Each Kazakhsnani citizen will soon have chance to test his or her strength in transactions with securities. A new game simulating real stock exchange will go online in May-June this year. Every registered user will receive 50,000 virtual dollars on a personal account, which are to be spent for operations with stocks of companies from CIS and Kazakhstan.

The game was developed by Regional Financial Center Almaty, Ministry of Finance, state holding Samruk and a number of auditing companies, including Deloitte. According to the rules, only the citizens of Kazakhstan - individuals and students, united in groups, can play the game. The prize is not just skills and experience. The most successful players will be given real 5 to 25 thousands dollars, and an opportunity to take workshop seminars abroad.
