AN OVERVIEW ON KAZAKHSTAN

The Republic of Kazakhstan is located in Central Asia at the crossroads of

Europe and Asia. With a population of an estimated 17.5 million as of July 2015. Kazakhstan is the ninth largest country in the world in terms of territory and is also the world’s largest landlocked country having its borders with Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and China.

Kazakhstan is now a member of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), The international organization was created during USSR breakup to regulate the relations of cooperation among some countries of the former USSR.

After the proclamation of independence in 1991 and the adoption of the Declaration of State Sovereignty, the President of Kazakhstan adopted the development strategy “Kazakhstan-2030” in 1997 which highlighted the formation and development of Kazakhstan as an independent sovereign state. The strategy Kazakhstan-2030 included seven long-term priorities: National Security; the internal political stability and consolidation of society; Economic Growth; based on an open market economy, with a high level of foreign investments and domestic savings; Health, Education and Welfare of the citizens, Energy Resources, Infrastructure and Professional state.

After over 20 years of independence, Kazakhstan's economy has passed a series of complicated hurdles, during which the country has experienced the effects of three crises:

1. The Soviet Union collapse crisis, which the country managed to overcome only by 1997-1998.

2. The Asian Crisis of 1998.

3. The Global Financial and Economic Crisis of 2007-2008

All these hurdles have been a test of strength for Kazakhstan which the country has successfully resisted. The most difficult test for Kazakhstan, out of the three was the

USSR collapse Crisis, the origins of which were in the Soviet’s economy. During the Soviet years, the country was developing Metallurgy, Machine-Building, Oil, The Chemical Industry, The Food Industry, as well as the Agriculture Industry specializing in the production of grain and livestock products. In addition, Kazakhstan has significant natural resource potential with 99 elements from the periodic table. The production and reserves ranking of the natural resources are highlighted in Graphs 1 and 2.Graph 1: Kazakhstan in the world ranking for reserves

After the collapse of a single state, there were severe economic and social damages for all countries within the Soviet Union, including Kazakhstan. The huge potential of Kazakhstan suddenly found itself lacking demand from the consumers of the other republics as they either refused to buy products from Kazakhstan or simply could not afford them. The economy of Kazakhstan cracked, which was then followed by the collapse of the universal scale. The total drop of the Soviet’s economy exceeded 50%, in comparison to the Great Depression in the United States which caused damage of 29%.

The government developed and implemented a program to exit the Financial and Economic Crisis and ensure macroeconomic stability. Tax, trade and investment laws were established to ensure the free movement of goods and capital. Kazakhstan is a leader among the CIS countries in attracting foreign investments and the trade legislation causes no serious complaints among foreign partners. Since the declaration of independence, one of the top priorities of the state policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is to maintain a favorable investment climate and further promotion of foreign direct investments within the country. On that note, Kazakhstan introduced a Law on Investments in 2003, which has granted investors with a number of investment preferences and exemptions.Despite a significant decline in the global economy, the country has managed to keep GDP growth at 1.2 % in 2009 and achieved a substantial growth over the next years as illustrated in Graph 3.

Kazakhstan is now one of the most developed countries within the region with significant foreign investment and increasing GDP. Recently, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has forecasted GDP to increase 3.25 % in 2016.

OIL AND GAS THE FOUNDATION OF THE ECONOMY

Oil & Gas Sector Overview

Oil is the main wealth and the foundation of the economy of Kazakhstan. Oil and Gas regions cover more than 60% of the country’s territory and about a third of prospective deposits is contracted. The main reserves are concentrated in the giant deposits – Kashagan, Tengiz and Karachaganak, the reserves of each are estimated to be 1 billion tonnes of oil equivalent.

• Kashagan will resume the production in Q4 2016.

• Tengiz is under development with implementation of two major projects – Future Growth Project and Wellhead Pressure Management Project.

• Karachaganak – the final investment decision is expected to be made in 2017.

The Oil and Gas industry attracts two-thirds of total foreign investments and provides 70% of Kazakhstan’s export.

Oil Refinery

In 2014, Kazakhstan oil refineries processed almost 15 million tonnes of crude oil. At the moment, three oil refineries are undergoing modernization and is expected to be completed in 2017. The estimated refining capacity will reach 18 million tonnes of oil per year, enabling the country to fully satisfy the domestic demand. The following refineries are being reconstructed:

• Atyrau Refinery Modernization

• Shymkent Refinery Modernization

• Pavlodar Refinery

In addition, Kazakhstan plans to construct a fourth refinery in order to stop importing oil products and to be completely independent in refining its oil.

