Kazakistan

Following the declaration of independence from the USSR, which took place on December 16, 1991, an autonomous republic was established in Kazakhstan with the form of presidential government.

The strategic position, halfway between Europe and Asia, allows the country to play a primary role in the expansion of international trade relations. Indeed, by the end of 2020, Kazakhstan, in collaboration with the People's Republic of China and other states participating in the program, aims to complete an ambitious project aimed at strengthening the intercontinental transport system, called "The new silk road " This initiative is aimed at returning to the country its role, already historically held, as a link in trade relations between Europe and Asia. Specifically, the project aims to create a "freight corridor" thus favoring the "import-export" to and from Asia with the consequent massive development of international logistics, as well as the exponential expansion of international transport.

Generally speaking, the Kazakh state is characterized by a stable internal politics. In addition, its "good neighborly" relations with neighboring states, including Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan etc. they are widespread to the point of generating a solid process of integration between these Central Asian countries. These aspects are of great importance and should not be underestimated by potential foreign investors. Indeed, with a view to favoring attraction of foreign investors, Kazakhstan adopts a policy, on the one hand centered on bureaucratic simplification and, on the other, based on the distinction between investments in already operational and established sectors, including the extractive, metallurgical, energy and chemical one, from those in sectors of potential growth, such as the technological field and the field of ICT.

In addition to the above, it should be noted that the country has enormous economic potential, since it is one of the most important countries in mining, boasting, in fact, a vast assortment of raw materials, including energy fields of oil, natural gas, coal and uranium, a circumstance which, as confirmed by the statistics, has led to a very high rate of foreign investments, firstly in the mining industry and secondly in manufacturing activities.
