### Assessment of leveraging oil wealth for development
- The paper presents an assessment of leveraging oil wealth for development in Kazakhstan.
- By saving most of the tax revenues collected from the oil sector in an off-budget oil fund Kazakhstan has been relatively successful in ensuring that government revenue volatility does not translate into spending volatility.

### Quasifiscal sector and public enterprises
- The quasifiscal sector, that includes public enterprises in the oil and gas industry, is systemic in Kazakhstan.
- During the crisis the quasifiscal sector played an important role in the government’s stimulus program.
- The quasifiscal sector is currently actively involved in the country’s long- term development strategy.
