Kazakh Parliament approves three international loans worth $1.3 billion

Kazakhstan will attract $1.3 billion from three international banks. The funds will strengthen the country’s economic resilience and ensure a balanced fiscal policy. They will be provided by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD). The corresponding agreements were approved by the Senate, an upper house of the Kazakh Parliament. According to lawmakers, the loans will also ensure the fulfillment of all state obligations under the national budget. Specifically, the funds will be directed towards infrastructure development, the social sector, the transport sector, and other key areas.

«The agreements considered were developed with the aim of implementing important projects. We hope that, in the future, these laws will contribute to maintaining socio-economic stability and the further implementation of the country’s key strategic priorities for economic development,» said Senate Chairperson Maulen Ashimbayev.
