NBT: Meeting with the EBRD representatives

On 09 March 2016, the National Bank of Tajikistan (NBT) had a discussion with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) regarding the development of the Tajik banking sector, in particular with regards to the role of the systemic banks, such as Tajik Sodirot Bank (TSB). The parties also discussed NBT’s efforts in minimizing the impact of the regional crisis on the financial sector of Tajikistan.

EBRD welcomed and supported the new strategy of TSB grounded on strengthening bank’s capitalization and aimed at achieving stronger growth and better quality of lending to the real sector, including through attraction of new foreign institutional investors to the bank’s capital structure. EBRD hopes that the success of this process will enable EBRD to resume and develop the full scale cooperation with TSB.

On EBRD side the participants of the discussion were George Orlov, Financial Institutions Director for Russia, Central Asia and Mongolia, Arthur Poghosyan, Associate Director, Financial Institutions Business Leader for Central Asia and Richard Jones, Director, Head of Tajikistan.
