Recent changes in "Capital Bank" concern the composition of the board of directors, as reported by the Kyrgyz Stock Exchange. At an extraordinary shareholders' meeting held on October 22, a decision was made to prematurely terminate the powers of two board members: Salamat Chynybekov and Mavlut Ashirbekova. They were replaced by Asylbek Aliyev. It should be noted that Salamat Chynybekov and Mavlut Ashirbekova became members of the board of directors of "Capital Bank" in March of this year, when they were elected by shareholders for a four-year term. Recall that OJSC "Capital Bank" was nationalized in 2024, when the shares of the family of Chynybai Tursunbekov were transferred to the State Agency for Management of State Property through the GKNB. In April 2025, 100% of these shares were transferred free of charge to the Ministry of Finance of the Kyrgyz Republic, making it the sole shareholder of the bank. Some foreign sources have circulated rumors about the possible involvement of "Capital Bank of Central Asia" in schemes to circumvent sanctions and interactions with individuals under international restrictions, particularly with Ilan Shor. The administration of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic commented on the situation surrounding "Capital Bank". OJSC "Capital Bank of Central Asia" is a state bank, 100% of its shares are owned by the Ministry of Finance of the Kyrgyz Republic. It was established to enhance the transparency and accountability of financial flows, as well as to reduce risks associated with the potential use of funds subject to sanctions.
