Kazakhstan leads Central Asia in investment attraction

Kazakhstan is strengthening its position as the leading investment hub in Central Asia, accounting for about 70% of all foreign investment in the region. According to a report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the total accumulated foreign direct investment in the country’s economy has exceeded $151 billion. This figure reflects the significance of foreign capital inflows, showing how enterprises, industrial projects, technological equipment, and other assets created by foreign investors impact the country’s economy. Notably, over the past ten years, this volume has more than doubled. The main investments from international companies are directed to the mining and processing industries, trade, energy, and major infrastructure projects.
