In this interview, a representative of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) discusses Kazakhstan's role as a leading destination for EBRD investments. Kazakhstan has been a key market for EBRD for over 30 years, with 325 projects funded and more than 10.3 billion euros invested. The country ranks among the top five or six globally for active portfolio size, with 122 current projects and nearly 100 staff on the ground across two offices.
Kazakhstan’s transition from a Soviet-style economy to a market-based system, coupled with its vibrant economy and commitment to reform, has made it an attractive destination for both foreign direct investments and EBRD support. The bank aims to further double its investments in the country by the end of 2024, reaching 550-600 million euros across 20-25 projects.
