/REUTERS, Лондон, 24.02.09, заголовок KASE/ - Международное рейтинговое агентство Moody's снизило кредитные и депозитные рейтинги 15 финансовых институтов Казахстана. Депозитные и кредитные рейтинги пяти институтов, ранее помещенных в список на пересмотр с возможностью понижения, были подтверждены. Депозитные и кредитные рейтинги четырех институтов остаются в списке на пересмотр с возможностью снижения, рейтинги одного банка пересматриваются без ожиданий снижения или повышения. Прогноз по депозитным и кредитным рейтингам всех казахских финансовых институтов, исключая те, которые находятся в списке на пересмотр, - негативный. Одновременно агентство снизило рейтинги финансовой устойчивости шести банков и подтвердило эти рейтинги для трех банков. Рейтинги финансовой устойчивости шести остальных казахских финансовых институтов, ранее не включенных в список на пересмотр, подтверждены. Для шести банков прогноз этих рейтингов стабилен, для девяти - негативен. Снижение рейтингов, которое завершает процесс пересмотра, начатый 12 декабря 2008 года, отражает усиление негативного влияния мирового экономического кризиса на казахскую экономику и ее финансовые институты, сообщило агентство.

MOODY'S DOWNGRADES KAZAKH FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS; FOUR ON REVIEW FOR FURTHER DOWNGRADE London, 24 February 2009 - Moody's Investors Service downgraded the deposit and debt ratings of 15 financial institutions in Kazakhstan. The deposit and debt ratings of five financial institutions previously on review for downgrade were confirmed. The deposit and debt ratings of four financial institutions remain on review for possible further downgrade, while the ratings of one bank are on review with direction uncertain. The outlook on all Kazakh financial institutions' deposit and debt ratings, except for those on review, is negative. At the same time, the rating agency downgraded the bank financial strength ratings (BFSRs) of six banks and confirmed the BFSRs of three banks. The BFSRs of the remaining six Kazakh financial institutions previously not on review were affirmed. For six banks, the BFSR outlook is stable, and for nine, it is negative. See rating list below for details of the affected institutions and the rating actions carried out. Moody's said that the rating downgrades - which conclude its review initiated on 12 December 2008 - reflect the increasingly negative impact of the global economic crisis on the Kazakh economy and its financial institutions. In its review, Moody's had focused on: (i) analysing the impact of the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions on Kazakh financial institutions' fundamentals; and (ii) re-examining the government support incorporated into the deposit and debt ratings of banks and government-related issuers (GRIs - financial institutions with significant government ownership or a special charter or public policy mandate from the government). The mounting asset quality and liquidity problems in Kazakh banks continue to exert downward pressure on their financial stability. Moody's estimates that the level of non-performing loans in Kazakh banks accounts for about a quarter of all loans outstanding. Despite the recent recapitalisation of the largest banks by the government, selected institutions may face a significant weakening of their capital positions from rising loan losses in the short term, the rating agency concluded. Furthermore, the inability to refinance their large foreign wholesale debt, as well as a likely decline in customer funding, creates notable liquidity problems for most banks. As of year-end 2008, the total foreign wholesale debt of Kazakh banks was about USD40 billion, of which USD12 billion is payable in 2009. "The recent devaluation of the Kazakh tenge also erodes the banks' financial standing by increasing their foreign currency debt burdens and by raising the default probability of their foreign currency loans," says Armen Dallakyan, a London-based Moody's analyst. "All of these problems expose Kazakh financial institutions to substantial risks that challenge the viability of their franchises and financial fundamentals, and therefore the banks' BFSRs, which reflect these risks, remain under pressure," Mr Dallakyan adds. The rating agency has also re-examined the systemic support probabilities incorporated into Kazakh banks' and GRIs' deposit and debt ratings. The revised assumptions, which reflect Moody's assessment of the government's willingness to actually furnish support, are based on both the individual institution's significance to the Kazakh economy and the potential cost of such support. Moody's acknowledged the Kazakh authorities' commitment to supporting the country's banking system to ensure the security of customer deposits and credit flow to the economy. At the same time, the rating agency cautioned that the uncertainty about the length and severity of the current crisis and its impact on the Kazakh economy may make the government more cautious and selective in using its resources, especially its foreign currency reserves, to support various projects and entities. Given these considerations, Moody's has lowered its assessment of the systemic support probability of the six largest Kazakh banks. On the other hand, the systemic support assumptions for the rated GRIs remains unchanged, or have been reduced only modestly, reflecting the relative importance of these entities' policy roles, as well as the likely size and expense of any support needed. The deposit and debt ratings of one bank - BTA Bank - remain on review, with direction uncertain. The conclusion of Moody's review will depend on the outcome of the negotiations to resell the bank to Russia's Sberbank following the nationalisation of BTA Bank.
