Halyk announces a KZT40billion partial prepayment of state support funds

JSC (KSF).

 

Previously, on 5(th) of June, 2023, Halyk prepaid part of the KSF deposit in

state ahead of the schedule in 2023 amounted to KZT68.4billion.

The return of funds on the KSF deposit for KZT68.4billion was carried out
ahead of the maturity, which is 2037, established by the agreement concluded
between KKB and Problem Loans Fund JSC.
