Arnur Credit The proposed project is to provide a senior loan of up to $3 million equivalent to Microcredit Organization Arnur Credit LLP (the Company), one of the leading commercial microfinance institutions in Kazakhstan. Proceeds of the loan will be used to finance the expansion of the Companys lending activities to micro and small entrepreneurs (the Project). Arnur Credit currently seeks long-term funding to continue its dynamic growth and continue offering existing and new products to its target clientele.   Arnur Credit is one of the leading microfinance organizations operating in the southern region of Kazakhstan and serves more than 6,000 clients, of which 40% are women, through its network of 38 branches. Arnur Credit provides a range of products to its clients with rural loans for agricultural purposes accounting for more than 40% of portfolio and number of clients. Arnurs average loan size is about $2,000. The developmental impact is expected to be high:  - Open up more financial channels to the underserved segments of the society in remote and rural areas of Kazakhstan through supporting lending operations of Arnur Credit. Through access to finance, local micro and small entrepreneurs, more specifically women owned borrowers, would be able to expand their business activities and subsequently finance their day to day consumer and family needs.  - Contribute to the employment creation and improvement of life at the base of the pyramid through the strengthening of the microfinance industry in the frontier regions of Kazakhstan.  - Create a demonstration effect for MFIs in the country to upgrade their practices in different areas including risk management and social and environmental risk management.
SEF NefteBank NefteBank is a strong, conservative, well-managed, second-tier Kazakh commercial bank.  The project involves a credit line to NefteBank, which has emerged as the leading regional bank, covering Western Kazakhstan and catering predominantly the oil and gas exploration companies in the Caspian Sea region, as well as supporting the SME sector in the Mangistau region.  The proposed IFC loan will be used to finance SMEs in Western Kazakhstan.  The Mangistau region has a growing SME market that is currently being underserved and lacks access to funding.    IFC will facilitate SMEs'' access to term financing, which is scarce in Kazakhstan.  The ultimate goal of this project is to create a viable banking institution and creditworthy private enterprises, which could eventually become attractive opportunities for foreign direct investment.

BCC DPR/SME The proposed project comprises financing of up to $115 million to support BCCs SME lending business and its inaugural Diversified Payment Rights (DPR) securitization (together known as the project). 

The financing will include: 

- a senior loan of up to $40 million (the Loan) to be onlent to SMEs, and 
- a participation of up to US$75 million in the Banks proposed DPR securitization. 

IFCs role and additionality in the proposed project is to provide long-term support which will enhance the stability of a well-managed Kazakh client at a time when the international markets are closed to Kazakhstan. The successful implementation of this project will 

- promote SME lending in the economy; 
- develop financial intermediation by increasing the kind of products and services available in the market; and 
- underpin the overall growth in the economy, as higher loan volumes will benefit customers, suppliers and new entrants.
Arnur Credit II The proposed Project consists of a straight senior loan in the amount of up to US$4 million equivalent to be disbursed in KZT to Microfinance Organization Arnur Credit LLP (Arnur or the Company). The most significant, expected project-level outcome is derived from increased access to microfinance and small businesses, specifically for un(der)served population in rural areas of Kazakhstan, which are mostly engaged in agriculture and women borrowers. Beyond the Project, the investment has the potential to promote inclusiveness in the microfinance market, via demonstration and replication channels, by showing to other microfinance market participants the efficient underwriting processes resulting in increased access to finance for micro and small entrepreneurs in rural areas of Kazakhstan.
Shinhan Finance The proposed investment consists of a 5-year US$ 60 million senior financing with two identically structured senior loans (US$ 30 million each) to be disbursed over a 6 to 12-month period in Kazakh tenge (KZT) to LLP Microfinance Organization (MFO) Shinhan Finance (ShF or the Company) in Kazakhstan (the Project). Shinhan Card (the Guarantor and the Sponsor) will provide full and irrevocable guarantee for the Project. The proceeds will be on-lent to individual entrepreneurs and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). At least 25% will be earmarked for on-lending to women owned MSMEs (WMSMEs). Subject to blended finance approval, ShF may also benefit from a performance-based incentive (PBI) provided by the Women Entrepreneurs Opportunity Facility (WEOF) and the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi) to support growth of the WMSMEs business. The development impacts of the Project will be delivered through increased access to finance for MSMEs, including WMSMEs in Kazakhstan. At the market level, IFC anticipates that the Project, via demonstration and replication channels, will support resilience amongst microfinance providers catalyzing investments in the sector by demonstrating the viability of providing longer-term and large scale lending to MFIs in the country and contribute to crowding-in other sources of international and domestic finance in support of these lenders.
ECT Project The Project would invest in Eastcomtrans LLP (ECT or the Company), the largest private railcar leasing company in Kazakhstan with a fleet of about 8,350 wagons.  It provides railcars to major Kazakh and Russian companies on an operating lease basis (where the economic value of ownership remains with ECT).  The Company also provides transshipment and rail forwarding services.  A significant portion of its fleet are oil tank cars with the balance being open gondola wagons and Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) railcars.  IFCs investment would be part of a larger financing to fund the Companys 2012 expansion program (the Project).  This would enable the Company to diversify its fleet and client base while also allowing it to continue to grow its proprietary freight forwarding business. The project would: (i) support the continued development of a key player in the still nascent private Kazakh rail sector; (ii) promote competition and the role of the private sector in a state-dominated industry; (iii) contribute to the development of the transportation and logistics sectors in Kazakhstan; and (iv) help renew Kazakhstan''s aged railcar fleet, helping avoid a supply crisis over the next 5-10 years as about half of the existing fleet needs to be retired.  The availability of new, more reliable railcars would also help sustain the competitiveness of Kazakhstan''s railway sector, mitigating the risk of trucks displacing the railway with attendant increases in harmful greenhouse gases.
SEF ABN AMRO Registrars Summary Of Project Information (SPI)       Project Name    Kazakhstan - Kazak Registry Company      RegionCentral Asia, Middle East and North Africa   Sector   Project No007288   Projected Board DateDecember 20, 1996   Company NameKazak Registry Company (KRC)   Technical Partner and/or Major Shareholders    	ABN Amro N.V (51%) and Global Kazkommerts Securities (29%)     Project Cost Including proposed IFC investment    	US$100,000, including an IFC equity investment of $20,000    Location of project and Description of site    	Almaty, Kazakstan    Description of Company and Purpose of Project    	The project consists of the establishment of the Kazak Registry Company (KRC), which will be the first professional provider of registry services in Kazakstan. KRC will be established in Almaty with a share capital of US$100 thousand and would provide registry services to leading private companies and investment privatisation funds.  The project will help develop the equity market in Kazakstan, which currently faces a major constraint emanating from the difficulties encountered in recording the ownership rights of a shareholder.  This affects negatively the inflow of foreign portfolio investment as well as the development of a local retail market.  This project has been conceived as a response to the lack of independent, reliable and professional share registry facilities in Kazakstan and is expected to have a significant impact on the development of Kazakstans capital markets.  IFC will make an equity investment of US$20,000 representing 20% of the equity of KRC.  The other shareholders will be ABN Amro (51%) and Global Kazkommerts Securities (29%).

