03:13So creating the environment for local manufacturing and working on the logistic infrastructure gives a great opportunity for the country,
03:25for Kazakhstan, you know, to continue being not just a transit hub, but real regional hub for production and for
03:32the transportation.
03:33What are the country's main competitive economic advantages within this Central Asian region?
03:39First of all, we are, again, we're the most stable country in terms of the attraction of the FDI.
03:45I just want to say that for the last, I think, 12, 13 years, Kazakhstan attracted more than 260 billion
03:52US dollars, which is more than all Central Asian countries altogether.
03:57Second one is what Nuzhan also mentioned. This is about the natural resources that we have in our country.
04:02We're the richest country in terms of the natural resources.
04:05If you had to name the single instrument whose absence most limits a Kazakh firm's ability to trade across this
04:12region, which would it be and what would it take to supply it?
04:17There is one thing that's missing, and that is, I think, the currency hedging instruments, which we're mentioning.
04:24But they're not the most important part. I think the most important part is then the discounting, where when you
04:31have that project, when you have that invoice and it's all confirmed, then you have to go to your local
04:37bank has to believe that this is risk-free or that this is low in risk.
04:42Predictability is very, very important in this finance transaction because it lowers the cost.
04:47These were the highlights of the discussion. Listen to other debates on important strategic issues worldwide on Euronews and Euronews
