Mr. Timothy Bennett

Chief Executive Officer

Astana International Exchange

'The changes we have seen in 2020 have actually strengthened the AIX proposition for both global and domestic investors. We’ve seen interest rates decline globally and therefore there is a lot more interest in investing in equities. So, while the privatization program has understandably been deferred, there is still a high level of interest in investing in Kazakhstan.'
