China International Capital Corporation (“CICC”), through its wholly owned subsidiary CICC Hong Kong Securities ltd., had obtained trading membership of Astana International Exchange Limited (“AIX”) and become the first international member of AIX.
AIX is the first international exchange in Central Asia, providing global investor access to this rapidly growing part of the world. AIX has been established within the Astana International Finance Centre (“AIFC”), an independent jurisdiction based on principles of English Law and brand new international centre of financial services to attract investment into the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This is a further cooperation between CICC and AIFC since the two parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding for fostering the development of AIFC and AIX and the entire capital markets of Kazakhstan on November 29, 2017 in Shanghai.
In the near future, as a leading investment bank with “China Roots, International Reach”, CICC will continue to facilitate bilateral investment and financing between China and Kazakhstan and to provide high-quality financial services for governments, institutions and enterprises of Kazakhstan and other countries along the routes, promoting the concretion of the Belt and Road Initiative.
