“Geopolitical landscape has changed dramatically this year and made it difficult for my family to relocate to Kazakhstan. It became determinant in making this hard decision to resign preterm as the CEO. I am going back to Latvia. I take this opportunity to thank all Forte colleagues for a unique chance to be a part of very intense period in the development of ForteBank. We have used every opportunity to grow and increase our business in these turbulent times, but at the same time compliance and low risk tactics have been a priority for us. It has been a great opportunity to get to know incredible Kazakh culture, learn about domestic financial industry and I hope my contribution to Forte has laid further ground for successful growth,” - Reinis Rubenis noted.
