NUR-SULTAN (TCA) — An information and analytical portal is being created to provide a wide range of services for both prospective and active exporters in Kazakhstan, Deputy Chairperson of QazTrade Center for Trade Policy Development Assel Egemberdiyeva said in an interview to PrimeMinister.kz.
A single window for exporters, QazTrade, was created in Kazakhstan in September 2019, which provides all support measures for Kazakh exporters.
Egemberdiyeva said that in December 2019, within the framework of QazTrade, it is planned to launch a single portal export.gov.kz.
The portal will provide the following support to exporters:
– Independent assessment of the export potential of enterprises and their products;
– Market analysis of potential importers and a marketing campaign to promote products;
– Formation of a package of necessary documents for the export of goods and services;
– In-depth and comprehensive analysis of foreign industry and country markets;
