For decades, the main trading partners of Kazakhstan remained Russia, China, and Uzbekistan. However, since 2010, another promising direction has been developing – trade with Turkey. By 2024, it is considered the most prioritized in the field of investment and trade-economic relations.
The Republic of Kazakhstan has been a member of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) since the day the EAEU was established. Other member countries of the Union are considered priority areas for trade relations. Economic integration is facilitated by the EAEU agreement, which ensures the free movement of goods, labor, and services across the Union’s territory, and a unified policy in various sectors of the economy. To coordinate the movement of goods through customs, the EAEU Customs Union was established. A zero VAT rate is applied when member countries export goods within the Union.
Today, the perception of the phrase "made in China" has dramatically changed. Firstly, high-quality products are manufactured in China. Secondly, nearly everything is produced in local factories—from jewelry and branded clothing to household appliances and industrial equipment. It's no wonder that China is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for those who are starting a business or want to grow their existing ventures.
