She noted that when exchanging amounts exceeding 100,000 soms, banks and exchange offices require certificates of the source of funds.
“Why has the National Bank imposed such restrictions? What is the reason for this bureaucracy? What goal does it pursue, given that some citizens receive salaries over 100,000 soms? For example, in the Ministry of Construction, salaries reach 500,000 soms,” she emphasized.
The deputy expressed her dissatisfaction with these new barriers created by the National Bank for citizens wishing to exchange currency.
Kozhokulova proposed to discuss this situation at the relevant committee of the Jogorku Kenesh.
It should be noted that the introduction of the requirement to provide a certificate of the source of funds when exchanging currency over 100,000 soms was initiated by the National Bank as part of efforts to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism, according to the law "On Counteracting the Legalization (Laundering) of Income Obtained by Criminal Means, and the Financing of Terrorism and the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction."
