"According to the original decree, the AIFC Management Council under the chairmanship of the Head of State and with the participation of the key members of the government bodies was established. We made up a detailed action plan together with the Government and the National Bank, we prepared a detailed roadmap for a number of projects, and, later, established a multi-authority commission. The joint work resulted in the full readiness of the AIFC infrastructure to start operating from January 1, 2018. By 2018, the financial center is expected to be fully ready for the first transactions," Kairat Kelimbetov added.
