The bank confirmed today that no official date has yet been set for issuing the new currency, noting that all details will be announced at the appropriate time once all necessary preparations and arrangements are completed.

It urged citizens and investors not to rely on any information regarding the new currency except through the bank’s official website, explaining that all banking operations are proceeding as usual, with no effect on the services provided.

The statement came in response to reports published yesterday, citing “economic sources,” which claimed that public and private banks would close between December 27 and January 2 to complete the currency exchange process, with the new currency to be injected into the market starting January 4, 2026.
