It is the fastest growing country in Central Asia in terms of GDP growth. We currently have a significant market position in Kazakhstan, but we are still working on strengthening it and expanding the network of our clients and partners. The opening of such a prestigious Apple showroom in the largest city of this country is a natural step for us.
