EDB maintains Kazakhstan’s 2024 GDP growth forecast at 5%

According to the Eurasian Development Bank’s (EDB) forecast, Kazakhstan’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate is expected to remain at five percent in 2024, consistent with the EDB’s April analysis. Experts anticipate that government measures to diversify Kazakhstan’s economy will act as a catalyst for sustained GDP growth in the medium term. Moreover, the National Bank of Kazakhstan’s base rate is projected to remain above 13 percent per annum by year-end, decreasing to 8.75 percent in 2025. Notably, the EDB plans to invest $1 billion in Kazakhstan’s economy by the end of the year, focusing on projects in transportation, industry, energy, agriculture, and the construction and modernization of social infrastructure.
