"Headquartered in the EXPO pavilion, the international financial center "Astana" will be based on the best models of financial markets of the U.S., Singapore and Great Britain. In order to attract foreign partners, we will offer unprecedented conditions," President Nazarbayev said of the center, speaking at the Kazakhstan-Japan Business Forum in Astana on Tuesday. According to the President, the new international financial center will be governed by English law.
