Central Asia could be a region with the next big wave of opportunities. This area includes Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

For example, Khazakstan stretches over a vast expanse of northern and central Eurasia. Its territory of 2 717 300 km˛ is bigger than Western Europe and makes it the ninth-largest country in the world by area.

The government of Kazakhstan plans to double its Gross domestic product (GDP) by 2008 and triple by 2015 compared to 2000. The GDP growth was stable in the last five years, and was higher than 9%. GDP growth in 2005 was 9.2%, and 9.4% in 2004. Energy is the leading economic sector.

Because of its strong macroeconomic performance and financial health, in 2000 Kazakhstan became the first former Soviet republic to repay all of its debt to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), 7 years ahead of schedule.
