Kazakhstan’s trade turnover with the CIS countries is
growing; last year it reached $37.5 billion. Overall, the GDP of the CIS
countries increased by 4.5%. As Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov stated at a
meeting of the CIS Council of Heads of Government in Dushanbe, the country is
interested in further developing the Organization and expanding its potential. Electronic
commerce offers great opportunities. In Kazakhstan, the volume of e-commerce
exceeded $6 billion last year. To enhance cooperation, it is necessary to
develop infrastructure and improve consumer protection mechanisms, according to
Bektenov. The digital sphere also holds great potential for partnership, as does
the transit and transport sector, along with heavy and light industries.
