According to the International Monetary Fun , Kazakhstan GDP per capita in 2025 will reach $14,770, outpacing Russia at $14,260 and China at $13,690.

Why is Kazakhstan leading?
Natural resources: significant reserves of oil, gas, uranium, and other minerals. While raw exports remain key, there’s a growing shift toward higher value-added processing industries.

Business-friendly reforms: Continued improvements in regulations, infrastructure, investment climate, and logistics are attracting both foreign and domestic investments.

Investments in social infrastructure: Boosted funding in education, healthcare, and infrastructure has enhanced living standards, productivity, and domestic consumption.

Strategic location & partnerships: Positioned between Europe and Asia, Kazakhstan benefits from the Belt and Road Initiative and strong ties with Russia, China, the EU, and other global partners.

Stable macroeconomics: Sound fiscal and monetary policies - including a stable currency, low inflation, and a balanced budget - have bolstered the nation’s resilience amid global uncertainties.
