World Bank improves its forecast for Kazakhstan’s GDP growth in 2024

The World Bank has improved its forecast for Kazakhstan’s GDP growth in 2024, with the economic upturn standing at the level of 4.3 percent this year and 4.5 percent in 2025, as stated in the January report. The World Bank had previously predicted the country’s GDP growth at four percent. According to analysts, overall, the economy of Central Asia will remain stable at around 4.8% annually over 2024-25, the highest growth among subregions. It is expected that Kazakhstan will be supported by consistently high prices for raw materials, stable consumer spending amid cooling inflation, and export growth driven by the expanding oil production capacity.
