Business relations between “Silk Road Group” and Kazakh Investment Bank “ended with mutually acceptable terms”. That was declared by “Silk Road Group”'s founder Giorgi Ramishvili and Kazakhstan's ambassador to Georgia Yermukhamet Yertysbayev at the meeting today. As “Silk Road Group” noted, “jointly founded Georgian-Kazakh bank is currently owned by Georgian side only”. To note, “Silk Road Group” owned 50.99% in Georgian “BTA Bank”, while Kazakh “BTA” – 49%. “BTA Bank” finished the 3rd quarter with loss of 4.19 million lari. At the same time, the company said that they continue development of investment projects in telecommunications and energy jointly with Kazakh partners. First implemented Georgian-Kazakh project is Tbilisi hotel “Radisson Blu Iveria”, totally re-built by “Silk Road Group”, said the company and added that another hotel (in Tsinandali) will be finished in 2016. “Silk Road Group” was the first company, which had delivered Kazakh oil to Western market through Batumi port in 2001, the company pointed. In the following years, hundreds of thousands t of raw oil and oil-products from Kazakhstan were transferred to various European ports, said “Silk Road Group”. (Sarke Daily News, December 12, 2014)
