Abstract:
Today, banking assets account for ½ of Kazakhstan's GDP. Looking at economic stability and
sustainability, the banking system plays a key role. This thesis examines one of Kazakhstan's leading
banks, Fortebank, and specifically its financial performance over the past 5 years. Of particular importance
of this project in the light of the new realities is comparative analysis with one of the leading Silicon Valley
Bank (SVB) in the United States, whose management has failed to manage the risk management.
The target audience of this paper is shareholders and depositors, that's why profitability and
liquidity were the basis of the bank's analysis for each of the participants in the target audience,
respectively. Horizontal analysis, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were used as the key
methods of analysis in this paper.
The results of the study indicate the importance of the asset and liability portfolio and the analysis
of external economic factors, which banks need to take into account to ensure the sustainability of their
operations.
