Kazakhstan's Deputy PM Drives Energy and Transport Sector Reforms

Nurlan Nalibayev, Kazakhstan’s First Deputy Prime Minister, recently led a series of high-level meetings with the country’s largest state-owned companies. The discussions focused on key sectors, including oil, gas, and transport infrastructure. Senior executives from major firms attended to outline their current work and future strategies. The meetings brought together leaders from KazMunayGas, QazaqGaz, Kazakhstan Temir Zholy, and KazAvtoZhol. Each company presented reports on their ongoing operations and upcoming projects. Nalibayev listened to their assessments before issuing clear instructions to meet performance targets and ensure timely project delivery.

Strategic priorities took centre stage during the talks. Topics included modernising infrastructure, boosting efficiency in the oil and gas industry, and expanding the gas sector. A key outcome was the call for stronger coordination between government bodies and industry players. Participants were also tasked with preparing detailed proposals for the further development of these sectors. The aim was to align national goals with practical steps for growth and improvement.

The sessions resulted in concrete directives for Kazakhstan’s energy and transport industries. Companies now face deadlines to implement projects and meet set benchmarks. Follow-up actions will determine how these plans translate into progress for the country’s economic sectors.
