will recover when the running down of inventories and capacity will
come to an end. Loan demand by construction will rise with investment.

Manufacturing companies borrowed USD 4.3bn from domestic banks
+ USD 2.1bn from abroad; this is together 3.6% of corporate borrowing (domestic
+ cross-border) vs. an 11% contribution to GDP.
Where will the funding of the future credit growth come from? The
loan-deposit ratio sharply declined in 2008, 2009. It has remained
stable since the second half of 2010…

So how to fund Kazakhstan’s (non-resources) corporate sector in
future in support of fast GDP growth, investment and diversification?
 Further encourage household saving and deposit growth.
Households have developed to an important funding base for the
Kazakhstani corporate sector.
Attract again more wholesale funding and also foreign
refinancing of the banking system despite the rather adverse
international environment.
 Both purposes would be helped by
- the fixing of the problems of the banking system
- the repair of companies’ balance sheets
via the Impaired Asset Fund and other initiatives.
 In addition, measures were desirable to make the funding base
of the banking system more long-term and stable and thus
making the long-term financing of investments easier.
