EDB: Kazakhstan's economic growth rate accelerates since start of year

Kazakhstan’s economy has experienced a growth rate of 4%, according to the Eurasian Development Bank’s (EDB) macroeconomic review of its six member countries. Analysts attribute this increase in business activity to positive trends in the services and trade sectors. Economists view the successful issuance of Kazakhstan’s 10-year dollar bonds in the international capital market as a sign of confidence and growing interest from foreign investors in the country’s economy. Overall, the GDP of all EDB member states has risen by 4.2% since the beginning of the year, largely driven by strong domestic demand. The review also notes the growing influence of the Eurasian region on the global economy, which is supported by the development of new logistics routes, including land transport corridors that connect Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
