High level of volatility on the external markets of funding contributed to this, nevertheless, an optimism of investors is in the process, which served as a restrictive factor of this growth. By the results of January, on London stock exchange, GDR prices of common shares of Exploration Production KazMunayGas JSC continued falling fell by 8.5% (+13.4% in January). Negative trend of the securities' quotes of the flagship of the economy of Kazakhstan is explained by the undetermined situation on the introduction of tariffs on export of oil by the government authorities of Kazakhstan. Accordingly, the level of implication of this measure to the given issuer is also not determined. By all appearances, the market disposed pessimistic expectations, and the fall of the GDR of Exploration Production KazMunayGas JSC can be stopped only by a distinctly synchronized position of the government of the Kazakhstan about this question, that is an adoption of decisions of government bodies that will be obligatory to execute, which will assume changes in the tax and custom regimes concerning the company. Herewith, a situation on the trade markets favors companies operating in oil sector - during one month the price of mixture of Light Sweet Crude Oil (NYMEX) increased by 14.5% up to $101.84. Prices on common stocks of Exploration Production KazMunayGas JSC have also dropped on KASE. (see Results of trades in shares on KASE on February 2008) Equity securities of banks of Kazakhstan, which were laid with minus sign on LSE during the last quarter of last year, returns to the growth dynamics from the beginning of a current year. Shares of Halyk Savings bank of Kazakhstan JSC increased by 4.4% (+13.9% in January), Kazkommertsbank JSC - by 17.5% (+7.9 %), and Alliance Bank JSC - by 22.7 % (+3.8 %). Almost all shares of banks of Kazakhstan showed a growth on KASE. (see Results of trades in shares on KASE on February 2008) Nervous situation on the world exchanges, fever of the main indices, and a permanent fall of US dollar in relation to the main currencies to daily antirecords holding against expectations of the USA recession forthcoming, turned investors to the developing markets. Besides, banks themselves actively spread positive news about their functioning in the normal working regime in February. Thus Alliance Bank JSC, whose trust rating suffered the most from the current crisis, informed about a reconsideration of its credit policy and correction of model of customer crediting. There were many gossips around Kazkommertsbank JSC in February, which the bank was actively refusing. However, intrinsically inside has proven about a health condition of the bank and qualitative approach to risk management - for instance, information about planned issue of Eurobonds in 2008 and acquisition of a large block of shares by the aside investor. The bank itself proved information about its participation in the government program on stabilization of social and economic development, within which the bank finances projects of two large construction companies in Astana (BI group and KUAT); the risks from the project are taken by the bank. Overall, features of the rapid collapse of the banking system that was shadowed by the international rating agencies is not observed on the market, though the final results can be done only in the second half of the current year, when crisis agiotage will drop, and how local banks are relative towards the external markets it will be finally clear. Shares of KAZAKHMYS PLС on LSE increased by 27.2% (11.2% in January) - in February the company announced that the program of redemption of own shares in the range of $400 m., started on October 24, 2007, was finished.
