Samruk Kazyna is implementing 46 investment projects worth over
33 trillion tenge across sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, energy,
transport, logistics and others. This was reported by Samruk Kazyna CEO Nurlan
Zhakupov at a meeting of the Board of Directors with the participation of Kazakh
Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov. The meeting focused on the Fund’s performance
in 2024 and its further development in line with directives set by President
Tokayev at an expanded government meeting. This year, 66 settlements in the
Zhetisu region are set to get a gas supply due to commissioning of the
Taldykorgan-Usharal main gas pipeline. Additionally, a desalination plant with
a capacity of 50,000 cubic meters per day will be launched in the Mangystau
region. A significant boost to transit development will come from increasing
the capacity of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route and the
Dostyk-Moiynty railway section. Bektenov instructed to intensify efforts to
attract private investment, with a focus on infrastructure, industry,
transport, digitalization and artificial intelligence. He also emphasized the
need for strict control over project implementation timelines and overall efficiency.
«The construction of the second line of the
Beineu-Bozoi-Shymkent gas pipeline, two gas processing plants in Kashagan and
Zhanaozen, as well as polyethylene and butadiene production plants - we must
ensure the timely commissioning of all these projects. I have visited most of
these facilities and seen them firsthand. Therefore, this issue requires focused
attention,» Bektenov noted.
