Georgia may reconsider debt obligations with Kazakhstan
Tbilisi. November 20. Kazakhstan Today - Georgia's and Kazakhstan's debts may be reconsidered, Georgian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Kakha Kaladze told media before a government meeting today.
According to Trend, KazTransGas owes 80 million lari ($1=1.66 lari) to the Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation. Georgia has obligations towards Kazakhstan. It has failed to make payments all these years.
"Kazakhstan wants to regain the company, so it is possible to change the debt that Georgia has toward Kazakhstan," Kakha Kaladze said.
Kazakh company KazTransGas owned the assets of Tbilisi gas distribution company Tbilgaz in May 2006 by winning an investment contest. The investor paid $12.5 million for the company.
The Georgian Ministry of Energy stated in 2009 that the Kazakh company KazTransGas-Tbilisi accumulated big debts in Georgia. Afterwards, a decision was made to appoint a special manager from Georgia. At present, Kazakhstan intends to regain control over the gas distribution company.

Kazakhstan turns to high-value added manufacturing with building polyethylene plant it Atyrau region
The Head of State has identified deep processing of hydrocarbons as one of the key areas of development of the oil and gas sector. The priority for our economy is high conversion production producing products with a rapid increase in added value in the technological chain with an export orientation. The added value between the initial feedstock ethane and the third conversion product polyethylene increases 20 times, from $80-90 to $1600-1800 per tonne. The Polyethylene project will certainly give a serious impetus to the development of both the manufacturing industry and the country's economy as a whole. According to experts' calculations, the contribution to the country's GDP by 2030 from the implementation of the project is estimated at approximately 1.2%," Olzhas Bektenov said.
We on the part of the state provide comprehensive support in the implementation of projects important for the country's economy. At the same time, we expect you to increase the share of local content. For this purpose, it is necessary to determine the list of goods and equipment that will be mandatorily purchased from domestic producers. Special attention should be paid to training of Kazakhstani specialists and transfer of competences. It is important for us to maximise the attraction of local personnel, including for management positions in the project. We count on a similar approach in the implementation of other joint projects," Prime Minister emphasised.
