Kazakhstan during 20 years of its independence has become one of the strongest economic powerhouses among emerging countries of the CIS region thanks to its abundant natural resources and other export oriented commodities. Kazakhstan is currently working on a program of economic diversification and is cultivating a diverse portfolio of industries that includes renewable energy, transportation and communications, agriculture, financial services and eco-tourism.
