The licenses of all the banks were revoked in 2016, as their assets were not classified in line with the law, and they didn’t create adequate reserves and their aggregate capital did not meet the minimum requirements.

Licenses of all ten banks were withdrawn in 2016 due to the discrepancy of their total capital with the minimum requirement of the regulator [50 million manat] and default to the creditors.

Some 32 banks are currently implementing their activities in the country.
