As of August 1, 2003 total state debt of Kazakhstan, issued as GS, reached KZT540.3 bn or $3,681.1 m along with servicing

/IRBIS, August 5, 03/ - As of August 1, 2003 total state debt of Kazakhstan, issued as government securities (GS), including municipal bonds, along with the servicing (amount of coupon payments) equaled in current prices to KZT540.3 bn, or $3,681.1 m at the rate KZT146.79 per dollar. Specialists of IRBIS came to this conclusion after making the analysis on the database of the agency. When making this analysis the payments on MEIKAM were calculated along with the consumer price index, which was fixed for the period from May till July of the current year. Since July 1 through July 31, 2003 total debt increased by 56,690.3 m (+11.72%) in tenge, in dollar equivalent (taking into account change in the rate of the National Bank) - by 413,137.8 th. (+12.64%). Corresponding figures of debt changing in June were +KZT45,157.8 m (+10.30%) or +$360,133.3 th. (+12.38%). According to the data, which IRBIS possesses, volume of GS issue of the National Bank in July by sums of floatation reached KZT91,899.1 m.(in June - KZT89,709.6 m.). At that, the issuer redeemed liabilities in the amount of KZT57,831.5 m. (KZT46,169.2 m.). July's net-borrowing balance of the National Bank at GS market was positive KZT34,067.6 m. Corresponding index of June - positive KZT43,540.4 m. Decrease of volume of borrowing of the National Bank by net-index was possible due to the help of the Ministry of finance. This issuer borrowed in July due to МЕОКАМ offering KZT8,900.0 m. (in June - KZT3,000.0 m.). Total sum of coupon payments equaled to KZT504.8 m. (2,041.1 m.). July's net-borrowing balance of the Ministry of finance is estimated by IRBIS at positive KZT8,395.2 m. (in June - positive KZT663.9 m.). Thus, the significant increase of debt sum in July was caused mainly by further growth of issuing activity of the National Bank, which continues to tie excessive tenge liquidity. But, unlike the previous month the Ministry of finance significantly helped it. However, judging on the above-mentioned data, stake of participation of the Ministry of finance at the primary GS market is still small.
