At the same time, the bank also received a profit from operations with financial assets - measured at a fair value through profit or loss - in the amount of 0.3 billion tenge compared to a loss of 1.5 billion tenge in the same period last year.
An increase in the reserve of retained earnings (3.3 billion tenge) has exerted positive impact on the bank's capital. The share capital has not changed and amounts to 39.3 billion tenge.
"Qazaq Banki's liabilities decreased by 169.8 billion tenge in six months.

In particular, deposits of corporate clients decreased by 69.4 billion tenge, and individual clients - by 80.8 billion tenge," the message says.
