June 6, 2011 - Banks in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine have slowly begun to recover from the worst of the financial crisis. And Standard & Poor's has observed many positive trends in these countries' banks over the past 12 months, including improving asset quality, and stabilizing funding and liquidity. We expect these positive trends will lead to positive rating changes over the next 12 months. In this CreditMatters TV segment, Standard & Poor's credit analyst Annette Ess take an in-depth look at the trends and metrics affecting banks in this region.

Led by Mexico and Russia, central banks from 11 countries and the Eurozone added a combined 57.9 tonnes of gold in March 2012. Mexico raised its reserves by 16.8 tonnes, Russia added 16.5, Turkey 11.5 tonnes, Kazakhstan 4.3 tonnes, Ukraine 1.2 tonnes, while other ex-Soviet republics including Tajikistan and Belarus added less than half a tonne. In percentage terms Argentina made the biggest bet on gold, upping its reserves of gold by more than 10% to 61.7 tonnes over the month. The only sellers were the Czech Republic which reduced its bullion reserves by 4500 ounces.. Bullion purchases by central banks have provided a strong underpinning for the gold price. The world's central banks added a combined 439.7 tonnes last year - an almost fifty year high. Bayram Dincer, analyst in Switzerland said: "We expect that the recent trend of the official sector being a net buyer will continue in the medium and long term. Gold will continue to be a preferred central bank reserve asset. It is currency protection and stabilization.".. Bullion bulls are now focusing on any announcements that may emanate from the US Federal "Reserve" Bank. After failing to scale the psychologically important $1800 an ounce bar at the end of February, gold has taken a few hard knocks on the way to its current trading level of around $1640. The spikes downward have all been thanks to Ben Bernanke and the US Federal Reserve and the fortunes of the precious metal seem increasingly linked to monetary policy in ...

One of the most painful episodes in the history of Ukraine is being used by a bank in the US for commercial gain. It is offering customers the chance to go shopping with a famine-themed credit card -- a move being seen in Ukraine as a moral outrage. The catastrophic 1932-1933 famine -- known as the Holodomor -- claimed at least 3 million lives in Ukraine alone, with several more million perishing across what is now central Russia and Kazakhstan.

Welcome to Capital Account. With Italian and Spanish bond yields back on the rise, we've recently seen the Dutch government collapse under the weight of austerity talks and French president Nicolas Sarkozy defeated after the first-round of elections. As price discovery is guarded against in the financial markets, are we seeing its emergence reflected in the delicacy of eurozone governments as discontent is being "priced into" the democratic process? Central banks may not be waiting to find out if major currencies -- the euro or the US dollar -- will collapse or be devalued. They are stocking up on gold. IMF data shows Mexico added close to 17 tons of gold to its reserves in March. Turkey, Russia and Kazakhstan are buying gore too. We speak with GoldMoney founder James Turk about why he thinks central banks could be guarding themselves from the confetti cannon currency being shot around the globe. And in the US, we've seen oil prices become a political football in an election year. We'll look at what the onion market can teach us about oil speculation. What is really to blame for higher oil prices?
