HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT FUTURE OUTLOOK
The KSE was founded in 1994. The official opening
and the first trade in stocks took place in May 1995,
while the privatization process was in full swing in
our country. Priorities for the KSE in 2010 are:
At the initial stage of its existence and up until 2000,
the KSE had functioned as a non-profit organization
with a total membership of 16. In May 2000 the
KSE was transformed into a joint-stock company;
simultaneously we acquired one of the largest
shareholders and a reliable partner the Istanbul
Stock Exchange, which has actively assisted us in
improving our activities. In 2001 the Kazakhstan
Stock Exchange became a shareholder allowing
the KSE to significantly increase its technical
software potential. At present the KSE is a
closed-type non-profit joint-stock company with 17
shareholders.
A significant contribution has been made by the US
Agency on International Development (USAID) for
the sake of our continued development. Thanks to
the USAID, the KSE has obtained powerful financial
support that has allowed our Exchange become
independent.

CAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENT
AND ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Economic performance
Economic downturns in Kazakhstan and the
Russian Federation (the major economic
partners) and the country’s power shortfalls
took economic performance in 2009 down
to 2.3% from 8.4% in 2008. Their difficulties
hit the economy through reductions in three
channels: remittances from migrant workers
(which constituted around 20% of GDP in
2008); inflows of foreign direct investment; and
demand for exports.
GDP growth was driven mainly by a robust
performance of agriculture (due to favorable
weather conditions), which grew by 7.3%.
Construction increased by 6.3%, after a 10.8%
contraction the prior year, a rebound primarily
due to activity in the hydropower generation
and mining subsectors, rehabilitation and
construction of roads, and residential building.
However, industry overall declined by 3.4%
because of reduced output in the textile and
sewing industry, transport equipment, electric
energy, and gas and water distribution. Gold
production also declined.
