Kazakhstan Commercial Banking Report Q3 2010
Jun 19th
The ongoing improvement in financial conditions and continued support from Western European parent banks continues to buffer underlying stability in Central and Eastern European (CEE) banking sectors. That said, we reiterate our view that 2010 will be characterised by divergent outlooks across the region, with Poland and Turkey’s banking sectors particularly well positioned to exploit the tentative macroeconomic recovery this year. The deterioration in the real sector and the potential for a broad-based resurgence in risk aversion remain key risks, particularly for those banking sectors with large stocks of forexdenominated loans. The outlook for banking sectors across CEE continues to improve, in line with the ongoing stabilisation in financial conditions and tentative macroeconomic recovery across the region. With the worst of the financial crisis behind us, and the global recession also passed its nadir, our attention remains firmly focused on stabilisation in 2010. We maintain our core view that asset growth will not return to pre-crisis levels in the short term (see our online service, October 30 2009, ‘Five Reasons Why Asset Growth Won’t Fully Recover’) as capital market volatility, protracted deleveraging and weak domestic demand conditions conspire against a more pronounced revival of lending conditions over the medium term.

EVCA, TM Changes The Way We Drive!
Jun 5th
EVCA- The company, which is focused on alternative energy vehicles, has seen a dramatic increase in inquires from South America as well as specific government requests to supply all electric units for fleet use.
Scott ONEAL, COO, stated in an interview, “After visiting South America, and meeting in Colombia with government officials I was impressed at the willingness and desire to create alternative energy fleets in several branches of government. It is the perfect time for EVCARCO to expand into these countries, noting that in some countries gas prices are nearly double U.S. regulated prices, making alternative fuel options financially viable even in developing nations.
EVCARCO plans to introduce the following elements to South America:
1. Government alternative energy advisory
2. Public and commercial electric vehicles
3. Mass transit alternative fuel units
4. All electric taxi and high use units
5. Other viable electric vehicle transportation

Bank of America Corporation Investigation
Jun 4th
After a report concerning questionable executive compensation payouts an investigation on behalf of current long term investors in Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) over potential breaches of fiduciary duty related to the historical and potential compensation that was awarded certain senior officers and executives of Bank of America Corp. was announced.
If you are a current long term investor in Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) stock, including those who purchased their BAC shares prior to 2007 and continue to currently hold their BAC shares, you have certain options and you should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc by email mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 1554.
Kenneth R. Feinberg, the Obama administration’s special master for executive compensation, reviewed over the past five months compensations paid to the 25 highest earners of 419 banks between October 2008, when the first US Troubled Asset Relief Program funds were dispensed, and February 2009, when the stimulus bill took effect. Kenneth Feinberg said he immediately excluded most of the 419 companies from his examination because they said they didn’t pay any executives more than $500,000, but he wound up citing 17 banks for making troublesome payments. 11 of the 17 banks making troublesome payments have already repaid the government for money they borrowed under TARP.
Mr. Feinberg determined that banks paid out $1.6 billion in unwarranted bonuses, retention awards, stock grants and “golden parachute” retirement packages to their top earners at the height of the financial crisis.
Bank of America Corporation, the bank and financial holding company located in Charlotte, NC, is among the 17 companies. Bank of America has already come under fire for allowing Merrill Lynch & Co. to dole out $3.6 billion in bonuses, even as it was struggling with mounting losses, shortly after Bank of America agreed to buy it. Another of the other 16 companies was Citigroup, which was reportedly identified for having the most egregious compensation packages, according to government officials with knowledge of Mr. Feinberg’s report. Citigroup reportedly handed out several hundred million dollars in pay in 2008 as it neared collapse.
Nearly two-thirds of the payouts amount to Andrew J. Hall, owner of a nearly 1000 year old German Medieval Castle, who reportedly received a payout of more than $100 million in connection with spin-off of Citigroup’s Phibro energy trading unit for $370 million to Occidental Petroleum in 2009.
In most cases the banks told Feinberg that they were obligated by employment contracts to pay the bonuses and other compensation, but Kenneth R. Feinberg said to reporters that those 17 companies exercised “poor judgment” for making the $1.6 billion in “ill-advised payments” to their top paid employees shortly after accepting TARP funds from the federal government. “They shouldn’t have made these payments,’” Feinberg told reporters. “They were ill-advised. They were troublesome.”
According to the investigation by a law firm the investigation on behalf of current long term investors in Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) stock focuses, among other things, on possible shareholder claims that certain of Bank of America
