Kazakhstan’s economy to grow 5%, analysts forecast

By the end of the year, Kazakhstan’s economy is expected to grow by around 5%, according to the Eurasian Fund for Stabilization and Development (EFSD). However, GDP growth may slow to 4.3% by 2027. Despite this, experts say there are no critical threats to financial stability. Overall, the country’s economy remains resilient to external shocks. Key drivers of growth include transportation, mining, manufacturing, and the construction sector.

«The main sources of growth are domestic demand - both consumer and investment. In Kazakhstan, it is investment demand in particular that is being stimulated through fiscal policy and serves as a key growth driver. Additionally, the energy sector is a significant contributor to economic expansion. That’s why we are closely monitoring developments in energy markets - especially the oil market - including changes in oil prices and demand. One of the factors that will influence sustainable economic growth is production at new oil fields,» said Sergey Ulatov, EFSD chief economist.
