The new akim of Shymkent is one of the richest and most influential people in Kazakhstan. Secret billionaires of Kazakhstan The richest Kazakh

This time, for the first time in five years, the total wealth of the top 50 richest businessmen in Kazakhstan has fallen sharply - up to $21.652 billion compared to last year $25.519 billion It is much less even than the result of the first rating in 2012 - for $2.27 billion. The average condition of the participant has decreased to $433 million from $510 million and $479 million respectively. The minimum cost of an "entrance ticket" to the club of fifty has fallen in price over the year from $90 to $74 million- another evidence that business, along with the rest of the economy, is in a certain transitional period, when the once powerful flow of oil and other raw material revenues has dried up, and new ones are not visible yet.

The result could have been even more modest, but in recent months, after a long-term decline, metals began to slowly rise in price and the price of oil stabilized, which increased the fortunes of the top 5 list in total. and $800 million (per $100 million - , And , for $200 million - , for $300 million - ) compared to the March Forbes Global Billionaires Ranking.

How sustainable this growth will be depends on China, which is the main buyer of metals in the world. And now there are many questions for the Celestial Empire, the severity of which, in particular, was expressed by Ibragimov's partner in the Eurasian Resources Group Alexander Mashkevich in Davos (he traveled there, by the way, as part of the Kazakh delegation), who very emotionally called China "the killer of any initiatives in the metallurgy and mining industry." According to him, over the past 15 years, the consumption of raw materials has been growing. by 4% per year only thanks to China, but will now be significantly reduced, since "50% production there is unprofitable. "I dated Chalco(Aluminum Corporation of China Ltd, state-owned aluminum company of China. - ). They continue to work, but lose money in the process. Let's say the production cost for Chalco is $2 thousand per ton of aluminum, but they sell about $1.3 thousand and are not going to stop. On the contrary, they want to build new ventures», - he said.

If Alexander Antonovich could still exaggerate in the heat of competition, head of the Russia in the Asia-Pacific Program at the Carnegie Moscow Center Alexandra Gabueva it cannot be suspected. At a recent conference of IC "Eurasia" on risk insurance, Gabuev named among the four main problems of China, which in the long term will be felt throughout the world, just excess production capacity and projects of state-owned companies, "the infrastructure usefulness of which is not obvious." The speaker cited the example of Yunnan Province, where two airports the size of Heathrow have recently been built 150 km apart: “It is clear that in this small province by Chinese standards, even one such airport is cramped. However, both county chiefs easily persuaded the party leader, since a large construction site gives a rapid increase in GRP, and it is precisely this and the absence of unrest that is the key to the career growth of regional chiefs, who change about once every five years. This happens all the time there, as a result, unproductive debts reach, according to various estimates, 70% debt portfolio.

Overproduction of capacities is connected with similar reasons: key sectors of the Chinese economy are represented by state-owned companies that are guided not by signals of supply and demand, but either by the career interests of management or by the desire to occupy the largest market share. Last year, the Chinese State Planning Committee announced a program to transfer capacities partially to Kazakhstan and Russia. “But they will have to compete with Chinese industry, therefore, there are big doubts about the profitability of these enterprises”,- says Gabuev.

Surely the Chinese authorities see these risks as well as an expert from Moscow.

Many participants in the rating, in view of the current trends in the commodity market, are beginning to try their hand at food production and the agro-industrial complex, also mostly counting on China. Apparently, the food market there is more stable than the commodity market, especially considering that the average salary in China in dollar terms is now much higher than in Kazakhstan.

Other an important event- Downgrading of the sovereign rating of Kazakhstan. In this regard, its founder is indicative . However Victor Nikolsky from S&P believes that the step separating the rating from "junk" should not be underestimated: “In fact, this is a very important demarcation line for investors: it runs between BBB- and BBB+. Kazakhstan does not have geopolitical risks and sanctions when banks cannot lend to entire sectors. The reassessment of your rating, by the way, is largely related to the situation in Russia. The banking sector, of course, is in a bad state, but we know a situation where this bad state lasts for decades - for example, in Belarus.”. According to the analyst, the sovereign rating is not always an insurmountable barrier for corporate credit rating. “If a company has diversified its revenue, then a sovereign rating is not an obstacle, Nikolsky says. - We take its capital, all assets and launch a very severe stress scenario, which is comparable to a sovereign default. If after that the company has at least some capital left, then it is considered that its rating is higher than the sovereign.”

In this regard, the experience of several rating participants is indicative, who, contrary to the general trend, nevertheless increased or retained their fortune by diversifying their business not only sectorally, but also geographically, successfully investing in countries whose economy continues to grow and whose currency is stable. Therefore, the opinion expressed a month ago (No. 46 of the rating) in an interview that for Kazakhstan, due to the small volume of the domestic market and the competencies accumulated by business, a more significant marker of the success of the economy is not the gross domestic product, but the gross national income. It does not matter where exactly the company earns and grows; it is important that she is from Kazakhstan.

Reference: Born on November 13, 1957 in the city of Guryev (now Atyrau) of the Kazakh SSR. As Secretary of the Security Council, Bulat Utemuratov was appointed Chairman of the National Commission for Democracy and Civil Society under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan by Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan (November 2004 - March 2006). Since July 2007, he has been a member of the political council of the People's Democratic Party Nur Otan. Bulat Utemuratov got into the world list of billionaires after the sale at the very beginning of the global crisis of 91.8% of the ATF Bank he created (in 1995 together with the Dutch company Mees Person) to the Italian UniCredit Group for $ 2.117 million. But he did not leave the financial sector - he owns ForteBank and Kassa Nova. Cumulative amount net assets as of January 1, 2013 - about $110 million, and both banks showed in 2012, though small, but profit.