Oil forecast for 2016

The Ministry of Energy forecast for oil in 2016 indicates that if the price per barrel is USD 30 the production volume will drop to 73 million tonnes. For the price of USD 40 per barrel the production estimated is at 77 million tonnes, and at a price of USD 50 the production might reach 80 million tonnes. According the country’s budget for 2016-

2018, the oil production level is estimated as 77 million tonnes in 2016 and the targeted price for oil in 2016 will amount to USD 40 per barrel.

The budget for 2015 was formed on the basis of USD 50 per barrel with expected production of 80 million tonnes. Considering that as of October 2015 the country produced 67 million tonnes, the forecast is justified.

MINING

Today, oil, gas and solid minerals occupy large share of Kazakhstan’s exports and makeup about 70% of total exports, where 17% is metal exports making the mining industry one of the most competitive industries in Kazakhstan.

The total geological reserves and coal resources of Kazakhstan are estimated at 150 billion and out of 99 elements that are discovered in Kazakhstan, 70 elements have been explored and 60 have been involved in production. The country’s main mineral resources are outlined in Table 1.

Kazakhstan is also rich in cooper ore reserves and cooper mining is ranked seventh in the world. 92 % of the cooper is exported. Large deposits of copper are located at Konyrat and Bozshakol. The Bozshakol mine is currently being developed by Kazakhstan’s major cooper producer KAZ Minerals and is expected to be commissioned in Q1 2016.

According to the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, in 2014 there was a 0.1% growth in mining industry due to growth of natural gas production (7.6%), 7.3% growth in metal ores and 10.1% growth in non-ferrous metal ores.

In the first half of 2015, industrial production volume has increased by 0.6% due to fast growth in the mining industry (1.1%).

The Ministry of National Economy forecasts the added value of the Mining Industry during the period of 2016-2020 will increase by 2.5% annually.

TRANSPORTATION

Over the past 11 years, up to USD 8 billion was allocated for the development of the Road Sector. Over the years, more than 48,000 kilometers of roads and 1,100 kilometers of railways were built and reconstructed.

Currently, Kazakhstan is reviving the New Silk Road, creating the Western Europe – Western China main transport corridor.

Kazakhstan opened access to the Gulf countries and the East by building Uzen-Turkmenistan Border railway line and paved the way to China and the entire Asian subcontinent by constructing Zhetygen-Korgas road.

The state program for the development and integration of the infrastructure for the transport system up to 2020 is carried out together with experts from the World Bank’s Transport Sector.

The aim of the program is to ensure needs of economy and population in quality transport services, develop local Transport Infrastructure in the regions, implement transit capacity through the development of transport corridors within the country ensuring their integration into the International Transport System and to increase transit capacity through Kazakhstan twice in 2020 and 10 times in 2050. The program scope is:

• Expansion of the port of Aktau - increasing the port capacity to 20 million tonnes by 2020.

• Development of Railway Industry, which includes:

1. Modernization of railway stations - in 2016, 42 stations will go through the reconstruction and 89 stations will be reconstructed in 2017.

2. Overhaul of 7,000 kilometers of railway

3. Construction of new railways

• Road development – total of 30,000 kilometers will be built and reconstructed.

• Development of the civil aviation industry.

Until 2020, Kazakhstan will invest USD 20 billion in the development of the transport industry.

In addition, Nurly Zhol program aims for construction of additional roads and railway infrastructure development of key routes.

THE NEXT STEP FOR KAZAKHSTAN

Overall, despite a decline in global investment activity, Kazakhstan has been annually attracting about USD 20 billion in foreign investment for the past five years.

The Ministry of Investment and Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan has announced its plans to attract the investors and state that the most important task for this year is to continue the implementation of ongoing projects and to prevent the decline in investment.

Firstly planned to complete is the transition to the international standards by the Investment Committee of Ministry for Investment and Development. The Ministry is currently implementing the recommendations of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to improve the investment climate and investment competitiveness of the country. Secondly, the government will concentrate on two main areas:

1. Attracting new potential investors

2. Continue to actively work with companies that have been already implementing their projects in Kazakhstan.

The Government of Kazakhstan’s current and future goals are to make sure that the Republic of Kazakhstan rises as an economic hub for investments.
