The petrochemical industry has a high potential to attract foreign direct investment
The raw orientation
The output of high added value (e.g., new synthetic materials)
Natural, associated petroleum gas and gas condensate deposits - a valuable raw material for gas chemistry
*Gas from Caspian sea fields contains 9-13% of ethane.
For the profitable development of the petrochemical content of ethane in the gas must be at 8%.

Prospects of commencing production in Kazakhstan are promising due to the disparity between global demand and supply of nitrogen fertilizers.
The primary markets for fertilizer (Russian Federation and China) are in close proximity to the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The distance from countries experiencing the highest growth in production capacity renders the final export costs from the Republic of Kazakhstan more competitive.

Supporting evidence:
Investors, as part of state support, can receive incentives in the form of in-kind grants, customs and tax exemptions, and investment subsidies, provided they sign an investment contract with the Investment Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
An alternative mechanism of state support is the establishment of special economic zones.
Within the framework of the special economic zone, investors can acquire land with all necessary infrastructure, along with tax and customs privileges. Government-financed construction of infrastructure can reduce capital and operating costs by 20% and 15%, respectively.
In both cases, there is an opportunity to attract foreign labor force through simplified procedures.
