DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, November 5. Alijon
Salimzoda, Chairman of the Board of the State Savings Bank of
Tajikistan, Amonatbank, and a delegation from the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) held a meeting and discussed ways to expand
bilateral cooperation, Trend reports via Amonatbank.
During the meeting, Salimzoda presented the bank’s performance
for the first nine months of 2025, highlighting Amonatbank’s role
as a state-owned, systemically important institution actively
supporting government programs.
The discussions covered a broad range of topics, including the
bank’s business model, revenue sources, financing costs, investment
and lending activities, compliance with international standards,
and customer obligations.
The meeting also focused on analyzing the bank’s financial
position amid external factors and assessing prospects for further
collaboration with the IMF. Both sides expressed readiness to
continue strengthening their partnership.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) engaged with Tajikistan
upon the country’s accession to the Fund on April 27, 1993.
Nevertheless, owing to the commencement of the civil war
(1992-1997), Tajikistan did not commence receiving financial
support from the IMF until the latter part of 1996, initiated by a
Stand-By Arrangement sanctioned on May 8, 1996. Previously, the
Fund participated in the nation’s transition from a command economy
to a market economy following its independence in 1991.
