Kazakhstan’s economy is demonstrating steady growth, with GDP increasing by 6.3% in the first nine months of this year. Growth in the real sector exceeded 8%, while the services sector expanded by more than 5%. According to the government, the main drivers of this growth are industry, trade, and transport — together they accounted for over 70% of the overall increase. Positive trends are also observed in investment, construction, and foreign trade. From January to August, foreign trade turnover surpassed $90 billion, with more than $50 billion coming from exports. Meanwhile, the share of non-resource exports is rising, domestic processing is expanding, and regional entrepreneurship continues to strengthen. The Kazakh government highlights that key priorities include developing high-value-added industries, supporting local businesses, and attracting investment into new industrial projects.
«Special attention should be given to growth in the
processing sector. All available resources should be mobilized to achieve the
year’s planned targets. The implementation of measures and the achievement of
growth indicators are ensured primarily at the local level. Therefore, it is
crucial that regional governors personally oversee the development of all
sectors. Positive trends in key macroeconomic indicators have been recorded in
11 regions,» said Kazakh
Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov.
