In addition, Moody's has placed on review for possible downgrade the debt and deposit ratings of eight Kazakh banks. The BFSR's of these banks were affirmed at the current level. The affected institutions are: - Alfa-Bank Kazakhstan: BFSR E+ affirmed, LC and FC deposit ratings Ba3 on review for downgrade - Eurasian Bank: BFSR E+ affirmed, LC and FC deposit ratings B1 on review for downgrade - House Construction Saving Bank of Kazakhstan: BFSR E+ affirmed, LC deposit rating Baa2 on review for downgrade - Kazinvestbank: BFSR E+ affirmed, LC and FC deposit ratings B2 on review for downgrade - Nurbank: BFSR E+ affirmed, LC and FC deposit ratings B1 on review for downgrade - SB Sberbank: BFSR E+ affirmed, LC and FC deposit ratings Ba2 on review for downgrade - Temirbank: BFSR E+ affirmed, LC and FC deposit ratings Ba3, senior unsecured debt rating Ba3 on review for downgrade - Tsesna Bank: BFSR E+ affirmed, LC and FC deposit ratings B1, senior unsecured debt rating B1 on review for downgrade. Moody's has also downgraded the issuer rating of Development Bank of Kazakhstan to Baa1 from A2, and placed it on review for possible further downgrade. The Ba3 issuer rating of DBK-Leasing, a subsidiary leasing company of Development Bank of Kazakhstan has been affirmed. At the same time, Moody's has affirmed the E+ BFSR and maintained the review for possible downgrade on the deposit and debt ratings of Alliance Bank and on the issuer ratings of Seimar Alliance Financial Corporation, Alliance Bank's holding company. Moody's has affirmed the Ba1/Not Prime foreign currency deposit ratings of ATF Bank and Halyk Savings Bank, which are constrained by the country ceiling for Kazakhstan. These rating actions reflect Moody's assessment of increased uncertainty regarding government support to the Kazakh banks followed by the recent statements of high-ranked Kazakh officials on the government's intention to restructure the banks' foreign borrowings and the potential implications this may have to the economy. These rating actions also reflect growing pressure on Kazakh banks liquidity position, financial fundamentals and franchise viability caused by the tightening economic conditions in the country and the growing uncertainty regarding the ability of the Kazakh banks and GRIs to meet their obligations on foreign borrowings which amounted to around US$45 billion at the end of Q3 2008 - with the substantial part of the repayments falling due in 2009- 2011. We note that the largest financial institutions affected by this rating action account for the majority of the outstanding foreign currency debt issued by Kazakh financial institutions. The ratings of most of these institutions incorporate a probability of support from the government in the event of need. In its rating review Moody's will focus on (i) re-examining the government support incorporated in the banks' and GRIs' deposit and debt ratings based on the recent events , and (ii) on analysing the impact of the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions on Kazakh banks' and GRIs' financial fundamentals. The likely results of the review would be either affirmation of these ratings where there is strong evidence that their intrinsic financial strength and support from the government would be sufficient to maintain them at the current level, or downgrade the ratings of those institutions if the standalone financial strength and/or the support assumptions are not appropriately reflecting the economic situation and the government support policy based on current events. Moody's notes that the downgrade of the Development Bank of Kazakhstan's issuer rating from A2 to Baa1 (on par with Kazakhstan's local currency government bond ratings) was prompted by the increased uncertainty regarding the systemic support probability.
