Formation of the National Business Agenda of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Central Asia
An analysis of Kazakhstan’s business climate was carried out. Priority areas were identified: tax policy, transport and logistics, digitalisation and e-commerce. Working groups of heads and experts of business associations were assembled, the key barriers to development were identified, and recommendations were developed.

The recommendations were presented to vice-ministers, members of Parliament and the chairmen of national companies.

A study of the return on investment in the digitalisation of Kazakhstan’s agro-industrial complex
A comprehensive analysis of the potential for digitalising Kazakhstan’s agriculture. Methodological approaches were developed for assessing the effectiveness of investment in digital technology for small, medium-sized and large enterprises. An economic assessment was made of the key technologies: automated irrigation management systems, soil condition monitoring (DSMM), unmanned aerial vehicles, precision farming systems, and blockchain technology for product traceability. Standard models were developed for calculating the investment attractiveness of digitalisation projects, allowing for risks, subsidies and climate factors. Mechanisms were proposed for stimulating private investment through state operators. The results were presented at an international FAO expert forum and used to prepare proposals under programmes for the development of digital agriculture in the countries of Central Asia.
