As of March 26, 2026, the bank’s authorized capital has been increased to 1.46 billion KGS. Thus, the financial institution has met the 1 billion KGS requirement ahead of schedule, which is not set to take effect until July 1 of this year.
The capital increase was funded by allocating retained earnings from previous years. As part of the procedure, the bank issued more than 6.5 million new shares with a par value of 100 KGS, placing them on March 12 on the primary market of the Kyrgyz Stock Exchange (BTS).
According to trading data, the total placement volume amounted to approximately 656 million KGS. The largest transactions included the sale of blocks of 3.33 million shares for 332.9 million KGS, 2.75 million shares for 274.7 million KGS, and 357,600 shares for 35.8 million KGS.
The increase in authorized capital is part of the bank’s strategy for sustainable growth, expansion of operations, and strengthening of its financial base. This capital increase will enable Bai-Tushum to expand its lending activities, introduce new products, and strengthen its market position, as well as build additional financial resilience for further business expansion.
At the beginning of the year, Bai-Tushum’s capital stood at 800 million KGS. Today, Bai-Tushum has already approached the next phase of requirements—1.5 billion KGS—which will take effect in 2027.
