    The Exchange and the Interest Rates
    (Suleyman Demirel University, 2007) Aina Shitkanova
    This project explores the relationship between interest and exchange rates in an open economy, with a specific focus on Kazakhstan. It examines the mechanisms through which interest rates influence exchange rate movements and vice versa, analyzing how these interactions impact the country's economic situation. The study also addresses key questions such as why the Kazakhstani tenge is appreciating and why national interest rates remain high. By applying theoretical models like the IS-LM framework for open economies, the project investigates the effects of fiscal expansion and monetary contraction on output, interest rates, and currency value. In conclusion, the paper provides insights and predictions about Kazakhstan’s future monetary trends, suggesting a continued appreciation of the tenge and a gradual rise in interest rates.

    Mortgage Market of Kazakhstan
    (Suleyman Demirel University, 2007) Almukhamedova Dilyara
    The mortgage market in Kazakhstan has been developing dynamically since the late 1990s, reflecting both growing public demand for housing and the banking sector’s increasing focus on retail lending. This paper analyzes the evolution of the Kazakhstani mortgage market, examining the structure of interest rates, regional distribution of mortgage loans, and challenges related to inflation and credit risks. Despite declining interest rates compared to earlier years, mortgage loans in Kazakhstan remain significantly more expensive than in European countries, primarily due to inflationary pressures and lower living standards that increase lending risks. The study also explores the role of the Kazakhstan Mortgage Company (KMC) in refinancing housing loans and stabilizing the market. Although the sector faces issues such as overdue loans and high insurance costs, government measures aimed at improving the financial system and controlling inflation provide an optimistic outlook for the sustainable development of the mortgage market in Kazakhstan.
