REGIONAL LOGISTICS HUB AND ITS MARITIME ALLIES
Abstract
The article deals with creation of a regional logistics hub and maritime infrastructure in western Kazakhstan, namely in the Caspian Sea area, which will include in particular the seaport Aktau, large-scale ferry crossing from the port of Kuryk, railway line Borzhakty-Ersai. The implementation of infrastructure projects will attract foreign freight traffic and investments by reducing distances and delivery times. This in turn will help to increase the amount of taxes and fees available for the state budget, will create new production capacity and jobs in a number of sectors of the economy, as well as the conditions for full participation of the Republic in Shanghai Cooperation Organization and Eurasian Economic Union.
