The Development in Kazakhstan/Kazakeli.

[OguzSenturk]

Being smart and being a covard are different things. He is a smart patriot that does things in order to serve his nation, rather than doing impatient things to prove his bravery that doesn't count in international politics.

Kazakhstan is inviting Azerbaijani investors to the platform of the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC), Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Azerbaijan Beibit Isabaev said at a conference on "New Opportunities for Financing and Business Development" in Baku. The conference was organized by Astana International Finance Center (Kazakhstan).

Isabaev added that the idea of creating the AIFC belongs to President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev. For the first time in the post-Soviet space, a special jurisdiction based on the principles of the English law and the standards of leading global financial centers operates under the financial center.

He said that participants of the AIFC were granted unprecedented tax benefits in the form of exemption from corporate and individual income taxes until 2065. He added that simplified visa and employment regimes are provided.

Isabaev also added that the AIFC should become a financial hub for the countries of Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe, the republics of the Caucasus, the EEU (Eurasian Economic Union) and the territory of Western China.

In conclusion, the ambassador expressed confidence that the AIFC will become a good platform for long and mutually beneficial cooperation between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.

The largest financial service provider in the Asian region has set ambitious goals: attracting more investors to the country's economy, raising the level of financial services to them, developing the securities market in Kazakhstan, improving insurance, banking services, etc.

The new financial centre is positioning itself to attract $ 40 billion of investments by 2025 and ensure about 1 percent growth in the carbon-less GDP of Kazakhstan.

The center established in 2015 on the initiative of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev is one of the “100 Concrete Steps Plan” aimed to achieve the country’s entry into the top 30 developed countries by 2050.

Thus, within the framework of this center, entrepreneurs are offered to be exempt from taxes for 50 years. Additionally, AIFC also provides visas to foreign citizens for a period of five years, which creates conditions for entrepreneurs to travel to Kazakhstan without a visa. Moreover, case on any issue that will arise here will be resolved in accordance with the UK legal system, thus it creates great confidence in foreign investors.

Almost 100 companies have been registered in Astana International Financial Center. Local authorities have claimed that this figure will reach 500 until 2020.

Astana International Exchange elected Shanghai Stock Exchange and U.S. NASDAQ as strategic partner.

AIFC will lead to strengthening of Islamic banking in the region, the expansion of the capital market, strong investment flows to the country, as well as a strong boost to the country's economic development.

Nazarbayev said the center would be a catalyst for attracting foreign capital and bring the stock market to a new level of development.

Kazakhstan will be represented on the stock exchange by its national companies. Among them are Air Astana, Kazatomprom, Kazaxtelekom, Kazmunaygaz and others.

Kazakh authorities predict that the new center will attract $ 2 billion to the country's economy.

The official opening ceremony of the International Financial Center took place at the Astana EXPO Center on July 5, 2018, within the framework of the international conference "Astana Finance Days"

Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Bakhytzhan Sagintayev signed a resolution approving the draft agreement between the governments of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan on trade and economic cooperation in the field of oil and oil products supply, Kazakh media reports on December 24.

The draft agreement was approved on the basis of the agreement on the EAEU dated May 29, 2014 and the agreement on the accession of Kyrgyzstan to the agreement on the EAEU dated December 23, 2014, based on interest in deepening the mutually beneficial cooperation between countries in the supply of oil and oil products and ways of Eurasian economic integration.

Minister of Energy of Kazakhstan Kanat Bozumbayev, as indicated in the document, is authorized to sign on behalf of the Kazakh Government an agreement between the Government of Kazakhstan and the Government of Kyrgyzstan on trade and economic cooperation in the supply of oil and oil products, allowing changes and additions that are not of a fundamental nature.

According to the agreement, the parties each year, until December 31, 2018, are required to draw up a balance of domestic consumption production, a supply of imports and exports of goods in Kyrgyzstan, including the volumes of supplies of oil and oil products from Kazakhstan and Russia to Kyrgyzstan.

ASTANA – Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan are studying the possibility of creating a joint oil and gas enterprise, said Kazakh Minister of Energy Kanat Bozumbayev and Azerbaijani Minister of Energy Parviz Shahbazov during their meeting in Astana.
We are now considering the opportunity of setting up a joint enterprise in the oil and gas industry because Azerbaijan, similar to Kazakhstan, has a rich history of oil and gas industry development. Today, Kazakhstan has big projects in oil and gas exploration and we can consolidate these efforts to establish a joint venture with mutually beneficial conditions,” said Shahbazov.

The two oil-rich countries are using the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline, a 1,768-km trans-Caspian export pipeline opened in 2005 which Kazakhstan joined the following year. Oil exports through the BTC were suspended from the second half of 2015 until last year, when Kazakhstan opted to resume them.

“It is important what my colleague said. Azerbaijan has developed oil engineering, but as you know, we support our content. We are now negotiating the construction of such a plant in Kazakhstan involving Azerbaijani capital, their experience, skills and technologies to subsequently supply these products to oil companies,” said Bozumbayev.

Construction of a liquefied gas production plant in Aktau is also on the agenda, he said.

Shahbazov noted possible cooperation in other fields, including agriculture and tourism.

“As for agriculture, we would like to introduce new components as part of our working group. We did a good job and trade grew largely due to grain exports to Azerbaijan,” he added.

Bilateral trade reached $141.5 million from January-July, showing 94.6-percent growth compared to last year’s $72.7 million. Exports of $112.4 million also witnessed a 98.9-percent hike from last year’s $56.6 million, while imports grew 79 percent from $16.2 million to $29 million.

Shahbazov referred to his country’s vast agrarian experience, noting it “has always been an agricultural country.”

“We have many products that we can export to Kazakhstan and we agreed to continue our activities in this area. Based on this, we want to boost our trade again in the near future,” he said.

In October, Kazakhstan expanded the list of products that could be exported to Azerbaijan.

“The analysis of global imports to Azerbaijan juxtaposed with the data on global Kazakh exports as well as exports of Kazakhstan to Azerbaijan revealed Azerbaijan has a definite potential for the export of Kazakh products,” said a statement released by the Kazakh Ministry for Investments and Development.

The ministry included 37 trade positions with high export potential such as metallurgy (ferrous metal pipes, flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel and metal structures), chemistry (pharmaceuticals and polypropylene), equipment (gas shut-off valves, switchboards, transformers and static converters) and the food industry (chocolate, soft drinks and water).

Shahbazov noted the potential of the Caspian Sea in developing tourism, such as cruise routes.

Simplifying the visa regime is also on the agenda, he added. At present, Kazakh citizens can stay in Azerbaijan for a maximum of 90 days without a visa and Azerbaijanis enjoy a 30-day visa-free stay in Kazakhstan.
