German banks invest in development of projects in Kazakhstan

The Development Bank of Kazakhstan signed three investment agreements with three leading German financial institutions. The documents are aimed at financing a number of domestic projects in key sectors of the economy. The first agreement with the largest German conglomerate provides for investments of up to US$200 million. The country also signed two framework agreements worth 100 million euros each with two other German banks.

The first document is aimed at financing export deals with the support of credit agencies, while the second one is focused on supporting infrastructure and industrial projects in the country. Notably, the three documents were signed during the Kazakhstan-Germany business forum, as part of the visit of the Federal Chancellor of Germany Olaf Scholz to Astana.
