The procedure for selecting national investment projects and projects of state significance has been modified to include certain activities in the subsoil sector. This change specifically targets organizations with full state participation.
New rules for state-owned companies
According to Resolution No. 745, signed on November 6, 2026, by Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Adylbek Kasymaliev, amendments have been made to the existing regulations. Previously, subsoil use projects were entirely excluded from the selection process for national investment status.
The new rules introduce an exception for organizations where 100% of shares or stakes in the authorized capital are held by the state. These entities can now compete for national investment project status or projects of state significance. However, this exception does not apply to private companies or organizations with mixed ownership forms, which remain subject to the previous restrictions.
Purpose of the changes
The decision aims to support the implementation of strategically important subsoil use projects and to improve mechanisms for investment support and accompaniment. The amendments also seek to refine the use of state human resources and clarify the selection process.
