We are now working on relocation [of Western companies that left Russia]. In particular, more than 250 companies, most of which are Western, in non-resource sectors have left the Russian market. We’ve made a target list that denotes that Kazakhstan is interested in them entering our market. Fourty-five companies have already made the decision to work here.
