The National Bank of the Republic of Abkhazia (The Bank of Abkhazia) (Abkhaz: ะางัะฝั ะาณำัะฝาญาะฐััะฐ ะะผะธะปะฐาญัำ ะะฐะฝะบ, Russian: ะะฐัะธะพะฝะฐะปัะฝัะน ะฑะฐะฝะบ ะ ะตัะฟัะฑะปะธะบะธ ะะฑั
ะฐะทะธั), also known by the short form of Bank of Abkhazia (Russian: ะะฐะฝะบ ะะฑั
ะฐะทะธะธ) is the central bank of the Republic of Abkhazia. It was established on February 28, 1991 since the adoption of the laws โOn the National Bank of the Abkhaz SSRโ and โOn Banks and Banking of the Abkhaz SSRโ passed by the Supreme Soviet of the Abkhaz SSR on February 28, 1991.
The Bank's headquarters are located in a constructivist building on Leon Street in Sukhumi, Abkhazia's capital.
Primary actions of the Bank
Due to the use of the Russian rouble in Abkhazia, the National Bank of Abkhazia exercises little control over the money supply in Abkhaziaโs economy and has almost no influence on the value of the Russian currency. Its actions are primarily focused on registering commercial banks and making wholesale loans to them.[1]
