According to the data of IRBIS, the issue volume of the National Bank's GS in February 2007 by amounts of offering was KZT835,122.6 m. (in January 2006 - KZT838,558.2 m.). At that, the issuer paid off his liabilities for a total sum of KZT841,646.1 (KZT535,009.7 m.). February net-borrowing balance of the National Bank in GS market was minus KZT6,523.5 m. Corresponding index in January was plus KZT303,548.5 m. ("minus" sign in balance indicator means that the mentioned sum was withdrawn from issuer's budget and remained in investors' possession, "plus" sign - issuer borrowed more than redeemed).

In February the Ministry of finance borrowed by offering of MEOKAM KZT277.8 m. (in January - KZT15,000.0 m.) and paid face value of bonds and coupons for a total of KZT4,743.2 m. (in January - KZT1,467.1 m.). February net-borrowing balance of the Ministry of finance is estimated by IRBIS at minus KZT4,465.4 m. (in January - plus KZT13,532.9 m.).

Total February net-borrowing balance of all Kazakhstan GS issuers was estimated by IRBIS at minus KZT10,989.0 m. Similar indicator of January - plus KZT317,081.3 m.

The given data reflect essential changes at the primary GS market of Kazakhstan in February 2007.

The Ministry of Finance planned this month to borrow KZT16.5 bn. However, the issuer failed to find compromise solution in terms of price with buyers at the single specialized trades for bonds offering. Regardless the good demand, which was three times bigger than the amount of MEOKAM offering, the borrowing sum turned out to be insignificant (see above statistics).

The National Bank did not compensate the volume, which was not offered completely by the Ministry of Finance, with additional issue of its notes, and it happened for the first time within several months the bank worked through the period with negative net-borrowing balance. Actually, the head bank of the country could afford itself to behave in that way as the volume of dollar purchase on the domestic market in February relative to January it reduced twice. To say differently, the conjuncture of the domestic currency market in the analyzed market gives an option to the National Bank of going without big tenge interventions, and, consequently, the negative net-borrowing balance on the notes market did not affect seriously the dynamics of monetary aggregates.

IRBIS agency draws the attention of its subscribers and mass media to the fact that figures presented above are not official data since it was obtained through analyzing information on primary GS market using databases of the agency. As regards domestic bonds, agency's databases have been checked according to the data presented to IRBIS by Central securities depository JSC (Almaty).
