Kazakhstan is considering the possibility of its state-owned companies entering the world’s largest stock exchange — the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), as reported by Primeminister.kz following a delegation visit led by Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin to the exchange during the annual meetings of the IMF and the World Bank.

During the meeting, Kazakhstan’s representatives discussed the prospects of placing public securities and of having large state-owned companies enter the international market with NYSE management.

Will Goodwin, director of operations and the NYSE Institute, briefed the delegation on the exchange’s operations and areas of activity. He also answered the Kazakh delegation’s questions in detail and shared his experience regarding trading organization and cooperation with issuers.

At the conclusion of the visit, the delegation became acquainted with the organization of the trading floor and the working principles of one of the oldest and most influential platforms in the global stock market.

The NYSE is the world’s largest trading platform, headquartered on Wall Street and part of the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) holding.
