At that, technical support level for dollar shifted to 120.00. Today the head of National Bank announced preliminary data on country` s payment balance in initial 6 months of 2008. According to Mr. Saidenov Kazakhstan current payment balance surplus made $6.7 bn. (in initial 6 months of 2007 - deficit $2.4 bn.) Such positive macroeconomic data strongly support national currency. Tenge appreciation in long-term prospect looks possible. At the same time, it should be noted that the only factor of impressive results of initial 6 months was high prices on energy recourses on world markets. [2008-08-06]
