In addition, in the first half of 2015 the volume of the total capital of the banking system compared with the same period of the last year rose to 24.3%. As a result, the capital adequacy ratio comprised 23.74%. It is worth to note that this indicator has exceeded the standards set by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision by three times. Along with this, the level of the current liquidity of the banking system over the years exceeds 64.58%, which is twice more than the minimum level established by international standards.

Participants also noted that the success achieved in the banking sector is the consistent implementation of the tasks defined in the decrees and decisions of the Head of our State.
