Letter from the Chairperson of the Management Board Annual report, 2009 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD Dear shareholders, clients and partners, The global economic crisis continued to impact on Kazakh financial stability and economic development in 2009. The last year has been very difficult for the banking sector: both financial institutions and the country were downgraded by ratings agencies; economic growth slowed down; three Kazakh banks announced debt restructuring; and the national currency was devalued. Nevertheless, we believe that year 2009 brought invaluable positive signs and became a peculiar stress-test for all financial market players. Kazakh banks were able to withstand the crisis and evolve as qualitatively new institutions. Government efforts to support the economy were welcomed by the banks and their corporate and individual clients. Kazkommertsbank participated in the majority of the government programs, including bank recapitalization, refinancing of corporate clients and mortgage loans, and providing support to the construction sector. Kazkommertsbank received KZT 184 billion under the government stabilization package in 2009. FINANCIAL SYMPHONY 1.
