KAZAKHSTAN INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS INVESTOR OPINION SURVEY

摘要

The global downturn that followed the financial crises of 2008 provoked a worldwide decline in FDI, which fell by 39% in 2009. Over the recent years Kazakhstan demonstrated strong performance in attracting FDI, particularly in extractive industries. But if the Government is to achieve its ambitions plans to diversify the economy, it will need to attract FDI that brings with it not only financial transfers, but also transfers of knowledge, high-tech equipment and opportunities for human capital development. For internationally mobile investors location decisions depend primarily on the stability, transparency and predictability of the business environment, proximity to markets, efficient access to infrastructure and skilled labor. Industry specific policies are becoming increasingly important in responding to these key requirements of the business community.
