What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Asian Development Bank published its outlook on the Kazakh economy, stating that new U.S. tariffs would have a limited direct impact because key exports, including uranium and other commodities, are exempt. The bank noted that consumption growth in Kazakhstan is projected at 5.0% in 2026, supported by state infrastructure projects and financing from Baiterek. By mid-2026, Baiterek had provided around $6.2 billion of its planned annual $16.4 billion in lending.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The outlook detailed how investment growth is projected at 8.0% in 2026, though net exports of goods and services are expected to decline in both 2026 and 2027. This decline is attributed to growing imports of intermediate and investment goods and exposure to oil-sector disruptions. The ADB maintained Kazakhstan’s GDP growth forecast at 4.8% for 2026 and 4.5% for 2027.
