Where is Kazakhstan you ask?

Background:
|
A Central Asian country of
incredible natural beauty and proud nomadic traditions,
Kazakhstan was
annexed by Russia in 1864; it achieved independence from the Soviet Union in
1991. Current concerns include: privatization of state-owned enterprises,
expansion of democracy and political freedoms, interethnic relations, and
combating terrorism. |

Economy - overview:
|
Kazakhstan is a small, poor,
mountainous country with a predominantly agricultural economy. Cotton,
tobacco, wool, and meat are the main agricultural products, although only
tobacco and cotton are exported in any quantity. Industrial exports include
gold, mercury, uranium, and natural gas and electricity.
Kazakhstan has been
fairly progressive in carrying out market reforms, such as an improved
regulatory system and land reform. Kazakhstan was the first CIS country to
be accepted into the World Trade Organization. With fits and starts,
inflation has been lowered to an estimated 7% in 2001 and to 2.1% in 2002.
Much of the government's stock in enterprises has been sold. Drops in
production had been severe after the breakup of the Soviet Union in December
1991, but by mid-1995 production began to recover and exports began to
increase. Growth was held down to 2.1% in 1998 largely because of the
spillover from Russia's economic difficulties, but moved ahead to 3.6% in
1999, 5% in 2000, and 5% again in 2001. The drop in output at the Kumtor
gold mine sparked a 0.5% decline in GDP in 2002. Poverty indicators are no
better in 2002 than in 1996. On the positive side, the government and the
international financial institutions have embarked on a comprehensive
medium-term poverty reduction and economic growth strategy. Further
restructuring of domestic industry and success in attracting foreign
investment are keys to future growth. |
