KAZAKH GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON ELIMINATING WEAKNESSES IN THE BANKING SECTOR – IMF

They also emphasized the need to ensure effective operation of the deposit insurance fund. Looking forward, Directors called for strengthened financial sector regulation and supervision, including through improved on and off site supervision and further restrictions on foreign currency lending to unhedged borrowers.
