The National Bank of Tajikistan (Russian: Национальный банк Таджикистана; Tajik: Бонки миллии Тоҷикистон) is the central bank of Tajikistan. The Bank is engaged in developing policies to promote financial inclusion and is a member of the Alliance for Financial Inclusion. Deposits in the National Bank of Tajikistan during the first half of 2013 were $1.09 million, an increase of more than 17% compared to the same period in 2012. The National bank has been well known locally to only have family of the president in the senior positions, and as result has led to nepotism and funding directed for the family of the president.
