AEIR 2022

After a 2.5% contraction in 2020, the economy expanded by 4.0% in 2021 as COVID-19 restrictions began easing and vaccinations accelerated. Most sectors grew, with services contributing most. Consumption also revived in 2021, with private consumption growing by 5.0% and public consumption easing to 1.2%. However, prospects dampened for the immediate future due to conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, as spillovers from the economic sanctions on the Russian Federation will likely drag on Kazakhstan’s growth. GDP is forecast to grow by 3.2% in 2022, inching back up to 3.9% in 2023.
