Governor, National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic

Ulan Sarbanov

Euromoney met Ulan Sarbanov, governor of the National Bank of the Kygyrz Republic, a few days after the revolution that swept president Askar Akayev from power. The situation and Sarbanov’s response brought Rudyard Kipling to mind: “If you can keep your head when all about you/Are losing theirs and blaming it on you”.
