Young Kazakhs Explore Banking Careers with Deutsche Bank, Citibank
Young members of the Association of German Youth in Kazakhstan (VDJK) recently met with representatives from Deutsche Bank AG and Citibank. The event aimed to introduce the lucrative work in the banking sector and showcase career paths in global finance.
Igor Wagner, head of Deutsche Bank AG's representative office in Kazakhstan, and Aleksandr Morosow, an employee of Citibank, shared insights into their respective banks' global operations. They described the work environment as challenging yet promising, with high expectations and opportunities for professional growth in an international context.
The young participants asked about daily work and application requirements. Wagner highlighted Deutsche Bank's global footprint and support for German companies abroad. Morosow discussed Citibank's significant payment volume in Kazakhstan and its notable cooperation with the country's largest companies, international investors, and the government.
The event comes as Kazakhstan becomes increasingly attractive as an investment location for Germany, with 752 companies with German participation currently active in the country. Last year, exports from Kazakhstan to Germany increased significantly, by 56.8% to USD 1.162 billion, demonstrating the growing economic ties between the two nations.