When the Forbes global ranking of billionaires was published in March, Timur and Dinara Kulibayev came to the top among the richest Kazakh businessmen for the first time. The growth in the value of their assets was associated not only with a general increase in prices for minerals during the second half of last year and the beginning of this year, but also with an increase in the capitalization of Halyk Bank on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) after the takeover of Kazkommertsbank, with the receipt of state assistance in the amount of 2 4 trillion tenge and additional capitalization by the shareholders of Halyk by 185 billion tenge. However, then the cost of the bank's GDR on the LSE decreased, and at the end of April (the assessment of the Kazakh list was closed on April 22), the Kulibayevs lost $100 million each in the Forbes online rating.

Vladimir Kim's fortune, on the contrary, due to the growth in the capitalization of the public KAZ Minerals, where he is the controlling shareholder, grew by $300 million in two months, from $3.1 billion to $3.4 billion, as a result of which he topped the rating for the third time. the richest businessmen of Forbes Kazakhstan.

Due to the growth in the fortunes of billionaires this year, the total fortune of the largest businessmen in Kazakhstan set a record, exceeding $26 billion. fell to $21.7 billion.

The list of multimillionaires has undergone changes this year due to legislative restrictions. Thus, Forbes Kazakhstan could not officially confirm the presence of Kazakh citizenship of two former members of the list, who sold their assets a long time ago - Nurlan Bizakov and Igor Shkolnik. In an official response, the Ministry of Internal Affairs refused to provide us with such information, referring to Art. 11 of the Law on the Protection of Personal Data and considering citizenship as personal data of limited access that cannot be disclosed without the consent of the subject or his legal representative. As a result, these businessmen were excluded from the assessment.

In general, 19 participants in the rating improved their positions in the current top 50, worsened 20, and five retained last year's places. He returned after a long absence to the list of Nurali Aliyev (No. 26 in 2012 and No. 32 in 2013).

According to the results of our traditional survey, it turned out that the vast majority of multimillionaires in Kazakhstan do not use any social networks, and those who use prefer Facebook. Exactly half of the respondents do not believe in the future of cryptocurrencies. And even of those who believe, a minority invests in them. Of the domestically produced goods, the rating participants, except, of course, food, buy clothes, shoes, furniture, medicines, textiles and building materials. In the nomination “The most beautiful city or region of Kazakhstan”, Almaty won by a wide margin, which is probably natural, although one could expect more diversity. In addition to the southern capital, only Astana and Aktau were named. There was also one answer: "The whole of Kazakhstan, especially the steppe", but due to the lack of an accurate regional reference, it was not included in the statistics.

Publications in the media

Two years ago, the name of Nurlan Sauranbaev appeared in a critical article in the Vremya newspaper. In the article “Who “ordered” the Kazakh defense industry?” says:

“A loud scandal is brewing in the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan ... recently, between them and the troops of different branches - the main customers of products - another link has appeared - a single national operator represented by joint-stock company"Kazakhstan engineering". Now, according to Kazakh entrepreneurs, the entire state defense order will come exclusively from Kazengineering, which, by the way, has neither its own production facilities, nor trained personnel in this area, and much more.

According to Vladimir, this happened at one of the meetings held by Deputy Minister of Defense Nurlan Sauranbayev (he is also the chairman of the board of directors of Kazakhstan Engineering JSC). At this fateful meeting, Delta IT made it clear: from now on, they will no longer be able to supply their radio communications directly to the troops - they will need to return the stations to the Israeli company Elbit Sistems (co-founder of Delta IT), and from there the finished products will go to the plant. Kirov in the North Kazakhstan region, better known as the ZIK-100 .... ".

…National Company Kazakhstan Engineering JSC is part of the Samruk-Kazyna National Welfare Fund and is under the control of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is a holding structure that ensures a unified financial, production and technological policy at the largest military enterprises of the republic.

"Everything in small cars!"

Four years ago, Kazakhstan announced an austerity regime. The government approved the large-scale Energy Saving 2020 program. More than a trillion tenge will be spent on the strategic project. They want to transfer Kazakhstanis from SUVs to small cars, they wrote in the media. Then new program promoted by Nurlan Sauranbayev, being the Vice Minister of Industry and New Technologies of the Republic of Kazakhstan:

This program will affect absolutely everyone. It's from every family to large enterprises. Not only residential! This will also apply to large objects. Everyone should have metering systems. If a person or a company does not pay, then it spends this energy without saving, the official explained to the people.

Billion tourists a year

The Karavan newspaper recalls the loud statement of Nurlan Sauranbaev, who, as Vice Minister of Industry and New Technologies (it was then), said that “... the total potential of the tourism industry in Kazakhstan is about one billion tourists a year.” Three years after the high-profile promise of the official, Almaty was expecting about 30,000 foreign tourists-fans for the Universiade-2017. And they came to waste money and tear the throats of a little more than 2 thousand. The Asian Games-2011 showed almost the same result. The head of the Tourism Association of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Rashida Shaikenova, noted that even "10 million arrivals in the next five years is impossible." Although the industry was given the task to rise in the international ranking of competitiveness of travel and excursions to at least 90th place.
