The National Currency and financer’s day in Kazakhstan!

November 15 is celebrated as the "Day of National Currency of Republic of Kazakhstan", the day when the tenge was brought into circulation in 1993. In 1995, a tenge printing factory was opened in Kazakhstan. The first consignment of tenge was printed abroad, in the U.K. The first coins were minted in Germany.

Despite many recent discussions and talks about the devaluation of the tenge it is remaining stable. Officials from The National Bank of Kazakhstan (NBK) claim that there is no threat of the tenge devaluation. Here is official foreign exchange rate on 01/01/2013 - 15/11/2013 taken from official web-site of NBK:

Also, today’s day is celebrated as the finance workers day of Kazakhstan.

Our congratulations and wishes of success in their career and in general! We believe in your professionalism and your great effort in development of the financial system of the country.
