BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 13. Fitch affirmed the AB Kazakhstan - Ziraat International Bank JSC's long-term foreign- and local-currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) at 'B-', Trend reports, citing Fitch.
The outlook remains negative.

The Fitch rating notes a very high level of integration between Türkiye’s Ziraat Bank and its Kazakh subsidiary. Consequently, the long-term IDRs reflect Fitch's view of a limited probability of support from the bank's parent, Türkiye’s Ziraat Bank.

Additionally, the Negative Outlook on Ziraat International Bank mirrors that of the parent bank's Foreign-Currency IDR.

Fitch notes that following the clean-up of KZI's balance sheet in 2022, we expect its credit losses to be smaller in the medium term, while the bank's operating profit is likely to recover.
