In 2019, 1.17 tenge of borrowings were raised for each tenge from public funds on market terms. 54% (177.9 billion tenge) of 329.5 billion tenge of funding, raised by DBK last year from various sources, accounted for by market funds. Thus, the DBK provides an increased demand of the Bank's borrowers for credit resources in the national currency. The share of loans in tenge in the structure of the Bank's loan portfolio in 2019 increased to 53% (915.3 billion tenge) from 43% (721.7 billion tenge) in 2018.
