The main objective of this paper is the study of the modern state of the electric energy sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as the determination of some promising directions of the country in view of the global trend of the electric energy sector. The desk study, trend analysis, and literature review were used as the methods of the research. The conducted research allowed concluding that many factors had significant influence on a rapid change of the global energy sector and the way energy was produced and consumed as well (including the climate change, development of new sources of energy, application of innovative technologies). Nowadays, the electric energy sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan is facing a lot of intrinsic factors (including the need to modernize infrastructure), as well as the changes in global markets which require long-term planning and the environment for attracting new investments. It is necessary to take into account the global energy environment during the development of a growth strategy, including some changes in the dynamics and organization of the world production and demand in energy, development of renewable energy resources, and implementation of "smart" networks.

The economy of Kazakhstan is becoming more and more integrated into the global economy every year, and this process will continue. Kazakhstan's accession to the WTO has opened the insurance market to foreign insurers even more. At the same time, foreign companies have more experience in conducting insurance operations and actively apply the latest economic and statistical methods for assessing and managing risks. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the practice of risk management of the insurance company is not widespread, which makes the results of this study relevant and of practical importance.The development of the insurance business is associated with attracting investment. In these conditions, company management is faced with a difficult task: on the one hand, they are interested in attracting additional capital to develop and improve the reliability of the business, and on the other hand, investors demand a return on invested capital no less than alternative investments can bring. Therefore, in order to answer the challenge, you need to be able to calculate the optimal amount of attracted capital, adequate to the risks of the company. The development of methods to optimize the investment strategy is an urgent problem for the development of the Kazakhstan insurance market, the solution of which is also reflected in this article.
