On the currency market these indicators may vary at opening and/or closing in the reporting period of currency swap transactions. At execution of such transactions on the exchange market, the trade volume will include volumes of opening currency swap transactions (based on attracted sums). At calculation of exchange (calculation) turnover volumes of (in KZT; with subsequent recalculation to dollars) all executed opening and closing transactions; at that only deals falling in the reporting period shall be accounted for. KASE is applying this method for repo transactions trades statistics. From 2010 KASE will publish only trades volumes, indicating the exchange (calculation) turnover value only in special reports.
