Kazakhstan Successfully Implements Multibillion-Tenge Projects Ahead of 2025

Kazakh First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar has announced that Kazakhstan made significant progress on its 2025 development agenda, successfully implementing 47 out of 190 planned projects valued at nearly 1.5 trillion tenge (approximately $2.7 billion).

These completed projects, worth 196 billion tenge (around $360.4 million), have created over 3,000 new jobs, The Caspian Post reports per Kazakh media.

Industrial production grew by 6.5 per cent during the first half of the year, reaching 28.9 trillion tenge (about $53.1 billion). The manufacturing sector played a key role, contributing 13.7 trillion tenge (roughly $25.1 billion), an increase of 5.5 per cent compared to the previous year, and accounting for 12.4 per cent of Kazakhstan’s GDP.

Strong growth was observed in several industries, including mechanical engineering (+11.1 per cent), chemical production (+7 per cent), building materials (+8.6 per cent), and food processing (+10 per cent).

The oil and gas sector produced 7.6 million tons of oil products, with a target of delivering 62 billion cubic meters of gas by the end of 2025. The upcoming launch of the 302-kilometer Taldykorgan-Usharal main gas pipeline in September is expected to provide gas to over 60 settlements. Petrochemical output also increased by 12.7 per cent year-on-year to 380,000 tons.

Electricity generation rose by 3.3 per cent to 62.2 billion kilowatt-hours. Kazakhstan plans to add nearly 6,700 megawatts (MW) of new generation capacity by 2028, including 620 MW from traditional and renewable sources slated for completion this year.

Since the start of 2025, the Investment Headquarters has reviewed 71 projects worth approximately $60 billion. Kazakhstan’s national digital investment platform currently features 1,106 projects valued at over 77 trillion tenge ($141.5 billion).

In the transportation sector, Kazakhstan intends to purchase 175 new passenger rail carriages by the end of the year, further modernizing its infrastructure.
