Republic of Kazakhstan: Financial Sector Assessment Program-Detailed Assessment of Observance of the Basel Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2024) accessed December 21, 2024

Summary

In 2019 the responsibility to supervise the financial sector of Kazakhstan was assigned to the newly established Agency for the Regulation and Development of the Financial Market (ARDFM); however, ARDFM independence is not enshrined in the legislation. While ARDFM has introduced a risk-based approach and Supervisory Examination and Review Process, banks’ asset quality and related party transactions remain a source of concern, even if improving. The ARDFM present approach does not yet comply with international standards for consolidated supervision; it should hence continue with its plans to align key prudential standards with the Basel framework and extend risk management expectations across a banking group and not only at solo level.
