PM Confirms The 2000 Privatisation Programme
The government of Kazakhstan will continue to implement the privatisation programme in 2000. “Neither a roll-back, nor a slowing down in the pace of privatisation can be allowed,” Kazakh Prime Minister Kasymzhomart Tokayev told the cabinet at its first meeting this year on Tuesday. He confirmed that the privatisation of state property will be continued this year and that the blue chips programme will be implemented. He said that Kazakhstan is expected to gain over USD400 million from privatisation in 2000.
