ФинГрам6. Стоит ли доверять банкам - обсуждаем результаты AQR с Ерланом, Санжаром и МадинойНасколько надежно хранить деньги в наших банках и можно ли доверять финансовой системе?
Ответить на эти вопросы и повысить доверие населения попытался регулятор – Национальный банк Республики Казахстан, запустив в 2019 году обширную и беспрецедентную на пространстве СНГ проверку банков второго уровня. Оценка качества активов (asset quality review, AQR) покрыла 14 крупнейших банков РК, которые представляют 87% активов всего банковского сектора и 90% от общего ссудного портфеля.
В этом эпизоде я веду дискуссию с моими коллегами-финансистами: Ерланом, Санжаром и Мадиной. Мы все когда-то работали в финансовом секторе аудита, а сейчас Ерлан занимается консалтингом, Санжар - корпоративными финансами, и Мадина является старшим менеджером в компании Биг4, непосредственно была вовлечена в AQR. После прослушанной панельной дискуссии по AQR мы решили провести свою и начать обсуждение состояния банковской системы с Вами.
Мы обсудили:
что такое AQR
зачем и как он проводился
какие результаты он показал, и
какие последствия и изменения стоит ожидать.
