Regulation No. 110 on Lombard Lending

APPROVED By the Board of Directors of the National Bank of Tajikistan Protocol No. 43 Dated February 9, 2001

Regulation No. 110 "On Lombard Lending"

1. General Provisions

2. This Regulation defines the basic rules for the provision of a lombard loan by the National Bank of Tajikistan to second-tier banks and its repayment.

3. A lombard loan is a short-term loan provided by the National Bank of Tajikistan to a second-tier bank (hereinafter referred to as "the Bank") for a period of no more than 14 days to meet the need for borrowed funds, secured by state securities in the manner established by this Regulation.

4. The purpose of lombard lending is to provide banks with a mechanism for managing banking liquidity.

5. Lombard loans are provided only to the main offices of banks.

6. Terms of Providing a Lombard Loan

7. A bank has the right to receive a lombard loan if it has state securities in its account at the depository in an amount sufficient to secure the requested lombard loan.

8. To obtain a lombard loan, the Bank submits the following documents to the National Bank of Tajikistan:

• an application for a lombard loan (in the form of Appendix 1);
• a credit agreement signed by the Bank (in the form of Appendix 2);
• a signed instruction for the transfer of securities (in the form of Appendix 3).

7. The submission of documents in accordance with paragraph 6 is recorded in the journal of applications for lombard loans.
8. On the day of receiving the lombard loan, the pledged securities of the Bank are transferred from its deposit account to the pledge account of the National Bank of Tajikistan.
9. If the documents are filled out incorrectly, the National Bank of Tajikistan rejects the Bank's application.
10. The amount of interest on the requested lombard loan and the total loan amount are determined using the following formula:

I = Lз * i * n / 360 Lk = Lз + I

where Lk is the total loan amount; Lз is the requested amount of the lombard loan; I is the accrued interest for the loan usage period; n is the anticipated loan usage period in days; i is the lombard loan interest rate as a percentage per annum. 11. The collateral for the lombard loan is considered sufficient if the market price of the pledged securities (Pф), divided by the adjustment coefficient (k) of the National Bank of Tajikistan, is greater than or equal to the total lombard loan amount, i.e.,

Pф ≥ Lk * k

where Pф is the actual market price of the pledged state securities; k is the adjustment coefficient. 12. The market price of the pledged securities is taken as the last price on the secondary (primary) market, published in accordance with the rules of securities trading. 13. The adjustment coefficient of the National Bank of Tajikistan (hereinafter referred to as the adjustment coefficient) is equal to 1.2. The adjustment coefficient is used to compensate for interest rate changes in the secondary market and may vary between 1.1 and 1.2. 14. The lombard loan is issued to the Bank on the next working day after the submission of the application in accordance with the Regulation on the provision of lombard loans. 15. The interest rate for the lombard loan is set equal to the sum of the weighted average interest rate of the last auction for the sale of state securities and 500 additional basis points (5%). 16. The Bank is notified of the amount and interest rate on the day the lombard loan is provided (in the form of Appendix 4).

3. Repayment of Lombard Loan
4. The Bank must repay the lombard loan and its interest within the established term.
5. In the event of timely repayment of the loan amount and the accrued interest, the National Bank of Tajikistan returns to the Bank the state securities accepted as collateral for the lombard loan.
6. The Bank may repay the lombard loan in full or in part early, having previously notified the National Bank of Tajikistan.
7. Interest on lombard loans repaid before the due date is reduced by the number of unused days.
8. In the event of the Bank's failure to fulfill its obligations to repay the lombard loan, the repayment of such debt is satisfied from the proceeds of the pledged securities.
9. In the event that the pledged securities cannot be sold, the National Bank of Tajikistan acquires these securities as property with subsequent sale or redemption.
10. In the event of insufficient funds from the sale or (redemption) of pledged securities, securities in the amount of the shortfall are levied.
11. The proceeds received from the realization of securities held as collateral at the National Bank of Tajikistan, exceeding the amount directed to satisfy the claims of the National Bank of Tajikistan, are returned to the Bank.
