- At a meeting of the Committee of the Jogorku Kenesh, which deals with issues of finance, budget, entrepreneurship, and competitiveness, Deputy Dastan Bekeshev criticized the position of the National Bank regarding the profit for 2025 and its transfer to the state budget.

“You are aware of the current financial situation. How can you not know what is happening? If you are the deputy or chairman of the National Bank, how can you not be informed? If you cannot provide a clear answer, then why are you in this position? I understand that an audit is currently underway to confirm your data,” the deputy addressed the bank representatives.

The Deputy Chairman of the National Bank, Melis Attokurov, explained that their forecasts fluctuate and exceed the figures of the previous year.

“However, we cannot provide exact data until the audit is completed,” he added.

Bekeshev also noted that the National Bank had previously reported a profit of about 17 billion soms for 2025, but it later turned out that the actual profit amounted to 45 billion soms.

“Where did this money go? How was such profit achieved?” the deputy asked.

In response, Attokurov stated that the bulk of the profit was obtained through effective management of international reserves using various financial instruments.

“We generate these funds through the management of international reserves: in gold, currency, and securities,” he concluded.
