AEQUITAS team attended Astana Finance Days 2025

On September 4–5 2025, the 8th Astana Finance Days (AFD) forum — one of the most significant events in the field of finance and capital markets — was held in Astana. The forum is organized annually by the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC).

Each year, the forum brings together a large number of participants from various countries, including representatives of government bodies, leading companies, and experts. It serves as a unique platform for open dialogue and the exchange of experience and ideas.

The forum’s theme is both symbolic and precise, reflecting the dual meaning of the word capital: on the one hand, it refers to Astana — the capital of Kazakhstan and a rapidly developing financial hub connecting East and West; on the other hand, it refers to various forms of capital that serve as key drivers of sustainable development.

AEQUITAS was represented at the forum by Yekaterina Khamidullina, AEQUITAS Partner and Head of the AEQUITAS AIFC Branch, and firm associate Kristina Mychka. Yekaterina gladly shared her impressions of the forum: “The forum featured profound and multifaceted discussions, addressing issues from data protection in international financial centers to the digital transformation of dispute resolution and the establishment of the AIFC’s robust legal framework. We sincerely commend the AIFC for the outstanding level of organization and professionalism demonstrated throughout the event.”
