  • Country Update KAZAKHSTAN
    Country update KAZAKHSTAN Summary Kazakhstan’s banking sector remains one of the country’s major weaknesses, with the share of non-performing loans worrying high at 35-40% of total loans in 2011. In early 2012, BTA Bank defaulted for the second time, after the bank and three other banks defaulted in the global recession of 2009. The default is not only negative for the bank itself, but also for the banking sector as a whole, as it undermines investor confidence in Kazakh lenders, and thereby has a negative impact on foreign investment in the country. The image of Kazakhstan was further affected by severe riots in the oil town of Zhanaozen in December 2011, killing at least 16 people and wounding many more people. The authorities took firm measures to restore social stability and in one go, the government cracked down on the opposition and political activists, which allegedly had incited the unrest. Social stability was restored and the likelihood of contagion to other regions is small. However, the crackdown showed that the authorities are increasingly intolerant of oppositional voices. New government measures, created in response to the social unrest, aim to reduce social and labor tensions in the future. As a consequence, companies may come under increased pressure to accept wage demands. Things to watch: Recovery of the banking sector Social and political unrest Author: Reinier Meijer Country Risk Research Economic Research Department Rabobank Nederland Contact details: P.O.Box 17100, 3500 HG Utrecht, The Netherlands +31-(0)30-21-31568

  • France Recognised the Political Nature of the Prosecution of Mukhtar Ablyazov, a Longtime Opponent of Nursultan Nazarbayev
    www.odfoundation.eu France recognised the political nature of the prosecution of Mukhtar Ablyazov, a longtime opponent of Nursultan Nazarbayev. The need to obtain ‘additional testimonies’ against Ablyazov led to the intensification of a ‘hunt’ for former top managers of BTA Bank. In particular, the Kazakhstani authorities have kidnapped Zhaksylyk Zharimbetov from Turkey and are seeking the extradition of Anatoliy Pogorelov and Roman Solodchenko. Report was published on 10 February, 2017 www.odfoundation.eu The Open Dialog Foundation was established in Poland, in 2009, on the initiative of Lyudmyla Kozlovska (who is currently the President of the Foundation). The statutory objectives of the Foundation include the protection of human rights, democracy and rule of law in the post­Soviet area. The Foundation focuses particular attention on the region’s largest countries: Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine. The Foundation pursues its goals through the organisation of observation missions, including election observation and monitoring of the human rights situation in the post­Soviet area. Based on these activities, the Foundation produces reports and distributes them among the institutions of the EU, the OSCE and other international organisations, foreign ministries and parliaments of EU countries, analytical centres and the media. In addition to observational and analytical activities, the Foundation is actively engaged in cooperation with members of parliaments involved in foreign affairs, human rights and relationships with the post­Soviet countries in order to support the process of democratisation and liberalisation of internal policies in the post­Soviet area. Significant areas of the Foundation's activities also include support programmes for political prisoners and refugees.
