National Bank of Kyrgyzstan sells $178.9 million in currency intervention
The National Bank of Kyrgyzstan conducted its fifth currency‑market intervention of 2026 on March 30, selling $178.9 million to stabilize the national currency.
On March 30, 2026, the National Bank of Kyrgyzstan executed its fifth foreign‑exchange intervention of the year, selling a total of $178.9 million on the domestic currency market. About $95.9 million was settled on the same day, helping to address immediate liquidity and demand pressures, while $83 million was settled for a later date to smooth longer‑term market conditions. The move comes as part of the central bank’s broader strategy to curb excessive volatility of the som amid ongoing capital‑flow fluctuations and trade‑related dollar demand. By injecting dollars into the market, the regulator aims to prevent sharp depreciation and support price stability, which is critical for holding down inflation and maintaining confidence in the domestic financial system.
