During the discussion, participants addressed the role of state institutions and export credit mechanisms in the development of non-resource exports, as well as the creation of a digital ecosystem to support domestic manufacturers. Special attention was given to the practical experience of companies already successfully operating in foreign markets.

As a result of the forum, strategic agreements were signed between the Export Credit Agency of Kazakhstan and a number of international financial institutions, which will expand support for Kazakh exporters and strengthen the country’s integration into the global financial and economic system.
