The National Bank of Kyrgyzstan sold another $168 million to support the KGS

The National Bank of Kyrgyzstan has once again intervened in the foreign exchange market—and this was the largest intervention since the start of the year.

On April 16, the regulator sold $168 million. Of that amount, $111.4 million was sold with settlement on the day of the transaction, and another $56.6 million with settlement at a later date.

The transactions were conducted at an exchange rate of 87.45 KGS per dollar.

This is already the National Bank’s sixth intervention in 2026. Since the start of the year, the regulator has already allocated approximately $893.45 million to support the KGS.

By comparison, previous operations were significantly smaller in volume. Until today, the intervention on February 26 ($162.55 million) was considered the largest, but the April sale surpassed it.
