	According to him, the decision to open three banks in Chechnya was taken at the meeting of Prime-Minister of the Chechen Republic Stanislav Ilyasov with Vice-Chairman of the Central Bank of Russia Tatyana Paramonova.


	The leadership of Chechnya attaches paramount importance to the shaping of the banking system and reckons on all-round support at the federal level because it is impossible to raise the republic's economy without a reliable banking system, Vasilenko noted.
