At the briefing at the press center of the Government, Chairman of the Board of Kazakh Invest NC, Saparbek Tuyakbaev, spoke on the progress of the implementation of the National Investment Strategy and measures taken to attract foreign investment.

According to Saparbek Tuyakbaev, in May of this year in Kazakhstan, the CRM information and monitoring system will be launched, which is designed to improve the work with foreign investors, provide feedback to them. All initiatives of investors will be studied online.

"Today at the meeting of the Government in the course of the consideration of the issue of attracting investments to the country, the Prime Minister Bakytzhan Sagintayev addressed criticism for the regional executive bodies in terms of low organization of work with investors. The information and monitoring system implemented by us will allow solving the arising issues with investors at the local level," said Saparbek Tuyakbaev.

As the head of the national company noted, in the first half of 2018, call-centers with round-the-clock operation will be established. This, in the speaker's opinion, will allow solving even household issues of investors in the regions.

Answering the journalists' questions, Saparbek Tuyakbaev noted the investment attractiveness of Kazakhstan that has increased significantly in recent years. So, earlier, just a few years ago, Kazakhstan was not interesting to transnational companies in terms of investing, but now the situation in the macro region around our country has changed significantly. This became possible due to the wise policy of the Head of State on building the infrastructure in the country and beyond.

Now our country is becoming a transit power through the construction of roads, transnational transport corridors, improvement of infrastructure, logistics and many other conditions. Through Kazakhstan, access to the largest markets of the EU and China opens. There is a restart of the domestic investment climate, which is close to the OECD standards today.

"In addition, Kazakh Invest was created in order to attract large investors to the country, so that domestic entrepreneurship could also be developed," Saparbek Tuyakbaev summed up.
