The Kazakhstan Ministry of Finance has proposed expanding the permitted activities of state-owned Digital Silk Road Company to include securing the performance of customs obligations through guarantees and property collateral. The change would amend the government-approved list of activities that may be conducted by state enterprises, majority state-owned legal entities and their affiliates. The proposal is intended to improve customs security mechanisms and reduce costs for transit operators. It also aims to support Kazakhstan’s role as an international transit corridor and develop the country’s transport and logistics capacity.
