- Ivanhoe Mines: The rights of shareholders and protests in Mongolia.
Yesterday the company released a press release stating that the company
has adopted a plan for shareholder rights, whose purpose - to ensure
transparency and fairness to all shareholders in the takeover the share of the
company. The plan does not deal with Rio Tinto an option to increase the
share capital of the company. Under the plan, shareholders of the company

pressure or coercion. Nevertheless, the company's shares during yesterday's
trading were under pressure. It is known that in the center of the Mongolian
capital of Ulan Bator, a mass demonstration to protest against falling living
standards. About 100 thousand protesters demanded the dissolution of
parliament if the Government fails to distribute among the inhabitants of the
country's revenues from the exploitation of national mineral resources. The
initiators of the demonstration accused members of the coalition government
of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and Democratic Party of
Mongolia in voter fraud and failure to fulfill its obligations on the
distribution of dividends mining industry among the poorest people, who were to
be submitted by government grants or through the creation of a special fund
social assistance. "We give the authorities 72 hours to decide. In the case of
ignoring the requirements of our protest will go to the next stage," - said the
demonstrators. In 2009, Mongolia's ruling party almost unanimously elected
the new prime minister. He became the head of the Mongolian Foreign
Ministry, one of the richest people in the country, Suhbaataryn Batbold. The
appointment took place some time after the adoption by Parliament
resignation the previous prime minister - Sanjaagiin Bayar. The reason for
his resignation - the deterioration of health. Change of leadership took place
against the background of a signed contract worth $ 4 billion with companies
Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe Mines to develop a gold and coal mines. It was
expected that the new Prime Minister of Mongolia will be more flexible and
more responsive to the interests of Russian and Chinese investors. Analysts
of ASYL INVEST note that the political risks of a negative impact on the
dynamics of the company. If the demonstration will continue with renewed
strength, this may adversely affect the dynamics of further shares.
- Moody's revised its outlook on Kazakhstan to "negative" to "Stable".
International rating agency Moody's changed the outlook of the sovereign
rating of Kazakhstan "Baa2" to "Stable". According to the agency for revising
the outlook reflects: Х least a significant slowdown of the country,
expectations that lending rates will come relatively intact from a serious
banking crisis, maintaining fiscal conservatism, the government of
Kazakhstan, along with an active anti-crisis program, expectations regarding
the fact that the positive medium-term prospects for oil and gas industry and
the growth of ties with the growing countries of Asia will support economic
recovery and provide additional liquidity in the banking sector. While the
news is positive, the analysts of ASYL INVEST do not expect the
positive impact of this message to the country's debt, as the main
factor is the issuer credit rating.
