Kazakhstan Attracts Nearly $19 Billion in Investment Projects for 2025, Leading North and Central Asia
Kazakhstan is the leading destination for new investment projects in North and Central Asia in 2025, attracting nearly $19 billion in greenfield investment, representing almost 90% of all intra-subregional inflows, according to the UN ESCAP. Investment in Kazakhstan rose by 266% compared to the previous year, confirming its leadership in the region.
The North and Central Asia subregion was the only area in the Asia-Pacific to see an increase in investment volumes amid a global decline. Major investment projects include initiatives in manufacturing, next-generation metallurgy, renewable energy, and green technologies.
There is notable investor interest in green energy, hydrogen economy, industrial processing, and projects targeting exports and international value chains. Despite global economic uncertainty, Kazakhstan is enhancing its position as a key investment hub in Eurasia, fostering long-term economic growth.
