In 2025, the economy of Kazakhstan is showing solid growth — GDP increased by 6.3%. But economic indicators are primarily important in terms of how they affect people's daily lives.
In recent years, our country has experienced significant growth. Domestic tourism has increased by 40%, reaching 10.5 million people. The number of Kazakhstanis traveling abroad has tripled. Air and taxi transportation has also increased: the number of taxi passengers has increased from 54.3 million in 2018 to 73.3 million in 2024 - an increase of 35%.
The increase in the well-being of citizens is also noticeable in the housing market: in 2020–2024, more than 1.1 million people acquired their own housing. This is an indicator of growing income and freedom.
The quality of life of Kazakhstanis is also improving: the eating culture has changed, and meat and fruit consumption has increased. The food basket for socially vulnerable groups has expanded from 20 items to 43.
In cities and villages, work has intensified on gas supply, lighting, road repairs, and yard improvements. All of this is the foundation of a new quality of life.
Economic growth is not a goal, but a means. The main thing is that this growth is felt in the lives of every family, in the opportunities of every person. The new stage of Kazakhstan is a transition from quantitative growth to qualitative development.
