“the Central Asian market, especially the Kazakhstanian market, is growing at a very high level because the population itself is very tech optimistic.” – 01:02
Timur Turlov, CEO of Freedom Holdings, joins Remy Blaire at the New York Stock Exchange to discuss the company’s ambitious initiatives and the broader implications for Central Asia’s digital economy.
The conversation begins by exploring the Freedom Cloud, a significant investment aimed at addressing the infrastructure deficits in Kazakhstan. Timur highlighted the tech-savvy nature of the local population and the rapid development of fintech services in the region. He explains how the government and financial institutions have struggled to accurately forecast their computing needs, leading to a shortage of resources. Freedom Holding’s investment in data centers is a strategic move to not only support its own operations but also to assist other market participants in building their cloud infrastructure.
Finally, the pair touch on Freedom Holding’s growth plans in the U.S. Timur expresses confidence in replicating the successful strategies employed in Kazakhstan within the American market. With the backing of significant capital and investor access, he envisions building a robust fintech presence in the U.S., leveraging the lessons learned from their operations in Central Asia.
