The project on foreign direct investment in Kazakhstan was carried out by the scientific and research team consisting of Dr. Małgorzata Jaworek, Prof. NCU (chair); Dr. Włodzimierz Karaszewski, Prof. NCU; Dr. Magdalena Kuczmarska; Dr. Marcin Kuzel, Prof. NCU, and is gaining increasing interest in the international community, because of its uniqueness and the choice of the country under study.
Kazakhstan is the largest country in Central Asia in terms of area (ninth among the world's countries), through which particularly important transit links run. It has large market potential, exceptionally rich in raw material resources, mainly hydrocarbons, but also copper, gold, silver, and uranium, with great opportunities for agricultural development, etc. Due to all those circumstances, Kazakhstan is perceived as creating favorable conditions for doing business, arousing growing interest in direct investors expressed in the increasing value of their capital deposits. On 24 October this year, a meeting was held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan with the authorities of the Ministry and government institutions with Prof. M. Jaworek and Dr. M. Kuczmarska. The main subjects of the meeting were the presentation of the results of the study, their use in Kazakhstan's policy towards foreign investment, as well as the translation of the book entitled Foreign Direct Investment in the Republic of Kazakhstan (on the example of investment activity of Polish enterprises) and its publication in Kazakhstan.
