The submitter is the founder of Nomad Finance LLP, which has carried out activities with Astana Finance JSC. Specifically, issues raised related to the alleged non-payment of debt in accordance with the company’s obligations following its default in 2008.
On 18 July 2024, the NCP published a final statement deciding not to accept the specific instance for further examination. Based on the information provided during the initial assessment phase, the NCP considered that an offer of good offices would not contribute to the purposes and effectiveness of the Guidelines.
