Tajikistan: Long-struggling banks finally liquidated
25 May 2021, 00:49 GMT+10
Two major banks in Tajikistan, both once considered too big to fail, have been liquidated at the orders of the authorities.
The National Bank of Tajikistan, or NBT, said in a statement last week that Agroinvestbank and Tojiksodirotbank, which have been teetering on the verge of collapse for around half a decade, have been wound down because restructuring and recapitalization efforts did nothing to improve their financial situation.
When the condition of the two lenders became clear in 2016, the government stopped at little to save them. In December that year, parliament approved a decree to issue bonds worth around half a billion dollars with which to recapitalize Agroinvestbank and Tojiksodirotbank, along with two other distressed banks: Fononbank and Tojprombank. This amounted in effect to printing that amount of cash in somoni, the local currency.

The National Olympic Committee of Tajikistan (NOCT) has agreed to financially support 15 athletes in their bid to qualify for this year’s rescheduled Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The pledge was made at the recent NOCT General Assembly which was held in the capital Dushanbe under the chairmanship of vice-presidents Shamsullo Sohibov and Abdullozoda Ahtam.
So far, Tajikistan has secured two Olympic berths with boxers Bakhodur Usmonov and Shabbos Negmatulloev set to compete in the men’s lightweight division and men s light heavyweight class respectively.
The duo secured their places after success at the Asia and Oceania Olympic qualification tournament in Amman in Jordan last March.
