Ниже приводится оригинальный текст сообщения Fitch. FITCH ASSIGNS TEMIRBANK'S EUROBOND FINAL 'B-' RATING Fitch Ratings-London/Moscow-27 March 2006: Fitch Ratings has today assigned Temir Capital B.V.'s issue of USD150 million 9.25% notes due March 2009 a final Long-term 'B-' (B minus) rating and a final Recovery rating 'RR4'. Proceeds from the issue of the notes will be deposited with Kazakhstan's Temirbank ("Temir"). Temir has unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed the timely and full repayment of the notes in the trust deed between Temir, Temir Capital B.V. and the trustee, The Bank of New York. Temir Capital B.V. is a Netherlands-domiciled subsidiary of Temir, which is rated Issuer Default 'B-' (B minus), Short-term 'B', Individual 'D/E', and Support '5'. The Outlook is Stable. Terms and conditions of the programme can be found in Fitch's statement dated 13 March 2006 on the agency's website at www.fitchratings.com. Temir is one of the 12 largest banks in Kazakhstan, but held a small 1.4% of the system's assets at end-H105. In 2005, its owners changed the bank's senior management and refocused its strategy towards aggressive growth in retail lending, in particular mortgages and car loans. The new management team has been able to increase loans to individuals by 145% in 11M05. However, the bank's risk management and operational capacities in this new area are still to be demonstrated, and the quality of originated assets will be tested only when a significant amount of the new loans seasons.
