According to presidential press service, speaking at the meeting, President Emomali Rahmon noted that 701 million somoni (equivalent to US$162 million) worth of shares in open-joint-stock company (OJSC) NBO Roghun have been sold in the country to this day.

The head of state demanded at the meeting that relevant organizations should inform the population of the process of selling shares in Roghun every ten days.

President Rahmon also ordered to set up a special commission to control realization of funds gained from sale of Roghun shares.  The commission members should include representatives from the country’s NGOs and media.
