Kazakhstan faces tightening monetary policy and reduced fiscal support
Economic forecasts indicate that Kazakhstan's economy will slow in 2026 due to reduced fiscal stimulus and higher interest rates.
Macroeconomic analysts forecast that Kazakhstan's GDP growth will slow to around 4.5% in 2026, compared to stronger growth in 2025. The expected deceleration is driven by reduced fiscal support measures, the stabilization of hydrocarbon production, and monetary tightening aimed at controlling inflation. These factors could increase pressure on businesses and households, particularly as oil prices are expected to decline and national fund transfers drop. Such conditions may heighten economic vulnerability in the medium term.
