По данным МВФ, Казахстан входит в число 50 крупнейших экономик мира. Устойчивость и стабильность экономики также подтверждаются оценками ведущих международных рейтинговых агентств - Moody’s, Fitch Ratings и Standard & Poor’s, с которыми Казахстан взаимодействует с 1996 года.С 2002 года Казахстан является единственной страной в Центральной Азии с суверенным кредитным рейтингом инвестиционного класса.Благодаря имеющемуся суверенному рейтингу в 2024-2025 годах Казахстан успешно вернулся на внешний рынок ссудного капитала с привлекательными условиями заимствования, разместив еврооблигации три раза на общую сумму 5,5 млрд долл США. Это подтверждение доверия со стороны глобальных инвесторов, а также сигнал глобальным игрокам, что экономика Казахстана является надежной, перспективной и с низкими рисками.15 июля 2025 года Fitch Ratings подтвердило суверенный кредитный рейтинг Казахстана на уровне «BBB» с прогнозом «Стабильный».30 сентября 2025 года Moody’s сохранило ранее присвоенный суверенный кредитный рейтинг Республики Казахстан на уровне «Baa1», прогноз - «Стабильный».22 августа 2025 года Standard & Poor’s улучшило прогноз по суверенному рейтингу Казахстана со «Стабильного» до «Позитивного», подтвердив рейтинг на уровне «BBB-». Решение агентства отражает устойчивый прогресс страны в реализации институциональных и экономических реформ, включая принятие новых Бюджетного и Налогового кодексов.20 февраля 2026 года Standard & Poor’s подтвердило суверенный кредитный рейтинг Республики Казахстан на уровне «BBB-» с сохранением прогноза «Позитивный».Сохранение рейтинга и позитивного прогноза обусловлено дальнейшей фискальной консолидацией, наличием значительных буферов высоколиквидных активов, продолжающейся диверсификацией экономики, повышением эффективности государственного управления через масштабную цифровизацию, а также продолжением институциональных и административных реформ.Соблюдение строгих фискальных правил, в том числе в части использования средств Национального фонда, наряду с расширением ненефтяной налоговой базы будет способствовать укреплению устойчивости государственных финансов.Аналитики Standard & Poor’s также позитивно оценили начатую в прошлом году инвестиционную программу с акцентом на развитие обрабатывающей промышленности. Масштабы и портфель проектов НИХ «Байтерек» в приоритетных секторах позволят поддерживать более высокий уровень инвестиций к ВВП по сравнению с предыдущими годами.По прогнозам, процесс диверсификации экономики будет продолжаться. Доля обрабатывающей промышленности в структуре ВВП второй год подряд превышает долю горнодобывающей отрасли и по оперативным данным в 2025 году достигла 12,7%.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1181099?lang=kk
