JacksonMSV is a Dubai based consultancy with a newly established office in Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC), Kazakhstan.
The AIFC plays a pivotal role in positioning itself as a global centre for business and finance, connecting the economies of the Central Asia, the Caucasus, EAEU, West China, Mongolia, Middle East and Europe.
AIFC's key advantage is the benefit from the positive effects of the integration initiatives implemented by China under the Belt and Road Project, and by the Eurasian Economic Union.
These initiatives may change the region's economic landscape dramatically.
Global trade is still a necessity, despite the current economic woes, and Kazakhstan is again playing a pivotal role in globalisation as a core part of the New Silk Road (China's Belt and Road Initiative) and as a financial and commercial hub for Central Asia (the Astana International Finance Centre).
Kazakhstan's geographic position and size (it's the 9 largest country and the largest land locked country) with its richness of natural resources reserves (Oil, Gas, Iron, Gold, Uranium and all major minerals) along with vast areas of available land for cereal and livestock farming place it in prime position to be Central Asia's economic powerhouse and a major exporter (Central Asia, China, Euro and Russia markets).
Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is a top ten global financial centre, and the leading financial hub for the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA), which comprises 72 countries with an approximate population of 3 billion and a nominal GDP of US$ 7.7 trillion.
With a 15-year track record of facilitating trade and investment flows across the MEASA region, the Centre connects these fast-growing markets with the economies of Asia, Europe and the Americas through Dubai.
DIFC is home to an internationally recognised, independent regulator and a proven judicial system with an English common law framework, as well as the region's largest financial ecosystem of more than 25,600 professionals working across over 2,500 active registered companies — making up the largest and most diverse pool of industry talent in the region.
Comprising a variety of world-renowned retail and dining venues, a dynamic art and culture scene, residential apartments, hotels and public spaces, DIFC continues to be one of Dubai's most sought-after business and lifestyle destinations.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is the largest economy in the Middle East, with an economy historically driven by oil production.
However, in 2016, the KSA Government introduced the Vision 2030 plan, which included many new initiatives aimed at diversifying the KSA economy.
The plan for Vision 2030 is to reduce the Kingdom's dependence on oil and develop service sectors, such as health, education, infrastructure construction, and recreation and tourism.
To achieve Vision 2030, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) was tasked with developing the "Giga Projects" which include NEOM City and King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD).
The King Abdullah Financial District project consists of 60 residential, office, and retail towers, several schools and parking garages, a medical clinic, civic buildings, and three hotels.
It will be able to accomodate 50,000 residents and to cope with the summer heat, a network of elevated bridges, cooled by solar power (sky bridges), will be installed to connect the buildings in the district.
The KAFD is envisioned as a business hub that will attract law firms, banks, and the kingdom's stock exchange and capital-market authority (which is currently headquartered in Riyadh).
