"Kazakhstan’s growth prospects are undermined by the Russia’s war on Ukraine and its consequences. While the country may benefit from elevated commodity prices, it will need to seek replacement suppliers and secure alternative transportation routes. The extra costs of more complicated trade logistics will likely be passed onto Kazakh consumers and producers, adding to inflationary pressures and detracting from the country’s international competitiveness" - “Kazakhstan Country Strategy, 2022-2027”, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

The strategy path of EBRD for Kazakhstan 2022-2027 is divided into three main priorities

  • Fostering Private Sector Competitiveness, Connectivity and Strengthening Economic Governance
  • Support Kazakhstan’s Green Pathway to Carbon Neutrality and Climate Resilience
  • Promote Economic Inclusion and Gender Equality through Private Sector Engagement

There are lots of activities planned to be done which will result in the achievement of these main priorities. 

Moreover, On 30 December of 2022, the headquarters of Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) approved the redistribution of the authorized capital from the Russian Federation sector in benefit of other Eurasian countries. Most of the authorized capital will be distributed into Kazakhstan's economy. As a result, the share of Russia will be decreased from 65,98% to 44,79%, while the authorized capital shares of EDB will consist of: Republic of Kazakhstan - 37,29%, Republic of Armenia - 4,23%, Republic of Kyrgyzstan - 4,23%, Republic of Belarus - 5,21%, Republic of Tajikistan - 4,26%. The EDB is the international financial organization which does the investments in the Eurasian countries. The changes in the benefit of Kazakhstan means the future increase in development of Infrastructure, Digitalization, Green energy, Agriculture and other sectors of the economy.
