ASTANA, Kazakhstan, May 22. Chinese credit
rating agency China Lianhe Credit Rating Co., Ltd. has assigned the
Republic of Kazakhstan and its government bonds a top-tier
long-term sovereign credit rating of “AAA” with a “Stable” outlook,
Trend reports via
Kazakh Ministry of Economy.
The assessment, issued within the framework of Kazakhstan’s
sovereign debt issuance on the Chinese capital market, positions
the country as a highly secure destination for international
investment.
In its evaluation, the agency noted that Kazakhstan’s
macroeconomic policy framework is effectively oriented toward
sustainable economic growth, disinflation, and deep structural
diversification of the economy. It also underlined that the
consistent implementation of reforms continues to enhance the
efficiency of public administration.
The report identified key drivers of economic growth, including
Kazakhstan’s new investment policy, a gradual reduction of state
participation in the economy, strong support for small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and accelerated development of the
agricultural and infrastructure sectors.
Furthermore, the agency emphasized Kazakhstan’s relatively low
public debt level and its strong capacity to meet external
obligations. The “AAA” rating reflects the country’s highest level
of creditworthiness and strong resilience to external economic
shocks.
