The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic issued Methodological Guidelines requiring commercial banks to implement risk-based approaches for managing compliance and reputational risks associated with dual-use and high-priority goods. The document mandates the use of national and international sanction lists to identify high-risk transactions and prescribes enhanced due diligence measures, including verifying end-users and economic justification. Banks are instructed to document risk assessments and may suspend or refuse operations if sufficient information cannot be obtained to mitigate potential legal and reputational consequences.
