Summary

Kazakhstan’s economy is showing clear signs of overheating. After growing by around 5 percent in 2023 and 2024, the economy is expected to expand by 6.2 percent in 2025, fueled by rising oil production, a loose fiscal stance, expanding quasi-fiscal activities, and rapid consumer lending. Inflation remains stubbornly high at around 12½ percent and the current account deficit is widening. The outlook faces elevated risks from persistent inflation, an uncertain external environment, and weaker oil prices.
