The direct investment market in
Kazakhstan is experiencing growth, according to data presented during a report
presentation at the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC). Since 2012,
over $49 billion has been attracted to the country. Over the span of 10 years,
an average of 36 deals, totaling around $5 billion, were made annually.
Meanwhile, the AIFC attracted $10 billion within six years of its operation. It
should be noted that investors are drawn to the financial sector,
infrastructure projects, the energy sector, and new technologies.
“As of today, around $3 trillion
in funds worldwide are available for investment. We would like a part of these
funds to be directed to Kazakhstan. For example, last year, global transactions
amounted to around $700 billion, while in Kazakhstan, the total for the past 10
years reached $45 billion. This indicates the country’s significant growth potential.
Today’s report presentation is intended to illustrate areas for potential
enhancement, outline further steps, and identify industries of interest to
investors,” said AIFC Governor Renat Bekturov.
