The Kazakhstan Global Investment Roundtable (KGIR-2024) recently convened in Astana, attracting over 500 participants from 40 countries. Attendees included government representatives, leaders of international organizations, and major business stakeholders who gathered to discuss global market trends and their influence on investment strategies. Infrastructure development as a driver for attracting international capital was a central topic of the event.
A notable "Infrastructure Development as a Key Factor in Attracting Investments" session brought together leading infrastructure investment experts. Among the speakers was Rustam Karagoishin, Chairman of the Board of Baiterek Holding, who outlined the Holding's plans for advancing Kazakhstan's infrastructure.
“Baiterek Holding is committed to fostering sustainable and stable economic growth. In today's complex global economy, our role in ensuring Kazakhstan’s stability and prosperity is more crucial than ever,” Karagoishin stated.
He also highlighted key investments aimed at modernizing transport and energy infrastructure, including railway fleet renewal, airport expansion, seaport development, and a transition toward greener, more efficient energy sources.
“These initiatives are positioning Kazakhstan as a competitive global player,” Karagoishin added. “Each project strengthens our economy, improves the quality of life for Kazakhstanis, and solidifies Kazakhstan as a trusted partner for international businesses.”
In addition, under the leadership of Kazakhstan's Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Otbasy Bank and the Asian Development Bank. This agreement promotes inclusive, green housing finance in Kazakhstan, supporting gender equality, sustainable economic growth, and environmentally friendly construction practices.
