ь The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic informs that on September 21, 2010, Management of the National Bank met with borrowers of commercial banks of the republic. The meeting was focused on restructuring of the borrowers loans; in particular borrowers of commercial banks raised the questions, related to refinancing of problem/distressed debts.

In accordance with article 8 of the Law “On conservation, liquidation and bankruptcy of banks”, the main aim of conservation consists in establishment of control over the bank for provision of maintenance of assets, financial books and registers of the bank.
As of September 1, 2010, the aggregate assets of the bank constituted 4919.6 million soms, having decreased in more than 5 times in comparison with April 1, 2010, with relevant decrease in bank’s obligations and capital. Decrease in assets mainly related to creation of additional reserves on securities of non-residents as well as on some credits and financial lease.
Structure of bank’s assets from April 2010 was considerably changed. The largest share on the structure of assets is accounted for credits, provided to clients; as of September 1, 2010, their share constituted 65.53 percent.
