During the discussion, Deputy Daniyar Tolonov inquired about the timeline for the completion of the audit of the National Bank. He expressed doubt about the need to rush into adopting amendments when the profit amount has not yet been established.
In response, Deputy Chairman of the National Bank Melis Attokurov noted that the audit being conducted by the Accounts Chamber is currently ongoing. He added that the audit is expected to be completed in the second decade of February, after which the final amount will be known.
Deputy Tolonov suggested waiting for the completion of the audit before making a decision. He noted that while he understands the need for funds, it is important to consider that the proposal to redistribute 100% of the National Bank's profit was made before the audit was completed. The deputy mentioned figures: in 2023, the profit amounted to 12.6 billion soms, and in 2024, it is expected to be 45.7 billion soms. He clarified what amount would be projected for the end of 2025.
The Deputy Head of the NBKR responded that exact figures would only be known after the audit is completed, but overall, it is expected that the profit will amount to approximately 40 billion soms.
