В этой связи, как отметил вице-премьер, основной задачей становится переход от деклараций к совместным проектам, новым производствам, технологическим альянсам и взаимным инвестициям.«Казахстан последовательно выступает за углубление экономической интеграции тюркских государств. Мы видим большой потенциал в развитии промышленной кооперации, совместных агропромышленных проектов, транспортно-логистических коридоров, цифровых платформ и электронной торговли», — отметил Серик Жумангарин.Особое внимание в ходе выступления было уделено деятельности Тюркского инвестиционного фонда. По словам вице-премьера, Казахстан рассматривает ТИФ как один из ключевых финансовых механизмов поддержки совместных проектов стран ОТГ.«Для Казахстана принципиально, чтобы ТИФ стал не просто финансовым институтом, а полноценной платформой экономической интеграции, способствующей росту взаимной торговли, созданию новых производств и расширению инвестиционного сотрудничества между нашими странами», — подчеркнул он.На первоначальном этапе Тюркский инвестиционный фонд готов направить от $20 млн на проекты софинансирования. В настоящее время уже ведутся переговоры по участию фонда в финансировании развития инфраструктуры Международного аэропорта Алматы.Отдельно Серик Жумангарин подчеркнул значимость развития устойчивых транспортных маршрутов, включая Транскаспийский международный транспортный маршрут, а также модернизации железнодорожной и портовой инфраструктуры, что расширяет возможности для транзита и торговли между Востоком и Западом.Вице-премьер также отметил высокий потенциал сотрудничества в сфере цифровизации. По его словам, страны ОТГ обладают широкими возможностями для совместного развития IT-сектора, стартап-экосистем, цифровых сервисов, искусственного интеллекта и инновационных решений. В этой связи он приветствовал участие в форуме представителей Astana Hub, Международного финансового центра «Астана» и других институтов развития.Особое внимание, как подчеркнул Серик Жумангарин, необходимо уделять укреплению взаимодействия между бизнес-сообществами стран ОТГ.«Именно предприниматели являются ключевой движущей силой интеграционных процессов. Поэтому важно создавать максимально благоприятные условия для бизнеса - снижать барьеры, расширять доступ к финансированию, поддерживать совместные инициативы и укреплять деловые контакты», — отметил он.В завершение выступления вице-премьер выразил благодарность Организации тюркских государств, Союзу торгово-промышленных палат тюркских государств, НПП «Атамекен», а также всем партнерам и организаторам форума за совместную работу и значимый вклад в укрепление экономического взаимодействия стран региона.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1218873?lang=kk
