In 2003 total state debt of Kazakhstan, issued as GS increased by 48.6% in terms of tenge and by 60.3% in terms of dollar along with servicing
/IRBIS, Andrey Tsalyuk, January 13, 04/ - In 2003 total state debt of Kazakhstan, issued as government securities (GS), including municipal bonds, along with the servicing (amount of coupon payments) increased in current prices by KZT177.4 bn. (48.6%) or by USD1,415.0 m. (60.3%). Specialists of IRBIS came to this conclusion after analyzing its own databases. Face value of the debt increased by KZT184.7 bn. (63.4%) or $1,428.4 m. (76.3%), amount of servicing decreased by KZT7.3 bn. (10.0%) or $13.5 m. (2.9%).
The debt grew in the year 2003 by more than 70% due to issuing activity of the National Bank, which tied excessive tenge liquidity by floating its short- term notes. Its debt increased within the year by 217.5% in terms of tenge and by 242.5% in terms of dollar. It should be noted that terms of this debt has also grown. By the end of 2002 only notes with no longer than 91-day term were in circulation, and as of January 1 of 2004 maximum term was 1 year. It became possible due to changes in the rules of floatation, circulation and repayment of short-term notes, which had taken effect in the end of May of 2003.
In 2003 Ministry of finance entirely refused foreign borrowings. An insignificant increase of the volume of MEKAM circulating at domestic market was the result of debt's restructuring, which was directed towards issue of longer and less profitable bonds.
Domestic executive bodies still control an insignificant part of the state debt, which is in circulation as GS. During the year their stake increased at the market by one third.
