Tajikistan will receive a $50 million grant from the Asian Development Bank. The grant funds will be used to strengthen the resilience of Tajikistan’s banking sector and raise public confidence in the financial system, the press office of the ADB reported to CentralAsia.news.

The Government intends to spend the grant funds on improving the reliability of banking services, expanding the non-banking financial sector and strengthening fiscal management.

It is planned to strengthen the deposit insurance framework for individuals, build up financial management capacity of the National Bank of Tajikistan and extend control over banking operations.
