A new investment cycle is
taking shape in Kazakhstan, with 215 projects worth a total of $78.6 billion
currently in the pipeline. Since the beginning of the year, 25 investment
agreements worth nearly 4.4 trillion tenge have been signed. According to the
Government’s press service, the projects span key sectors of the economy,
including energy, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, infrastructure, and
healthcare. A major focus is on launching new production facilities in
Kazakhstan and increasing the output of higher value-added products. For
example, 173 billion tenge is set to be invested in four pharmaceutical
projects enabling the production of 356 types of medicines. In the agricultural
sector, investors plan to develop the deep processing of wheat, corn, and legumes.
Another major area is digital infrastructure. In Ekibastuz, plans are underway
to establish a Data Center Valley for cloud services, computing, and artificial
intelligence. The project is estimated to be worth around $30 billion. Overall,
investment activity in Kazakhstan is on the rise. Between 2019 and 2025,
investment in fixed capital nearly doubled, reaching 23.5 trillion tenge, while
investment in manufacturing tripled to 3 trillion tenge.
