10-2-2/3662 dated April 27, 2007, registration of depositors was prolonged till September 30, 2007.  

Nowadays, registration of depositors and acceptance of the applications for money savings indexation are over and the depositors, who have passed the registration in OJSC “RSK Bank”, receive their savings deposits in compliance with the corresponding indexation and priority.
