- National Bank of Kazakhstan from 2011 can return to a managed
float exchange rate of tenge. "From next year, will return to a
managed float exchange rate of tenge. This wide corridor is not
needed," - noted the head of the National Bank Mr. Grigory
Marchenko at the press conference on Tuesday in Almaty. He
noted that this decision must be approved by the board of the
National Bank. "We hope that the board, which includes not only
representatives of the National Bank, would agree," - he said. In
this case, Mr. Marchenko said that the previously established
corridor will operate on 20 March 2011. According to him, the
currency corridor, introduced last year and expanded this year, has
proved its usefulness." "Everyone is seen that tenge currency as a
stable in the past year - 12-13 months. That is a special need to
maintain the corridor we have not seen" - Mr. G. Marchenko said.
The head of the National Bank also said that if current high
commodity prices in 2011, the tenge will be strengthened.
According to him, if we take the real effective exchange rate
(including inflation), then in February 2009 when it was held in
Kazakhstan, the devaluation of national currency, the tenge
appreciated in real terms by 8% against the basket of currencies.

rate is stable, but in real terms tenge strengthened somewhat, we,
the National Bank, is quite satisfied," - he said. The head of the
National Bank also said that if current market situation is no reason
to expect devaluation in Kazakhstan in 2011. He also recalled that
the National Bank in sufficiently large volumes of currency bought
the first four months of this year, and then half a year almost did
