The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic has opened a public consultation on a draft Board resolution that would amend several of its regulatory legal acts on countering the financing of criminal activity and the legalisation (laundering) of criminal proceeds, focusing on payment system rules. The proposal aims to align the National Bank’s payment-system requirements with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing standards and with amendments to the Kyrgyz Republic’s AML/CFT law adopted on 23 January 2025 (Law No. 26). The draft is available on the National Bank’s website under “Normative Acts” and “Projects for Discussion”, and on the unified public consultation portal. Comments and proposals are requested by 17 December 2025.
