Individuals under credit bans will be restricted from acquiring loans in Kazakhstan.
New Article:
Get the lowdown on the latest banking news in Kazakhstan! Here's a scoop on their proposed loan ban, straight from the source: Olzhas Kizatov, Deputy Chairman of the Agency for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market.
Seems like banks in Kazakhstan are about to freeze out some borrowers. According to Kizatov, lending to non-residents, and individuals with special ties to banks will be axed to cut down on risks.
But what exactly qualifies as having "special ties?" Well, as Kizatov explained in a Senate briefing, people who hold key positions in second-tier banks fall into this category. They'll be required to report their affiliations quarterly to the banking authorities.
This move came right after some tightened banking rules we reported earlier. Remember our piece on "The Fine Print Trap"? It covered the tougher lending regulations coming to Kazakhstan's banking sector. For more, check it out: "The Fine Print Trap": Tighter Rules for Banks in Kazakhstan.
