Description

Despite having an underdeveloped supporting infrastructure and limited resources, Kazakhstan was the first CIS country to require IFRS in 2004 for banks, and in 2005 for all public companies.

What were the economic consequences of this important reform?

In the 1990s, Kazakhstans capital market reforms mirrored those of Russia due to the two countries cooperating mode driven by a high level of resource interdependence and environmental uncertainty, following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Yet, by 2003, dependence on external donors (IMF, World Bank) took precedence over interdependence with Russia.

As a result, Kazakhstan unilaterally proceeded with adoption of IFRS, while Russia backed up from this initiative.

This study reports that Kazakhstans inflow of Foreign Direct Investments was the greatest among the CIS nations following the adoption of IFRS.

The book concludes that Western-style capital market reformsin this emerging market with a not-so-distant communist pasthad significantly positive outcomes.
