The National Bank of the Republic of Abkhazia (The Bank of Abkhazia) (Abkhaz: Аҧсны Аҳәынҭқарра Амилаҭтә Банк, Russian: Национальный банк Республики Абхазия), also known by the short form of Bank of Abkhazia (Russian: Банк Абхазии) is the central bank of the Republic of Abkhazia. It was established on February 28, 1991 since the adoption of the laws “On the National Bank of the Abkhaz SSR” and “On Banks and Banking of the Abkhaz SSR” passed by the Supreme Soviet of the Abkhaz SSR on February 28, 1991.

The Bank's headquarters are located in a constructivist building on Leon Street in Sukhumi, Abkhazia's capital.

Primary actions of the Bank

Due to the use of the Russian rouble in Abkhazia, the National Bank of Abkhazia exercises little control over the money supply in Abkhazia’s economy and has almost no influence on the value of the Russian currency. Its actions are primarily focused on registering commercial banks and making wholesale loans to them.[1]
