ASTANA, Kazakhstan, June 24. In the first five months of 2025, Kazakhstan's economy grew by 6 percent, said Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev during the 37th plenary session of the Foreign Investors’ Council, Trend reports.
According to the President, the largest contributions to the growth came from transportation and logistics, construction, trade, mining, and manufacturing.
“We are observing increased inflationary pressure, disruptions in global supply chains, and rising uncertainty in the business environment. These trends may further worsen the outlook for the global economy, highlighting the need for constructive international dialogue. Despite these economic challenges, the economies of emerging countries like Kazakhstan have managed to maintain resilience to external shocks.
