- Международное рейтинговое агентство Moody's Investors Service
поместило на пересмотр рейтинги эмитента и рейтинги по депозитам
пяти финансовых организаций Казахстана, в управлении которых
участвует государство, в частности АО "Банк Развития Казахстана",
АО "Жилстройсбербанка", АО "Казагрофинанс", АО "Аграрная кредитная
корпорация", АО "Казахстанская ипотечная компания".
Данное действие следует за заявлением АО "Астана-Финанс" (25,5% акций
принадлежит АО "Фонд национального благосостояния "Самрук-Kазына")
о приостановлении выплат процентов и основной суммы долга по своим
международным обязательствам, а также о приостановлении выплаты
основного долга по некоторым своим внутренним обязательствам до тех пор,
пока не будет согласована и проведена реструктуризация этих обязательств.
Правительство Казахстана не предоставило никакой поддержки АО "Астана-Финанс"
во избежание дефолта, в результате чего Moody's понизило долгосрочный рейтинг
эмитента и долговой рейтинг АО "Астана-Финанс" до "Са" с "В3".

Moody's reviews five Kazakh financial institutions for downgrade
/Moody's Investors Service, London, May 22, 09/ - Moody's Investors
Service today placed the issuer and deposit ratings of five government-
owned Kazakh financial institutions on review for possible downgrade. Four
of the five affected entities are government-related issuers (GRIs -
government-controlled financial companies with specific policy mandates),
while the other is a bank fully owned by the government.
The rating action follows the recent default of Astana Finance, another
Kazakh GRI, in which the government (through the Samruk-Kazyna sovereign
fund) holds a 25.5% equity stake. The government has not provided any support
to Astana-Finance to avoid a default. Consequently, on 21 May 2009, Moody's
downgraded Astana Finance's issuer ratings to Ca from B3.
In the process of the ratings review, Moody's will re-examine the currently
very high government support assumptions incorporated in the affected
financial institutions' ratings. Factors that the rating agency will consider
in its assessment of systemic support include the size of the financial system
in relation to the government's resources, the level of stress in the financial
system, the foreign currency obligations of the financial system relative to
the government's own foreign exchange resources and changes to the
government's political patterns and priorities.
The ratings review is likely to result in a closer alignment of these
institutions' issuer and deposit ratings to their stand-alone financial
strength, hence possibly leading to multi-notch downgrades for selected
entities. Moody's expects to conclude the review over the next few weeks.
A list of the institutions affected by Moody's rating actions follows.
House Construction Savings Bank of Kazakhstan:
- Baa3 long-term local currency deposit rating and P-3 short-term local
currency deposit rating placed on review for possible downgrade;
- The local currency deposit rating benefits from a very high probability of
systemic support that results in a five-notch uplift from the B2 baseline
credit assessment (BCA, an indicator of standalone financial strength).
Agrarian Credit Corporation:
- Baa3 long-term local and foreign currency issuer ratings and P-2 short-
term local and foreign currency issuer ratings placed on review for possible
downgrade;
- The issuer ratings benefit from a very high probability of systemic support
that results in a five-notch uplift from the BCA of 15.
Development Bank of Kazakhstan:
- Baa2 long-term local and foreign currency issuer ratings placed on review
for possible downgrade;
- The local currency issuer rating benefits from a very high probability of
systemic support that results in a four-notch uplift from the BCA of 11-13.
Kazakhstan Mortgage Company
- Baa3 long-term local currency issuer rating placed on review for possible
downgrade;
- The local currency issuer rating benefits from a very high probability of
systemic support that results in a four-notch uplift from the BCA of 14.

term local and foreign currency issuer ratings placed on review for possible
downgrade;
- The local currency issuer rating benefits from a very high probability of
systemic support that results in a five-notch uplift from the BCA of 15.

The principal methodologies used in rating House Construction Savings

and "Incorporation of Joint-Default Analysis into Moody's Bank Ratings:
A Refined Methodology". The principal methodology used in rating the four
GRIs - Agrarian Credit Corporation, Development bank of Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan
Mortgage Company and KazAgroFinance - is "The Application of Joint-Default
Analysis to Government Related Issuers". These documents can be found at
