The implementation of this activity will be carried out in the format of a green finance project office in the cities of Aktobe and Uralsk.
The purpose of creating these project offices is to implement environmental and social investment projects of Aktobe and West Kazakhstan regions through the introduction of financial instruments for sustainable development, such as green and social bonds, implemented at the AIFC site.
This measure will allow to develop the market of financial instruments for sustainable development on the Astana International Exchange (AIX), and will also assist in attracting the necessary investments to the region.
