/IRBIS, Sep.15, 99/ - An employee of ABN AMRO Bank Kazakhstan
(Almaty), informed KASE, that any concrete results of the road-show
devoted to Euronotes of third issue placement in the world market, will be
known three days later.
"It is difficultly to tell something certain now. Not so good, not so bad ",
- he said.
The informal information, which is available for IRBIS today, testifies to rather
cool attitude of western investors to the new Kazakhstany debt. The large
negative influence on the investors' (especially American's) mood was
rendered by well-known in the West history about delivery by Kazakhstan of
"MIG" fighters to Northern Korea. The information concerning disagreements
of Kazakhstan government and IMF on the two last negotiations worked iIn
the same direction.
Kazakhstan tries to place euronotes for EUR250 mln in "euro zone" for the
second time. The first attempt of debt placement for five years with a spread
of 750-800 basic points relative to the yield of the bonds of countries in "euro
zone" (10.25 - 10.50% APR) was undertaken in July of a current year. The
attempt did not succeed, as the fall of the debt market of Latin American
countries at that time did not help to increase investors' trust in developing
markets. The lead managers of the project, as Deutsche Bank (Germany)
and ABN AMRO Bank (Netherlands), took the decision to return to the
placement in September.
