Kazakhstan continues to attract foreign investments, reflecting high confidence in its economic potential. This is supported by record-high credit ratings, including a Baa1 rating with a "Stable" outlook from Moody’s in 2024, as well as investment-level ratings from S&P and Fitch.
National development institutions are also expanding investments, with 8 trillion tenge planned for 2025 and an increase to 10 trillion tenge by 2027. Trade and economic ties with other countries are strengthening, leading to a 1.5-fold rise in foreign trade turnover over six years—from $94.8 billion to $141.4 billion. Exports grew from $61.1 billion to $81.6 billion, with a notable increase in processed goods, reaching $28.8 billion last year.
The share of machinery, equipment, and vehicles in exports has grown, while raw materials now account for a smaller portion — down from 74.5% in 2018 to 63.5% in 2024. Additionally, 2.5 trillion tenge has been allocated over six years to support the agro-industrial sector, with non-commodity industries emerging as key drivers of economic growth.
