Account growth remained positive in previous months as well, with the total rising by 2.1% in September and 2.1% in August, following more moderate increases earlier in the year. Growth accelerated in the second half of the year after slowing to just 0.3% in June, suggesting renewed momentum in banking activity.
On a year-to-date basis, the number of somoni-denominated accounts increased by 1.95 million, or 15.4%, from 12.6 million in January 2025. February was the only month to record a marginal decline (-0.05% m/m), after which account numbers resumed a consistent upward trajectory.
