Kazakhstan actively attracts foreign investment

Last year, Kazakhstan signed over 100 investment contracts totaling approximately three trillion tenge. Additionally, seven agreements worth $2.5 billion were concluded. Since the beginning of 2025, agreements valued at $2 billion have been approved. The most attractive sectors for foreign businesses include logistics, mining, and the agro-industrial complex. Domestic entrepreneurs are also actively investing in promising projects. According to experts, this is a result of efforts to create a favourable investment climate. Kazakhstan is strengthening its legislative framework and improving investment agreements to offer investors the most favorable conditions. The country has set an ambitious goal—to double the national economy to $450 billion by 2029.

«Over the past three years, the total volume of domestic investment has been directed toward key economic sectors, including agriculture and the agro-industrial complex, with investments amounting to approximately 5.5 trillion tenge. Additionally, around 2.5 trillion tenge has been invested in the real sector of the economy, which includes industry, energy, construction, transport, and logistics,» said Talgat Zeinullin, chief expert of the department of the Kazakh Ministry of National Economy.   

«Recently, several companies have started their projects. The first is the German company SKYHANSA, which is investing in Khorgos to build a cargo airport. Additionally, a major project has begun on the construction of the Dostyk-Moyinty railway line, which will increase freight capacity to 10 million tonnes per year,» said Gabidulla Ospankulov, Chairman of the Investment Committee at the Kazakh Foreign Ministry.
