The Kazakh Ministry of Transport
is set to increase the transport industry’s share in Kazakhstan’s GDP to nine
percent by 2026, as instructed by the country’s President Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev. Kazakhstan currently operates 13 international transport corridors,
including five railway and eight road corridors. Reconstruction is underway on
11,000 kilometers of roads, with full completion of repairs scheduled for next
year. Meanwhile, about 900 kilometers have already been put into operation in
2023. In general, Kazakhstan intends to strengthen its position as a key
transit hub, with a particular focus on the development of the Trans-Caspian International
Transport Route and the maritime ports on the Caspian Sea. At a government
meeting, Kazakh Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov instructed to take measures to
ensure sea ferry construction from 2024. He also noted the need to address the
regulation of strategic access routes, consider the establishment of an
Institute for the Development of Transport and Logistics, and provide land
reservations for infrastructure projects related to road and railway
development.
