Kyrgyzstan: National Bank announces AML regulatory amendments

On 7 October 2026, Kyrgyzstan’s National Bank announced two resolutions adopted on 1 October concerning financial crime and money laundering prevention.

Resolution 2026-P-12/48-1 aligns regulatory instruments with national legislation, FATF standards and Eurasian Group recommendations. It concerns banking regulation, non-bank institutions and payment systems.

A separate resolution, 2026-P-12/48-2, addresses internal controls and risks in certain banking operations. Firms should establish the exact obligations and application dates from the full legal texts, rather than relying solely on the announcements.
