A total of $6.6 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) flowed into Kazakhstan in the first quarter of 2025 - a 6% increase compared to the same period last year. According to the Ministry of National Economy, measures to improve the country’s investment climate are being strengthened. For instance, investors in projects in priority sectors of the economy worth over $54 million are offered the opportunity to sign an agreement guaranteeing legislative stability for up to 25 years. In addition, the Fast Track, or ‘green corridor,’ system is in place, enabling projects to complete all the necessary launch procedures in just five days. Notably, the Head of State emphasized the need to launch a new investment cycle in his state-of-the-nation address.
«As
part of the new investment cycle, the priority will be to identify and attract
key investors capable of transferring technologies to Kazakhstan, training
local personnel, and opening new foreign markets for Kazakh goods. The key
investors of this cycle will be companies in promising sectors defined by the
Kazakh Government, in particular, mechanical engineering, oil and gas
chemistry, renewable energy, the modern agro-industrial complex, and
high-value-added metallurgy, where it will be possible to establish
export-oriented industries with high value-added,» noted Kazakh Vice Minister of
National Economy Arman Kassenov.
