This was stated in an address by Kazakhstan's Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov to participants of the annual meeting and business forum of the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB), which was read out by the country's Finance Minister Madi Takiev.
The address notes that the global economy is undergoing a period of deep transformation: trade routes are changing, new production chains are forming, and competition for investment, technology, and human capital is intensifying.
"In these conditions, the Eurasian region is gaining special significance as a space of new opportunities for growth and cooperation. Today, almost 70% of investment in fixed capital in Kazakhstan is provided by the business sector," the address said.
The Prime Minister also emphasized the significant role of the EDB in supporting the country's economic development.
"Under the implementation of the bank's strategy for 2022–2026, the total volume of investments reached $9.2 billion, of which $5.2 billion were directed to Kazakhstan's economy. This is comparable to the bank's investment volume in the country over the previous 15 years," the address noted.
According to the head of government, cooperation with Kazakhstan opens up broad opportunities for implementing joint investment projects.
"The open door policy for foreign investment remains one of Kazakhstan's strategic priorities," Olzhas Bektenov emphasized.
