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 intervention turned out to be one of the largest since the beginning 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 transactions were significantly smaller in volume. Until today, the largest transactions were those on March 30 ($178.9 million) and February 26 ($162.55 million); however, the April sale exceeded the February one.
