DUSHANBE, November 26, 2009, Asia-Plus  -- Tajikistan, savings bank, Amonatbonk, plans to purchase shares in the Roghun hydroelectric power plant (HPP) for 2 million somoni (equivalent to more than 460,000 U.S. dollars), according to Amonatbonk’s press service.

This issue was discussed at an enlarged meeting of the Amonatbonk Board on November 24.  The meeting participants also proposed to give up part of one-month’s wages to help Roghun’s construction.
