At the request of LifeInsurance.kz to express his point of view in response to some experts’ opinion that it is difficult to develop the investment component of life insurance in the current conditions of Kazakhstan stock market development, Andrey Tsalyuk, the Deputy Chairman of KASE's Board said:
- I do not support the idea that our stock market is not developed. Of course, it is not if compared to the American market. But I believe that, what the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange has to offer with that population and that level of economic development, our stock market is very good. But the private pension funds should be returned to the market, so it revives again. And we are standing on the verge of its emergence. Therefore, I think, this is enough for investment life insurance.
