The Republic of Kazakhstan continued to assert itself as a dynamic transitional economy and attractive emerging market during 2005. With economic growth of 9.4% in 2004, the countryOCOs economic expansion continued as a result of increased oil and gas production spurred by rising global demands for energy. While Kazakhstan is attractive to international energy companies, the energy sector is not the only source of investor interest, with over $1.5 billion of investment projects currently underway. President NazarbayevOCOs re-election in December 2005, while not indicative of a fully-fledged democracy, continues to create a strong semblance of political stability in Kazakhstan, which is vital for attracting investment and facilitating growth."

The global push for more sustainable and less-carbon intensive economic models has increased the salience of Kazakhstan’s long-standing diversification agenda. That this agenda remains only partially fulfilled reflects a number of issues that affect the conditions for investment, innovation and entrepreneurship. Elaborating on feedback garnered through a small, focussed survey of foreign firms in Kazakhstan, this report provides new insights into private-sector perceptions of the ongoing reform process and in doing so draws attention to some of the most pressing issues facing policymakers and business.

The Investment Guide for Kazakhstan identifies areas of opportunity for foreign investors; provides information about the historical, political, economic, financial and legal framework; and helps investors from OECD Member countries draw balanced conclusions about the investment climate.
