Kazakhstan

The largest economy in the region, with access to a market of almost two hundred million people.

The opportunity

Kazakhstan combines raw materials, industrial zones and a government that stimulates investment in manufacturing, with a rail corridor that reaches Europe in weeks instead of months. As a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, an operation here gives your product tariff-free access to the whole union.

The flip side

That membership has a downside: your product needs EAC certification instead of CE, and sanctions friction demands more attention from bank, insurer and counterparties than in Uzbekistan. Getting in is more expensive here. It works, but it has to be calculated first.

What to watch

Staff. Kazakhstan works with quotas for foreign employees, so whoever produces here builds with a local team. That calls for someone who manages it in the language of the floor.

What we do here

For each project we establish together what you need. This is what usually comes with Kazakhstan.

  • Feasibility including the EAC route and a sanctions check
  • Incorporation, permits and the place in an industrial zone
  • Premises, bank, certification and the local team
  • Local management, bookkeeping and a monthly report in your language
