Description
The counties of Central Asia and the Caspian region have the potential to become the richest of all the nations of the former Soviet Union. Since gaining independence in 1992 each country has been moving towards a market economy. Economic restructuring and reform, financial liberalization, privatization and major infrastructure improvements have become characteristics of the region. "Central Asia and the Caspian: Open for Growth" provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the prospects for and the opportunities of this region, stressing the similarities and contrasts in country performance and reform. It includes concise commentary on each country in the region using a uniform structure to facilitate cross-referencing. Comprising 13 chapters, this book serves as a useful tool to potential investors seeking to take advantage of the opportunities this nascent region has to offer. Seven introductory chapters analyze the region's development since independence in a wider international context.
These are followed by detailed country profiles, highlighting the continuing changes and development within each country, covering: history, culture and politics, international relations, natural resources, macroeconomic profile, financial sector, privatization, foreign trade and investment, fiscal environment and prospects.
