Kazakhstan is continuing to improve its investment attraction system under the Investment Policy Concept through 2030. All existing investment incentives will remain in place, while new mechanisms are being introduced to enhance the effectiveness of investor engagement. This was announced by Vice Minister of National Economy Arman Kassenov during a press briefing at the Central Communications Service.
According to the vice minister, Kazakhstan plans to strengthen its external investment outreach by opening overseas representative offices in key global investment hubs. These offices will serve as front offices for supporting investors and facilitating promising investment projects. The country is also carrying out a transformation of its development institutions.
“An Investment Service has been established within the Baiterek Holding structure, comprising four sector-specific investment directorates. Their mission will be to ensure high-quality preparation of investment projects based on regional needs and subsequently transfer these projects to Kazakh Invest,” Arman Kassenov said.
In addition, a unified investor support center, **Kazakhstan Investment House**, will be established on the basis of Kazakh Invest. The center will provide a full range of services under a one-stop-shop model.
“Special attention is being paid to the development of new investment projects. Together with the business community, we are identifying promising sectors with strong import-substitution and export potential. We are also improving the ‘investment order’ mechanism, which provides investors with comprehensive information on markets, infrastructure, resource availability, and government support measures,” the vice minister added.
Other initiatives include transforming social and entrepreneurial corporations into regional development institutions, modernizing special economic and industrial zones, and further digitalizing investment activities.
Arman Kassenov noted that the role of the National Digital Investment Platform will be expanded, enabling real-time monitoring of project implementation and allowing issues to be addressed promptly as they arise.
To strengthen the protection of investor rights, a special platform for pre-trial dispute resolution will be established under the Prosecutor General’s Office. In addition, investment prosecutors will be appointed in every region to provide legal support to investors and assist in the implementation of investment projects.
