Kazakh Elites Get Ultimatum: Invest at Home or Face Scrutiny

Kazakh business elites who haven’t revealed the source of their wealth and those with money stashed abroad have a new way out, according to President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

“Show that you are ready to invest in the development of the country,” Tokayev told local business leaders at a meeting on Tuesday. “Honest and patriotic businesses will always be held in high esteem and under the protection of the state.”
