Problems and prospects of development of activity of the Kazakhstan banks in the financial market

 

Within many decades in Kazakhstan, in essence, was not neither the financial market, nor its infrastructure: private commercial and investment banks, stock exchanges, insurance societies, etc. Transition of Kazakhstan from rigidly centralized planned economy to market demands a reconstruction in the country of the financial market with all institutes serving it. This problem is very complex and gauge, but it is required to be solved immediately.

The financial markets are a basis of development of economy of any country where occurs revolution and redistribution of financial resources.

The economy of Kazakhstan requires effectively operating system of calculations, more active participation of commercial banks in investment projects, expansion of sphere of bank services and improvement of their quality. In this connection there is a basis to speak about an active role of commercial banks in system of the financial market on which they represent itself as the main operating subjects.

One of directions of development of bank system in our country - expansion of assortment and improvement of quality of bank services. Now large Kazakhstan banks give to the clients practically all possible bank services, however, it is impossible to tell, that demand for them is satisfied completely and everywhere.

The situation in the financial market of the country was stabilized: decrease in deposits in bank system has amplified only slightly, the high prices for the export goods provide inflow of currency that guarantees a stable rate of tenge. There is a small decrease in deposits and legal and physical persons in bank system. 

Positive changes in the economic environment and conditions of bank activity in Republic Kazakhstan (a rating under obligations in national currency: ÂÂÂ-/Stabilized /À-3; a rating under obligations in a foreign currency: ÂÂÂ/ Stabilized /À-3), for last five years were favorably reflected in credit status and parameters of a commercial effectiveness of banks of the country. Despite of still rather high level of economic and branch risks, bank system of Kazakhstan on some steps advances weaker bank systems of other countries-members CIS.

During last years the national economy dynamically grows, and there are bases to believe, that high rates of growth will be kept the nearest years owing to essential revival of internal demand and steady parameters of industrial activity in all sectors of economy.

Despite of appreciable positive shifts, bank system it is still imperfect, that contains growth of credit status of participants of the market. It is a question of insufficiently transparent structure of the property, weak diversification business, languid reorganization of corporate sector, high concentration of credit portfolios on branches and on subjects of crediting, and also a prevailing share of the credits which are given out in a foreign currency. All these circumstances in a combination to fast growth of volumes of crediting turn around for banks economic risks and endanger their losses as a result of change of interest rates or a rate of exchange. The fears connected with the general tendency to fast growth of volumes of crediting in Kazakhstan, expansion of the international and inter-regional operations of the Kazakhstan banks, especially in the countries with higher level of risks - such as Russia and Kirghizia strengthens.

Though the level of a transparency of the property of the Kazakhstan banks gradually raises, it is still insufficient on the international norms. The standard practice of the international market of loans demands from banks to open names of the eligible beneficiary proprietors, as compels the largest Kazakhstan banks actively borrowing abroad, to do it. However the information reveals fragmentary, selectively, at "good will" of banks, data often incomplete and them actually it is impossible to check up - to confirm or deny. It is impossible to approve absolutely precisely what exactly those persons who now name real proprietors, is valid those are. Communications of the property cannot be tracked in conditions of existence of complex chains of set of the intermediate companies. All this means, that today's fragmentary disclosing of the information about eligible beneficiary proprietors if it in general is done, has the limited practical value. Disclosing of the information about eligible beneficiary proprietors of banks, certainly, is the important step forward for understanding and an estimation of a structure of risks of banks. In Kazakhstan there is no legal basis which would define the direct responsibility eligible beneficiary proprietors for problems of the banks in case of unfair management that would be especially actual in conditions of high concentration of the property in the Kazakhstan banks. Such practice exists in some other countries.

The basic purposes and problems of development of bank sector in intermediate term prospect are:

- Expansion of access of the population to bank products and increase of a level of protection of consumers of financial services;

- Increase of a level of a transparency of activity of domestic banks of the second level with a view of increase of trust of the population to bank sector;

- Development of a competition and liberalization of access of foreign banks on the domestic financial market;

- Perfection of bank supervision on the basis of the best international practice and increase of a management efficiency by external loan of bank sector of the country.

The basic measures for achievement of objects in view and problems should become:

1. Liberalization of access of foreign banks on the domestic financial market.

2. Perfection of the consolidated supervision and maintenance of a transparency of national bank sector for acceleration of its ocurrence on the world markets and active international cooperation.

3. Acceptance of measures for decrease in the bank risks connected with growth of volumes of crediting of the real estate, expansion of banks on foreign markets, consumer crediting and crediting of small business, and also with development and expansion of the list of bank services.

4. Perfection of the bank legislation in view of the international standards.

5. Interaction with supervising bodies of the foreign states for an exchange of the supervising information.

6. Perfection of development of system of obligatory warranting of deposits.

7. Increase of a management efficiency by external loan of bank sector of the country.
