Kazakhstan’s Accession to the WTO, Central Asia and the Eurasian Economic Union
15 September, 2015 @ 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM
In July 2015, Kazakhstan finalized its accession to the World Trade Organization after 19 years of negotiations, and intends to ratify the accession package by the end of October. With this, Kazakhstan will become the third—but the main—country of Central Asia to enter the WTO. How will this new membership impact the Kazakhstani economy? How will it contribute to reshaping the reorientation of Kazakhstani exports and imports? Who will be next in Central Asia to join the WTO?
Join us to discuss Kazakhstani accession to the WTO with Cecilia Leahy Klein (World Trade Organization) and Danica Starks (Department of Commerce).
