Evaluation of Kazakhstan's investment attractiveness:Determinants and suggestions. Nazarbayev University, Graduate School of Public Policy.http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/7545In light of Kazakhstan's impressive economic achievements over its three-decade period of independence, its strategic geographic positioning and substantial oil and gas reserves have facilitated the country's capacity to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). However, sustaining and augmenting FDI inflows necessitates the implementation of a well-defined and transparent investment management policy. Our study adopts a bottomup analytical approach, engaging directly with pivotal stakeholders within the investment framework to examine the current investment climate. Through comprehensive interviews and analysis, we discerned critical areas warranting refinement. Specifically, our findings underscore that fundamental enhancements are requisite in political stability, corruption reduction, legal infrastructure, bureaucracy, and inter-agency communication among key governmental entities integral to the investment landscape. This nuanced investigation underscores the imperative of strategic reforms to fortify Kazakhstan's investment architecture and bolster its enduring economic prosperity.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United StatesKazakhstan's investment attractivenessFDI determinantsType of access: RestrictedMaster's thesis
