This is the main challenge of this century. Radical changes will define the foundation of the new economic world order. The world is on the edge of a global depression. Direct losses of the global economy are estimated to make trillions of dollars. One renowned economist said that the losses of the last financial crisis were equal to the losses of all the world wars. No country will be able to remain a safe harbor in the roaring sea of the global cataclysms. This is seen in Europe and other countries,” Nursultan Nazarbayev called Kazakhstan residents to be ready for everything. “I have to say that times ahead of us are not going to be simple. The world in the 21st century is not free from threats of famine, diseases, deficit of fresh water and fertile lands. This is a reality for the regions with fast-growing population. This is true for our country as well. I am talking about details because the coming decades will be difficult for the whole world. We have to be prepared for any difficulties,” the President told the audience.
