/IRBIS, April 9, 2010/ - Finance & Investment House RESMI JSC (Almaty, IFH RESMI) provided IRBIS overview of major events and their investment ideas and projections for April 9, 2010.

Analysts of IFH "RESMI" are paying attention to investors on the following important events in the markets now:

• Mr. Yanukovych invited to Kazakhstan to build a grain terminal in the Ukrainian port. During his first official visit to Kazakhstan, President of Ukraine Viktor Mr. Yanukovych invited to Kazakhstan to build partnerships in the grain market. He also said that Ukraine is ready to build together with the Kazakh side (50/50) grain terminal in the Black Sea port. In turn, Mr. Nazarbayev supported the suggestion of his colleague. This proposal came as an opportune moment, because Kazakhstan has repeatedly stated its desire to buy (or build) a grain terminal in a port on the Black Sea for the transshipment of grain exports to North Africa and particularly in Egypt. Today, Egypt is a leading importer of wheat in the world, Kazakhstan is one of the main suppliers of grain in this country. Thus, in 2010, Kazakhstan plans to export up to 1.5 million tons of grain to Egypt. To build (or buy) a grain terminal in the seaport of Kazakhstan considers the two countries to Georgia and Ukraine. However, preference was always given to Ukraine, because capacity of Ukrainian ports can be shipped much more grain than the capacity of the Georgian ports.
• What do the liquidity, inflation and the rate of refinancing. According to the National Bank of Kazakhstan, the amount of excess liquidity in the banking sector of Kazakhstan since the beginning of the year increased by KZT2 billion and was about $ 12mlrd. Most of these funds placed in short- term notes of NBK, which in circulation to date total KZT1.015 billion. This record level of accommodation notes. Also, decreases in inflationary pressures over the past two months. Analysts IFD "RESMI" believe that this trend stems from the fact that while money do not fall in the economy and ends up in the SS. However, this is a temporary phenomenon. Once the banks start to lend to the economy, it will be difficult to contain growth of both the economy and inflation. Additionally, merit the level of official refinancing rate, which remained stable at 7%, despite the fact that the inflation rate exceeds the third month in a row refinancing. Given the accumulated liquidity situation today, the banks do not need a credit NBK and the refinancing rate is not used, i.e. sense to increase it is not. On the other hand, increasing the refinancing rate of inflation targeting, will serve as a signal for a rate hike in general. Analysts IFD "RESMI" believe that it would be premature. In this regard, IFD "RESMI" believes that in the short term, the level of lending by banks of the second level will be a great guide for refinancing rate than inflation.
