"The period when we were developing our strategy and set to its realization was a complicated one for the global economy which has been rehabilitating after the Asian markets' collapse. As for our economy, which had just started turning into market one this became a serious test for solvency and stability. And our efforts on creation of a stable economic foundation turned to be efficient. Growth of Kazakhstan economy in 2000 hit 9% compared to 1997. We remember that hard period", the President said.

The President reminded that in 2000 Kazakhstan was an active participant and initiator of many integration processes. The idea of Eurasian integration proposed by the Head of the State in the first years of independence was put into practice. The Eurasian Economic Community was founded as a result.

"The next step was creation of a unified customs space. Kazakhstan proposed to introduce common customs tariffs, create common customs border and adopt joint actions on the WTO accession", N. Nazarbayev noted.

"Ten years later our initiatives were fully implemented. Together with Belarus and Russia we have established the Customs Union and let our citizens, economies influence the global markets", the President noted.
