The Ministry of Finance of Kazakhstan stated that the accumulated resources will support crucial social and infrastructure projects. These include the construction of schools and hospitals, as well as the modernization of utility networks and water supply systems in rural areas.
In addition to financial assets, the state has taken possession of real estate worth about $166 million (75.7 billion tenge). This confiscated property includes commercial areas, land plots, administrative buildings, and residential complexes that were previously held illegally.
