Moody's downgrades four Kazakh banks' debt ratings London, 21 October 2010 - Moody's downgraded the long-term senior unsecured and subordinated debt ratings of Kazkommertsbank, Halyk Bank, Bank CenterCredit and Alliance Bank. The list of the affected ratings are provided below. Kazkommertsbank - Foreign currency senior unsecured debt rating: downgraded to B2 from Ba3 - Foreign currency subordinated debt rating: downgraded to B3 from B1 - The outlook on the deposit and debt ratings is negative, the outlook on the BFSR is stable Halyk Bank - Foreign currency senior unsecured debt rating: downgraded to Ba3 from Ba2 - The outlook on all ratings is stable Bank CenterCredit - Foreign currency senior unsecured debt rating: downgraded to B1 from Ba3 - The outlook on the deposit and debt ratings is negative, the outlook on the BFSR is stable Alliance Bank - Local and Foreign currency senior unsecured debt rating: downgraded to Caa2 from B3 - Local currency subordinated debt rating: downgraded to Caa3 from Caa1 - The outlook on the deposit and debt ratings is developing, the outlook on the BFSR is stable RATINGS RATIONALE This rating action reflects Moody's reassessment of the Kazakh government's willingness to provide support to senior and subordinated debt holders of systemically important banks, following the default and debt restructuring of three Kazakh banks (BTA Bank, Alliance Bank and Temirbank) in 2009. Importantly, the government's actions in all three restructurings led to depositors not sustaining any loss of principal, whereas holders of senior unsecured and subordinated debt incurred substantial losses. We see little reason to expect that the government will change its approach towards banks' debt holders going forward. Therefore Moody's removed in full the systemic support assumptions in all Kazakh banks' debt ratings, which previously benefited from low or moderate probability of systemic support. As a result, the debts of these four institutions are now rated at the same level as their Baseline Credit Assessments (their stand-alone ratings). Moody's also removed the systemic support assumptions from ATF Bank's debt ratings, however this does not change its Ba2 senior unsecured debt rating as it also incorporates high level of support from the Italian Unicredit Group, ATF Bank's ultimate parent. Moody's continues to factor in some systemic support - low or moderate- in the deposit ratings of the affected Kazakh banks that we view as systemically important. Accordingly, their deposit ratings remain unchanged and now rank 1-2 notches above their senior unsecured debt ratings. This approach is based on the support that the government has provided to these banks (including the defaulted banks), allowing them to honour their obligations to depositors. Moody's ratings on other Kazakh banks are unaffected by today's announcement because their ratings did not receive any uplift from systemic support. Moody's previous rating action on Kazkommertsbank was on 09 August 2010, when the outlook on the bank's E+ BFSR was changed to stable from negative. Moody's previous rating action on Halyk Bank was on 25 August 2010, when the outlook was changed to stable from negative on the bank's Ba2 local and foreign currency deposit ratings, Ba2 foreign currency senior unsecured debt rating and the D- BFSR. Moody's previous rating action on Bank CenterCredit was on 29 January 2010, when the bank's junior subordinated debt rating was downgraded from B2 to B3. Moody's previous rating action on Alliance Bank was on 02 July 2010, when the bank's local and foreign currency deposit ratings were upgraded to B3 from Caa3, E BFSR, translating to a BCA of Caa2, was affirmed. The principal methodologies used in rating Kazkommertsbank, Halyk Bank, Bank CenterCredit and Alliance Bank were Bank Financial Strength Ratings: Global Methodology published in February 2007, and Incorporation of Joint-Default Analysis into Moody's Bank Ratings: A Refined Methodology published in March 2007.
