Cazaquistão atrai investimento estrangeiro mesmo com desaceleração global

O IDE no Cazaquistão está a desacelerar, mas continuam a ser celebrados acordos no valor de vários milhares de milhões de euros. As autoridades consideram esta mudança cíclica, e não um sinal de perda de confiança dos investidores.

00:00Industrial investors, international companies who want to invest in Kazakhstan.

00:05Really, this business environment is very friendly

00:09and it's a good background and environment to grow the business in Kazakhstan.

00:23Kazakhstan, Central Asia's top investment hub,

00:26has attracted nearly 130 billion euros in net FDI since 1991.

00:31But last year saw a 30% drop from over 20 to 14.5 billion euros.

00:37According to the UN Conference on Trade and Development,

00:40FDI flows fell globally 11% due to geopolitical tensions,

00:44trade fragmentation and rising financial risks.

00:47In Kazakhstan, the drop in investment is tied to oil giants,

00:51Kashagan, Karachaganak and Tengiz, repatriating profits to shareholders.

00:55The Foreign Affairs Ministry says the shift from investment to returns is cyclical

01:00and does not signal declining confidence.

01:03Onktad recognizes Kazakhstan for streamlining investment regulation,

01:09especially through digital licensing and fast-track procedures.

01:14despite the FDI slowdown, it secured four of Central Asia's five largest greenfield projects worth 6 billion euros.

01:28Onktad recognizes Kazakhstan for streamlining investment regulation,

01:32especially through digital licensing and fast-track procedures.

01:36Despite the FDI slowdown, it secured four of Central Asia's five largest greenfield projects worth 6 billion euros.

01:42Its sovereign wealth fund, Samru Kazana, remains a key driver of foreign investment.

01:47We usually take a minority stake.

01:49We don't get involved into the operational issues,

01:53but we provide full support with the government authorities on the central and regional levels.

01:59And if needed, we provide off-takes from our portfolio companies.

02:03One of Samru Kazana's key partners, French multinational Air Liquide,

02:20is supplying industrial gases to its petrochemical and refining industries.

02:24Since 2016, the company has doubled its investment,

02:27adding another 100 million euros to the 120 million already committed, with more expansion ahead.

02:33Growing in the country, we see a lot of opportunities, of new opportunities,

02:38in the refining sector, in the petrochemical sectors,

02:41maybe in the metal industry and in other industrial sectors, manufacturing and the like,

02:46where we can supply industrial gases.

02:48So for our home company in Paris, it's important not only for what we've achieved already,

02:53but also for the potential that Kazakhstan has in terms of economic development

02:59and industry overall growth potential in the industrial sectors.

03:05Another partner is Fortune 500 American company Wabtec,

03:08which is supplying critical components, locomotives, signaling systems,

03:12and logistics solutions for the global railway industry.

03:15Wabtec has invested more than 196 million euros since 1996.

03:20I think we have the opportunity to grow our business in Kazakhstan, double digits per year.

03:27A piece of it is making sure we drive organic growth into other parts of the rail ecosystem.

03:35We are continuing to do acquisitions in our company,

03:39and that will allow us to ultimately grow the content of what we sell into the rail business here in the country.

03:48Kazakhstan's largest FDI has gone into mining.

03:51Nearly 80 billion euros, followed by 35 billion in manufacturing and 7 billion in insurance.

03:56Top investors over the past decade include the Netherlands, the US, Switzerland, Russia, and China.

04:03To boost its appeal, Kazakhstan offers tax breaks, customs exemptions, and infrastructure support.

04:08The president chairs the Foreign Investment Council,

04:10where foreign investors can directly propose policy and development recommendations.

04:14And that open discussion, I really think, adds to the clarity.

04:21And from clarity, you have stability.

04:23And I think coming at this from the legal perspective,

04:27one of the things that businesses are always looking for in investment

04:32is things such as stability and regulation,

04:36and having guidance as to how the investment opportunities will evolve over time.

04:42Despite global challenges, Kazakhstan draws over half of Central Asia's FDI

04:46and a large share of its output.

04:48As the region's largest economy,

04:50it continues building a strong investment climate,

04:52digital economy, and partnerships for industrial growth.
