At the same time, the national long-term credit rating was increased from kzAA+ to kzAAA and long-term bonds assigned BB+ to BBB.
It is noted that Fund operates almost all strategic assets of Kazakhstan’s corporate sector (including oil and gas) which account for almost 40% of the countries’ total GDP.
S&P believes that Fund is the main instrument for economic and social purposes in Government and they do not expect that this situation will change in the medium term.

Samruk-Kazyna’s rating outlook to stable is due to the improved sovereign credit ratings of Kazakhstan.
