Kyrgyzstan's National Bank Reports Total Assets Reaching 896.9 Billion Soms

The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic (NBKR) has released its financial report for March 31, 2026, revealing a substantial increase in its total assets, which now stand at an impressive 896.9 billion soms. This figure represents a significant growth compared to the previous year, underscoring the bank's expanding financial footprint and the strengthening of Kyrgyzstan's monetary reserves.

A key driver of this asset growth is the substantial holdings of monetary gold, which now exceed 608.8 billion soms, a dramatic rise from 292.4 billion soms in the prior year. This strategic accumulation of gold highlights the bank's commitment to maintaining a stable and robust reserve asset, often seen as a safe haven in times of global economic uncertainty. Alongside gold, cash reserves, funds held in banks and financial organizations, and investments in securities have also seen increases, indicating a healthy expansion across various asset classes.

On the liabilities side, the NBKR's total obligations reached 639.3 billion soms. Notably, cash in circulation increased to 280.1 billion soms, and funds from banks and financial organizations grew to 214.8 billion soms. Furthermore, the cabinet of ministers' funds saw a significant rise, surpassing 90 billion soms. The bank's capital also strengthened, reaching 257.6 billion soms.

The report also indicates a healthy profitability, with net profit for the reporting period reaching 25.9 billion soms – more than triple the previous year's figure. The bank attributes this overall growth in key financial indicators to the strengthening of its reserves and the expansion of its financial operations. This positive financial performance reflects a period of stability and growth for the Kyrgyz economy, managed under the prudent oversight of its central bank.