MFP-BOP Microfinance Organization KMF The Project involves a senior loan of up to US$50 million in US Dollars from IFCs own account and may include a senior syndicated loan, for on-lending to micro and small enterprises, including women-owned enterprises and agri-business enterprises. Stakeholder effects  Increased access to finance for MSMEs. The Project will support KMF, the largest microfinance institution in the country, in growing its reach to microentrepreneurs and small enterprises, including agricultural and women-owned businesses.


Stakeholder effects  Improved access and quality of financial services for MSMEs and consumers: KMF leverages a unique sales model targeting micro and small entrepreneurs from rural areas, involving special agents who regularly travel to clients' places of business. The project will support KMFs effort to capitalize on this competitive advantage compared to incumbent banks and digital innovators, by helping the company transform into a bank and develop a suite of financial products, including transaction and deposit accounts, digital banking and payment tools, to help increase the penetration of financial services amongst its clients. 


Contribution to Market Creation - Competitiveness: IFC anticipates that the combination of this Project and its associated advisory engagement will foster competitiveness among financial providers in Kazakhstan by helping the largest MFI in the market transform into a bank and begin offering a variety of credit and non-credit products and services to a clientele traditionally underserved by the banking sector.
ABN-AMRO Bank Kazakhstan Ltd. II As of December 31, 2001, ABNK''s total assets reached US$199 million equivalent. Equity was US$37 million equivalent, and corporate deposits were US$156 million equivalent.  ABNK''s main business focus is on companies, both international and domestic, in providing them with a range of products, such as loans, trade finance, retail, cash deposits, custody and advisory services. The bank has started to actively offer new derivative products and financial tools for clients in trading, such as swaps, (reverse) repurchase agreements, and forwards.    As the economy has stabilized and the leading Kazakh companies have matured, it is becoming increasingly competitive for banks to meet the necessary financing needs of medium size Kazakh companies. By providing tier-II capital support to an excellent Kazakh client, the proposed project would enable ABNK to provide necessary financing to quality local companies where single client exposure limits present a problem for the bank.  Also, the proposed loan facility will help to address the existing limitations of the Kazakh banking sector in providing term financing to the growing Kazakh businesses.
Jambyl Cement LLP The proposed project will support the expansion of the cement activities of the Vicat Group (Vicat), the third largest cement company in France, through a financing package to Jambyl Cement Company, in Kazakhstan to finance the construction of a greenfield, state-of-the-art dry-process 1.1 million tons per annum (mtpa) cement plant which will be located in Mynaral, Kazakhstan. Based on the anticipated growth in the cement market in Kazakhstan and the need for updating the countrys existing production capacity which is based on the more polluting and less efficient wet kiln process, Vicat Group has recently acquired 60% of Anys Invest LLP which owns 100% of the Jambyl Cement Production Company LLP, while JSC Kazkommerts Invest (KKI) owns the remaining 40% of Anys Invest LLP. The proposed project is expected to meet the growing demand in the local markets while helping reduce the countrys dependence on more expensive imports thus lowering cement prices to customers and supporting the development of the construction and housing sectors stimulating further infrastructure development. In addition, the project is expected to provide desirable employment opportunities to the region as well as stimulate private sector growth and increase the regions economic activity. The project will also help phase out existing wet processing plants, thus helping on climate change through reduced CO2 emissions.
