It is worth noting that participation in the EBRD’s TFP Programme gives clients access to international trade around the globe on favorable terms and boosts the level of the Bank’s recognition and credibility in the international trade finance markets.

Last Friday, Bank CenterCredit gathered Kazakhstani entrepreneurs at the business meeting dedicated to the effective management and marketing challenges in today's environment. The business development needs and prospects, the importance of supply chains in the economy, and opportunities for optimization of these processes were discussed.

Armanzhan Baitassov (Forbes.kz), Igor Mann (Marketer, Speaker, Author, Publisher), Anton Manin (Head of Supply Chain Finance at Bank CenterCredit), Kumar Mussayev (Partner and Co-founder of Kaizen Center) were the speakers at the meeting.

Anton Manin spoke about the problem of rising production costs and unnecessary money movement using the example of distributors who collect cash from small stores and take it to the bank. The introduction of QR-payment, he said, proved to be a simple and effective solution that reduces costs and simplifies the process for all participants. The Bank also presented its products, including lending, acquiring and remote invoicing, which help business customers tackle their daily tasks more efficiently.

Igor Mann, a well-known CIS theorist and author of books on marketing, co-founder of Mann, Ivanov & Ferber Publishing House, presented two extremely relevant topics for modern business – immediate results marketing and effective customer retention strategies.

Armanzhan Baitassov, businessman and Forbes publisher in Kazakhstan, spoke about the use of creative thinking in business. The actual practices of applying the Japanese Kaizen philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement to boost quality and reduce costs, was covered by Kumar Mussayev.

“Development of businesses of our customers along with the Bank proves the effectiveness of the Bank’s efforts. We see tremendous potential in using modern technologies and financial tools to simplify business processes and reduce costs. Interaction with our customers and partners allows us to create solutions that meet their needs and contribute to sustainable development,” stated Nurlan Shegebayev, Vice President of Bank CenterCredit.

“Participation in social projects and making contributions to society are among the Bank's priorities. By working on initiatives that promote equality, we strive to build a sustainable and equitable society, which is important to all of us," commented Saken Nigmashev, PR Director at Bank CenterCredit.

On May 11, the final of the Republican festival of environmental ideas and projects was held in Almaty as part of the national social eco-campaign TURAQTY JOL. This festival, aimed at instilling environmental values among youth, received support from Bank CenterCredit.

Gathering around ten thousand participants since its launch in 2020, TURAQTY JOL has become a key initiative aimed at promoting one of UNESCO's priority tasks in sustainable development education. "I am confident that this initiative contributes to changing the worldview of young people, drawing public attention to environmental conservation issues, and achieving sustainable development goals," noted Bolat Akchulakov, President of the Kazakhstan National Federation of UNESCO Clubs.

JSC Bank CenterCredit, in partnership with JSC Development Bank of Kazakhstan and JSC Nurbank signed an agreement to provide the first syndicated financing in Kazakhstan. The funds will be allocated to the major beverage producer "RG Brands Kazakhstan" LLP to expand production capacity and increase product exports to the Uzbekistan market. It is worth noting that this is the first syndicated loan agreement of the Development Bank of Kazakhstan in partnership with second-tier Kazakhstani banks.

JSC Bank CenterCredit became the first bank in Kazakhstan to issue a tranche within the syndicate and assumed the role of the Agent Bank, representing the interests of all syndicate lenders and providing credit administration services within syndicated loans.

"Syndicated loans allow us to achieve two goals at once. On the one hand, we expand the base of long-term financing for our borrowers from the processing industry on favorable terms, and on the other hand, we involve more private financial institutions in financing large projects in the real sector of the economy," commented Marat Yelibayev, Chairman of the Board of the Development Bank of Kazakhstan.

"One of the bank's priority areas is to support the real sector of the economy. Therefore, we decided to participate in this initiative. BCC team has developed a product for the first time in Kazakhstan, allowing to provide administration services within syndicated financing. We are improving, expanding our capabilities, and ready to provide the Agent Bank services in such deals," noted Nurlan Shegebayev, Vice President of  JSC Bank CenterCredit.

"Nurbank highly appreciates the positive effect and significance of the syndicated loan mechanism for business representatives, industry, and, consequently, for the entire state economy. Such financial collaboration not only allows increasing the volumes of financing for the real sector of the economy but also offers clients the most comfortable conditions. Moreover, we highly value the opportunity for joint cooperation with KDB and Bank CenterCredit in implementing syndicated financing programs," shared Gulnara Musatayeva, Chairperson of the Board of Nurbank.

The successful implementation of the syndicated loan owes much to the clear and coordinated efforts of all involved parties. The joint efforts of the teams at “RG Brands”, JSC Bank CenterCredit, JSC “Development Bank of Kazakhstan” and JSC Nurbank have opened access to a new financing tool now available to the entire business community of Kazakhstan. The syndicate provides additional opportunities for business growth and the national economy as a whole. The implementation of this project will enable “RG Brands” to continue its investment program in expanding production capacity in Kazakhstan and increasing the Company's export potential," noted Timur Zhanguzhanov, Financial Director of  RG Brands.

Please be reminded that in December 2023, an agreement of intent for joint financing was signed between the Development Bank, Nurbank, and Bank CenterCredit. The allocated funds will be utilized by the borrower to acquire new high-tech production lines, expand production facilities, and increase the export of products to the market of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The total financing volume stands at 26.5 billion tenge, with 12.5 billion designated for expanding production capacities, and another 14 billion for pre-export financing. As a result of the expansion of production capacities, the volume of juice, tea, carbonated, and non-carbonated beverages will almost double incrementally as they are put into operation. The expansion will not only increase domestic production and beverage exports but also foster the creation of new jobs for Kazakhstani specialists within the enterprise.
