In the coming years Kazakhstan plans to implement large-scale public-private partnerships (PPPs) involving investments of billions of tenge.
These expenditures are planned to be approved as part of the draft Law on the Republican Budget for 2025-2027, which has already been submitted to the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is important to note that this is only a draft, and the final amounts may change during discussions. However, the current figures provide insight into the government’s priorities for the next three years. Let’s take a detailed look at where these funds will be allocated.
