The framework focuses on accountability for impact, responsible leveraging of entrusted capital, holistic risk management, and proper governance. It is used to assess Baiterek, Kazakhstan's national financial holding-a conglomerate of DFIs-and to derive policy options and practical recommendations for the given country context. If the recommended reforms are implemented, Baiterek will be braced for positive impact on Kazakhstani firms, households, and the environment while also helping create deeper financial markets through robust mobilization of private capital. A reformed Baiterek could become a leading global DFI conglomerate and a role model for similar institutions in other countries. However, if too few or none of the recommended reforms are undertaken, Baiterek will need to brace for further criticism from unhappy stakeholders. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Melecky, Pasquale Di Benedetta, Ismael Ahmad Fontan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1464820163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781464820168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Bank Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.26d","brand":"Martin Melecky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652064276735,"sku":"9781464820168","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba9c877f-b6b9-405e-985b-f2569a0e22b8.jpg?v=1704214399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/braced-for-impact-martin-melecky-9781464820168","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
