Project Description
A senior loan of up to € 50 million in Kazakh tenge (KZT) equivalent to JSC Zhilstroysberbank ("ZSB") for the provision of residential mortgage loans to eligible private individuals.
Project Objectives
The Project is aimed at the development of the Kazakhstan financial sector and is expected to contribute to the following objectives: (i) development of mortgage lending in the country via supply of the long-term financing, whose utilisation will be linked to the implementation of sound mortgage lending criteria, (ii) improved housing conditions for private individuals, and (iii) further strengthening of ZSB's internal processes and procedures to facilitate potential privatisation of the bank in the medium term.
Transition Impact
The Project seeks to contribute to (i) the resilience of the residential mortgage market through sustainable and commercially orientated growth and (ii) competitiveness of an important market participant on its path to further commercialisation. Accordingly, its transition impact is expected to stem from facilitating the expansion of residential mortgage financing through this local currency loan and use of sound lending criteria in Kazakhstan, where mortgage penetration remains low, and institutional strengthening of ZSB to support the bank's privatisation in the medium-term.
