Kazakhstan businessman Kenes Rakishev has become the new chairman of Kazakhstan-based BTA Bank's Board of Directors.

Alma Shalabayeva, the wife of Kazakhstan's fugitive banker Mukhtar Ablyazov, is no longer under recognizance not to leave Kazakhstan.

The High Court of England has supported the claims of BTA Bank and ordered the former Chairman of the bank Mukhtar Ablyazov to return almost $400 million to the bank.

The deal to purchase BTA by Halyk Bank may take longer than planned; one shouldn’t rule out the possibility of Halyk Bank giving up on the idea of purchasing BTA in case Kazakhstan Government doesn’t offer concessions in terms of price.
