Kazakhstan Emerges On The World Stage

Head of Corporate Secretarial and Domiciliation Services at TMF Group Kazakhstan, Olesya Sokol offers an insider's view on what is making Kazakhstan a serious investment contender on the world stage.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union 21 years ago Kazakhstan has made notable progress in the business world – and it is now emerging as an attractive prospect for potential investors.

Kazakhstan has big opportunities on offer – including, as it does, the sixth-largest reserve of mineral resources in the world - and potential investors are being urged to watch this space.
