The Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) is a unique hub on the map of the financial world that brings together the best practices and opportunities offered by similar institutions around the globe – from New York City and London to Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore.

They offer the most successful solutions and technologies used by international financial centres, and supplement them with their additional exclusive benefits.

They strive to maximise the opportunities offered by the times. Today, the global economy has abundant financial resources. However, relative shortage of attractive investment projects globally draws increased attention and interest to the emerging markets. Central Eurasia is entering a period of long-term economic growth, opening new horizons for companies, countries and their citizens on their way to prosperity.

They welcome companies and individuals, and are prepared to offer additional opportunities for development and growth to both large financial, industrial and trade corporations, as well as newcomers in the market. And they offer attractive terms to mid-cap companies from the countries in the region.

They are the first institution in the region to offer businesses a complete and comprehensive legal platform for attracting, implementing and protecting investments.AIFC jurisdiction is based on the principles, norms and precedents of the law of England and Wales and (or) standards applied by the world’s leading financial centres. Their independent governing bodies provide additional guarantees and support for businesses and their operations. The AIFC Court, which is separate and independent from Kazakhstan’s judiciary system, comprises the Court of First Instance offering a special fast-track procedure for small claims up to the value of $150,000, and the Court of Appeal.
