How interest rates on deposits changed after the fourth consecutive reduction in the base interest rate in Kazakhstan In October, the National Bank lowered the base rate from 16.25% to 15.75%. It was the fourth consecutive decline since June. It should be noted that in October, nine banks revised their deposit rates, most of the downward changes for time and savings deposits.
