Interest income for 2Q 2021 increased by 18.6% to KZT 214bn compared to KZT 180.5bn for 2Q 2020 mainly due to increase in average balances of loans to customers. Interest expense for 2Q 2021 increased by 9.8% to KZT 83.7bn compared to KZT 76.2bn for 2Q 2020 mainly due to the increase of average balance and share of KZT deposits in the amounts due to customers. Net interest margin increased to 5.4% p.a. for 2Q 2021 compared to 5.0% p.a. for 2Q 2020 mainly due to improved structure of placement of interest-bearing liabilities into interest-earning assets and due to savings on coupon payments as a result of an early redemption of Bank's high-yielding Eurobonds.
