Background: 50 largest private companies
The Kazakhstani economy as a whole has adapted to the crisis, which confirms the state of the largest private companies. From 2015 to 2018, the total revenue of the top 50 in tenge more than doubled – from 2.9 trillion to 6.58 trillion tenge , in dollar terms – by 45.4%. Stagnation in dollar terms was observed only in the hardest year for the economy in 2016, when the GDP was kept in the positive zone only with the help of a massive infusion of money from the National Fund. In 2018, the total revenue of the top 50 grew to $ 19.09 billion from $ 17.37 in 2017, although the average exchange rate of the national currency fell from 326 tenge to 344.7 tenge per US dollar. At the same time, mining and oil and gas companies that traditionally benefit from the devaluation of the local currency amounted to only20% of the list. In total, 41 participants increased their revenue over the year, and only 9 had it decreased. Interestingly, there are only four mining companies in the top 10 fastest growing companies, the rest are retail, construction, power engineering, mechanical engineering and even air transportation.
14 companies in the rating improved their positions compared to the previous year, five retained, 21 worsened, three returned after a break, and three had a revised structure. This year, four newcomers also got into the top 50: the energy LLP “Kazakhstan Utility Systems” (No. 23), the construction LLP “Unex Stroy Company” (No. 33), the mining and metallurgical JSC “Temirtau Electrometallurgical Plant” (No. 42) and coal JSC “Shubarkul premium” (No. 43).
In the traditional ranking of the top 10 largest taxpayers, there are two new participants – the oil LLP South-Oil and the trading LLP Arena S (the Sulpak hypermarket chain). KAZ Minerals Plc with 91.32 billion tenge topped this list, rising from last year’s second place. A significant increase in tax payments is also observed in the Kazakhmys Corporation LLP (59.98 billion tenge) and Caspian Oil JSC (55.81 billion), which took the second and third positions, respectively (in the previous ranking they were the fifth and sixth respectively). Last year’s leader “Kazchrome” dropped to fourth place, dropped out of the top ten BI Group and LLP “Kazakh Motor Company” Astana-Motors “.
Methodology

The rating does not include financial organizations (banks, insurance, leasing, investment, etc.) due to significant differences in business and accounting.
