According to the 2018 rating from the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (English research center that studies global cities), Nur-Sultan (Astana) is included in the list of global cities, which consists of 375 cities that play the largest role in the global economy.

The basis for the formation of the list is the location of offices of 175 leading global companies providing services in the fields of banking, law, consulting and technology.

Nur-Sultan (Astana) for the first time hit the GAWC rating, and within the concept of the capital’s inclusion in the rating of the 10 best cities in the world until 2050, this result is a real breakthrough.

Nur-Sultan (Astana) is now at the first stage of “Sufficiency” group, which means that the city has already built up relatively developed clusters of services, allowing to be less dependent on key economic players. This is a race ahead of the capital, which means the great potential of Nur-Sultan (Astana) as a city playing an important role in the economy of not only the country, but the whole world.
