Prospects of cooperation and new approaches for attracting American investments to the priority sectors of the economy of Kazakhstan were discussed during the meeting of the Chairman of the Management Board of KAZAKH INVEST Meirzhan Yussupov with the CEO of Caspian Policy Center Efgan Nifti, Kazinform has learnt from KAZAKH INVEST’s press service.

During the meeting, the head of the independent research think-tank noted that the main purpose of the delegation’s visit to Kazakhstan is to understand the current policy priorities of Kazakhstan’s government and businesses vis-à-vis the U.S.-Kazakhstan bilateral cooperation as well as identify opportunities for expanding U.S. engagement in such key areas as the development of renewable energy potential, energy transition, decarbonization, food security, infrastructure development, and others.

According to Efgan Nifty, not only the major industry players may be interested in investment cooperation with Kazakhstan, but also the representatives of the American SME. He noted that, apart from the oil and gas industry development, there is a huge potential for mutually beneficial cooperation between Kazakhstan and the U.S. in many other areas ranging from the processing of rare earth metals to the development of tourism and renewable energy.
