Future of Kazakhstan - economy - by Dr Patrick Dixon

Education level - low
Cultural level - low
Economical situation - like in Uganda
Every common kazakh dreams to have a lot of money but does't want\like to work.
Also there is nationalism among the kazakhs - historical differenence byt tribes.
Kazakh president wants to rule country till his death. No future and no hope

believe me i am kazakh...all de things and fact about the kazakh economy its just a biiig fake ..and i am sure GDP is more less that it was told...all things are just simply big fake

Cheers for this, exactly what I was looking for.
Thinking of visiting Kazakhstan some time once I've the money.

Thank you, Patrick=) You're an exellent talker.

Yes, I have seen the oil industry seems rather good in Kazakhstan.
I have been looking at the company Roxi Petroleum and it seems like a really good company. A lot of investors are buying into it and it seems like Kazakhstan is getting a lot of foreign investors.
Anyway, is Kazahstan expected to grow quickly now?

Yes we have oil and other riches its all good I wish we could channel some of those money to infrastructure. Especially building better roads in and between cities. Traffic makes you sick in Almaty. People drive like mad. If it goes on like this, all city dwellers will loose their mental health. If I had choice, I would go overseas and come back after 30 years when all the mess clears out. Only then the oil wealth will trickle down to main street.

1/5 of marriages in Kazakhstan are inter-ethnic, 80% of these marriages are between Kazakhs and Russians, so it is easy to conclude that EVERY Kazakh family has a non- Kazakh relative (most likely Russian)

yeah hopefully oil will not bring about american intervention thats destroyed oil rich countries like iraq
