Doing Business and Investing in Kazakhstan Guide

Sixteenth in a series of annual reports comparing business regulation in 190 economies, Doing Business 2019 measures aspects of regulation affecting 10 areas of everyday business activity: • Starting a business • Dealing with construction permits • Getting electricity • Registering property • Getting credit • Protecting minority investors • Paying taxes • Trading across borders • Enforcing contracts • Resolving insolvency These areas are included in the distance to frontier score and ease of doing business ranking. Doing Business also measures features of labor market regulation, which is not included in these two measures. This edition also presents the findings of the pilot indicator entitled 'Contracting with the Government,' which aims at benchmarking the efficiency, quality and transparency of public procurement systems worldwide. The report updates all indicators as of May 1, 2018, ranks economies on their overall 'ease of doing business', and analyzes reforms to business regulation -- identifying which economies are strengthening their business environment the most. Doing Business illustrates how reforms in business regulations are being used to analyze economic outcomes for domestic entrepreneurs and for the wider economy. It is a flagship product produced in partnership by the World Bank Group that garners worldwide attention on regulatory barriers to entrepreneurship. Almost 140 economies have used the Doing Business indicators to shape reform agendas and monitor improvements on the ground.

Kazakhstan is the 9th largest country in the world, (the largest land-locked) and is located in central Asia, it is also one of the most sparsely populated with an estimated population of around 17.6 million. The country has a dramatically-variable continental climate. In the cold and lengthy winter, temperatures as low as -40°C are not uncommon, as opposed to 40°C sweltering heat in the summer. Kazakhstan is a republic, with the government and many large state companies based in the country's capital city Astana, which has a fast-growing population. The city of Almaty, the previous capital, is still a commercial hub, with a much larger population than the capital. Other principal cities include Aktau, Atyrau, Karaganda, Shymkent and Pavlodar. Kazakhstan gained independence from the Soviet Union on the 16th December 1991, following its collapse. A relatively young country in some respects, Kazakhstan is ambitiously western, although it still carries a somewhat soviet legacy, principally in the overly-bureaucratic administration of business and property. The UK is one of the top 5 largest investors in Kazakhstan. In 2014, bilateral trade between the UK and Kazakhstan equated to USD $1.2 billion. The main UK exports are oil and gas, education, financial and business services, healthcare and medical equipment, architecture and design services, as well as mining.
