Prime Minister Askar Mamin chaired a meeting of the board of Samruk-Kazyna Sovereign Wealth Fund.

During the meeting, the implementation and adjustment of the Comprehensive Privatization Plan for 2016-2020 were discussed. The report on the fund’s risk management policy was heard and measures to improve the internal control system further were approved. In addition, the results of the Foundation’s charitable work were summed up, and a number of procedural issues were resolved.

A decision was made to transfer to the municipal property of akimats of the respective regional centers — JSC Atyrau International Airport, JSC Aktobe International Airport and JSC Pavlodar Airport. This decision was made taking into account the need to ensure transport accessibility and mobility of the population, as well as the social importance of airports for the development of regions.
