When opening the meeting of the EBRD Board of Governors in Astana May 20, President Nazarbayev called the EBRD Board of Governors to consider investment projects in Kazakhstan, “especially those involving advanced oil processing and facilitating diversification of Kazakhstan's economy”.

This step is very important for both Kazakhstan and the bank in the long-term perspective,” he said. Astana has been hosting EBRD annual meeting May 20-21. The Annual Meeting brings together the EBRD’s Board of Governors, namely the government ministers and other senior officials who represent the Bank’s shareholder countries and organisations.
