AFD 2024 AGENDA

This panel session will address the pressing issue of widening gap for infrastructure in Kazakhstan and other CIS countries. With a focus on innovative financing solutions, the discussion will highlight the crucial role of international financial institutions (IFIs), the rise of blended finance, and the importance of a strong regulatory framework in attracting investment.

In the dynamic landscape of global finance, Kazakhstan stands at a pivotal juncture, poised to attract substantial investments. As part of the Astana Finance Days forum, this panel session delves into the critical role financial institutions play in harnessing this potential and fostering sustainable economic growth not only within Kazakhstan but also across the wider region.

The global financial crisis highlighted the need to seek measures that would enable companies to diversify their sources of finance and make use of the stock markets to undertake their growth and expansion strategies. With the support from the government of Kazakhstan in recent years there have been some significant achievements, especially in the field of large national enterprises. However, due the latest trends in monetary and fiscal policy, we might have a reverse effect if we are really looking to promote a healthier and more balanced growth of economy as a whole. We would like to discuss what may be in store for the future of finance in Kazakhstan and what measures need to be taken to make that future bright again.
