An applied research center that helps people navigate a changing economy. We analyze what is happening, understand how technology is changing it, and help prepare for the future.
We do not simply offer services. We solve real problems faced by the state, business, and civil society in conditions of uncertainty.
Open to collaboration, expert dialogue, and joint projects. Write to us — we’ll tell you more and discuss how we can be of help.
Of course, the main topic of the new podcast is the 530 course and everything related to it. The guest is Askar Kysykov, Director of the Talap Center for Applied Research. We figure out what happened to tenge, we figure out all sorts of scenarios, we strongly argue about the base rate (here Eldar and Askar are antagonists!) and we are trying to figure out how to continue to live for us and you, ordinary Kazakhstanis who receive salaries in tenge.
China is one of the key countries that seriously affects the economic, geopolitical and cultural space of Kazakhstan. However, despite the active cooperation, the perception of China in society remains ambiguous - Kazakhstanis do not hide their fears that they will eventually become economically dependent. At the same time, the volume of Chinese investments continues to grow, reports Ulysmedia.kz .
The target of study will be the growth of the index of China in Kazakhstan in 2024, analysis of its dynamics in 2020.
