OECD Horizontal work on critical minerals development in Central Asia

With the support of the UK FCDO, the OECD is leading a project on critical minerals development in Central Asia. The overarching objective of this project is to help Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan) develop policies that foster the development of a critical mining sector that contributes to long-term sustainable and inclusive growth and attractive to foreign direct investment (FDI). It aims specifically to promote the highest standards in mining practices and good governance of the CRM sector in the areas of (i) responsible business conduct; (ii) management of environmental risks; and (iii) tax policy.
