Attracting investment and accelerating the
implementation of major projects were discussed at a government meeting of the
Coordination Council on Cooperation with International Financial Organizations.
Special attention was paid to initiatives in the field of the energy
transition. Among the proposals was the creation of a unified investment
platform in the energy sector, intended to bring together priority energy
transformation projects and help attract long-term international financing.
Over the past year, the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Ecology and
Natural Resources, together with the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (EBRD), have worked on the platform’s concept. The mechanism is
designed to ensure coordination of climate finance by pooling resources from
international financial institutions, government bodies, and the private
sector. The meeting also reviewed infrastructure projects in water management,
flood risk management, and public utilities. Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov emphasized
the importance of cooperation with international financial institutions and
instructed government agencies, together with partners, to refine proposals and
ensure coordination and the timely implementation of joint investment projects.
