Moody's присвоило рейтинг планируемым международным облигациям Республики Казахстан на уровне "Bаа3"

/Moody's Investors Service, Сингапур, 19.09.19, перевод и заголовок KASE/ – Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") присвоило рейтинг Baa3 предполагаемому выпуску приоритетных необеспеченных евронот правительства Республики Казахстан в рамках его мультивалютной программы среднесрочных нот на сумму 10 млрд. долларов США. Ноты будут ранжироваться на паритетных началах со всеми остальными текущими и будущими приоритетными необеспеченными внешними долговыми инструментами правительства Казахстана. Средства от размещения нот предназначаются для общих бюджетных целей. Рейтинг зеркально отображает долгосрочный рейтинг эмитента правительства Казахстана Baa3 с позитивным прогнозом. Ниже приводится оригинальный текст сообщения Moody's на английском языке. Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has assigned a rating of Baa3 to the proposed senior unsecured, euro-denominated notes to be issued by the Government of Kazakhstan under its multicurrency USD10 billion medium-term note programme. The notes will rank pari passu with all of the Government of Kazakhstan's current and future senior unsecured external debt. The proceeds of the notes are intended for general budgetary purposes. The rating mirrors the Government of Kazakhstan's long-term issuer rating of Baa3 with a positive outlook. RATINGS RATIONALE Kazakhstan's Baa3 rating is supported by a very low level of public debt, very high debt affordability, and sizeable fiscal reserves held in foreign-currency assets, which provide a significant buffer against external shocks. These credit strengths are balanced by the country's relatively limited economic diversification, low – albeit improving – institutional strength, ongoing banking sector fragilities and longer-term political transition risks. The outlook on Kazakhstan's rating is positive. The positive outlook reflects Moody's assessment that economic resilience in Kazakhstan is increasing, supported by robust growth prospects in both hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon sectors, and rising incomes. Prospects for further economic reforms, combined with prudent and effective management of fiscal buffers, indicate that Kazakhstan's credit metrics may strengthen further to be consistent with a higher rating. WHAT COULD MOVE THE RATING UP/DOWN The rating would likely be upgraded if ongoing and further reforms were to strengthen the institutional framework, policy credibility and effectiveness, and economic competitiveness beyond Moody's current expectations. In particular, reforms that materially advance economic diversification would enhance the economy's resilience to potential shocks. Moreover, a material reduction in banking sector risks, supported by prospects of a sustained improvement in banking system health, more effective credit intermediation, and enhancements to the sector's regulation and supervision would likely put upward pressure on the rating. The positive outlook signals that a rating downgrade is unlikely over the near term. The outlook would likely be changed to stable if the potential for a significant and long-lasting deterioration in Kazakhstan's economic and fiscal metrics were to become likely, possibly stemming from a large, negative oil price shock that the government were unable to cushion. Reemergence of domestic political risks, with a negative impact on the government's reform agenda and the business environment, would also likely put downward pressure on the rating.
