The authorities in Kazakhstan are budgeting for an increase in infrastructure spending for 2012. The Transport Ministry in the country’s capital of Almaty have set a budget of US$549 million for 2012, which represents an increase of 32.2% from the budget for 2011. Key projects include the construction of several road interchanges, main streets, and overhauls to major roads. The country has extensive natural resources and new transport infrastructure is required to help Kazakhstan develop its economy and provide access to outlying areas where many of these resources are situated.
