Global value chains and development. The presentation discusses:
1. The rise of global value chains, with 80% of world trade now in intermediate goods and concentration in fewer large suppliers.
2. Concepts of value chain mapping, governance and upgrading are introduced as tools to examine participation in the global economy.
3. Kazakhstan faces the challenge of economic diversification beyond oil and gas, which currently make up over 70% of exports, leaving the economy exposed to commodity price volatility.
