Baiterek Holding Presented Kazakhstan’s Investment Opportunities at the Forum in Frankfurt am Main
The Kazakhstan delegation, led by the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Roman Sklyar, which included Timur Onzhanov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of JSC “National Managing Holding Baiterek,” participated in the international economic forum Kazakhstan Investment Day 2025 held in Frankfurt am Main. The event aimed to strengthen investment dialogue and discuss concrete opportunities to expand economic cooperation between Kazakhstan and Germany.
In his speech, Timur Onzhanov emphasized the role of Baiterek Holding as a key financial institution in Kazakhstan, supporting the development of the country’s non-resource sectors and serving as a reliable partner for foreign investors. He highlighted the wide range of financial products and services that the Holding offers to companies seeking to enter the Kazakhstani market.
“Today, Kazakhstan represents an attractive market with high potential for foreign investment. German companies show steady interest in sectors such as manufacturing, the chemical industry, transportation, and the agro-industrial complex. Special attention is given to joint projects in the mining sector, including critical raw materials such as beryllium, titanium, niobium, and rare earth elements, renewable energy — including green hydrogen — as well as mechanical engineering and logistics. We are confident that the potential of the Kazakhstani market, supported by government backing and the Holding’s tools, creates favorable conditions for the implementation of long-term and mutually beneficial initiatives,” emphasized Timur Onzhanov.
Representatives of subsidiary organizations of the Baiterek Holding, such as JSC Development Bank of Kazakhstan and JSC Export Credit Agency of Kazakhstan, also participated in the forum, presenting their financial instruments and solutions to support investment projects and export development.
During the visit, Timur Onzhanov held a series of bilateral meetings with representatives of leading German companies and financial institutions, including KfW, KfW IPEX-Bank, DZ Bank AG, KfW Research, Frankfurt Main Finance, and Deutsche Bank AG. The discussions focused on prospects for financing projects in Kazakhstan, expanding cooperation in structural financing and export credit, as well as opportunities to attract German investments into key sectors of the Kazakh economy. Representatives of the German companies expressed interest in expanding their presence in the Kazakh market and emphasized the importance of the support provided by the Holding.
Additionally, Timur Onzhanov participated in the Kazakhstan-Bavarian roundtable in Munich, where ways to expand business cooperation with representatives of Bavarian business and industry were discussed.
The Kazakhstan Investment Day 2025 forum was organized with the support of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the German Eastern Business Association, aiming to strengthen economic relations between Kazakhstan and Germany.
