“Ak-Ashuu” MCC is prohibited to carry out operations on microlending of individuals and legal entities in national currency since July 14, 2015 

 

For violation of requirements of the paragraph 3, Article 37 of the Law “On microfinancing organizations in the Kyrgyz Republic”, paragraph 3.11 of the Provision “On minimum requirements for conduction of external audit of microfinancing organizations in the Kyrgyz Republic” as well as for regular non-fulfillment of requirements of prescriptions of the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Record Registration Certificate №106 dated December 31, 2007 of the “Ak-Ashuu” MCC OJSC (legal address: 254 Kievskaya Street, Bishkek city) was revoked by the Resolution №26/1 dated July 10, 2015 of the Supervisory Committee of the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic.  

 

The National Bank calls upon the population to treat national currency with due care  

  

In recent years, cases of receipt of intentionally damaged banknotes and coins of the national currency by the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic have increased in number. Along with a careless attitude to KGS (notes are crumpled, torn, stained, used as notebooks, stored in pockets instead of the purse), the National Bank acknowledges intentional damage of domestic currency notes by citizens. A case has recently been documented when paper notes were used to disseminate advertisement and notes and coins were intentionally damaged.  

  

In view of the above, the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic reminds the citizens that they should treat the national currency with due care. Appearance and physical state of cash in circulation depends not only on the quality of materials, manufacturing method, weather conditions, but in many respects is conditioned by the relation of population to their currency, general money handling culture.  

  

Mr. Emil Kurbanaliev, leading expert of the expert Cash Management Department of the NBKR informed:Incapability of Kyrgyz people to treat the national currency with due care allows them to use a note as a notebook or a phone book, a prescription list, advertisement and even as a poetic admission of love. I am of the opinion that irreverent attitude to KGS shows generic relation of citizens to themselves, to their country. The national currency is the face of the country indeed. Guests often receive their first impressions about the country through holding the local currency in their hands. Any man will surely be unpleased to receive bulgy pack of dirty, torn notes and notes covered with writing in exchange of his/her currency. Someone may treat it as a trifle, but such trifles form economic and political image of our country”.  

  

Each country must take care of the appearance of its national currency. It is demonstrated through not only improving the physical quality of notes, design and protective properties, but through accurate, solicitous attitude to cash of each citizen of the country. Manufacture of KGS, constant replacement of shabby money with new notes and coins consume many public funds. Delicate handling of the national currency shall enable each note and coin to serve much longer. Therefore, do not write notes, fold up and wrap them! If you have a shabby note (torn, dirty, covered with writing, rubbed etc.), you may exchange it to a proper note in any commercial bank of the Kyrgyz Republic provided that more than 80% of the notes area is preserved. The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic exchanges shabby banknotes of the national currency to new ones every day, since Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 15: pm provided 50% and more area of the note is of acceptable quality.   

  

 

In order to strengthen stability, security and reliability of the banking system, the National Bank enhanced in 2015 requirements for the authorized capital of banks, which provide a gradual increase in banks capital to 600.0 million KGS by July 1, 2017:   

till July 1, 2015 - 300 million KGS;   

till July 1, 2016 - 400 million KGS;   

till July 1, 2017 - 600 million KGS.   

  

As of July 1, 2015, all commercial banks of the Kyrgyz Republic met the requirement for increasing the authorized capital up to 300.0 million KGS.
