AIFC Ecosystem
The AIFC comprises several bodies and organizations that form the AIFC Ecosystem. These entities have distinct functions but work collectively towards achieving the Centre’s strategic goals.
AIFC Authority
AIFC Authority (AIFCA)
The AIFC Authority (AIFCA), functioning within the AIFC Ecosystem, holds a dual role: it serves as the central entity entrusted with providing administrative support to the AIFC’s bodies, participants, and employees, while simultaneously formulating the center’s development strategy and drafting acts unrelated to financial service regulation.
Moreover, to facilitate the AIFC’s integration into the global financial architecture, the AIFC Authority actively establishes connections with international financial centers and institutions.

AIFC Court
AIFC Court
The AIFC Court is the designated body for resolving commercial and civil disputes within the AIFC, holding exclusive jurisdiction over such matters. It operates as a common law court system, meeting high international standards for civil and commercial conflict resolution within the AIFC. The court manages AIFC-related claims and other disputes upon parties’ written agreement to its jurisdiction.
Operating independently from Kazakhstan’s judicial system, it maintains its own final appeal court, procedural rules, a swift process for small claims, and a strong enforcement system, making its practices familiar to businesses in major financial centres worldwide.
