Multi-dimensional Review of Kazakhstan
Volume 2. In-depth Analysis and Recommendations
Kazakhstan has embarked upon an ambitious reform agenda to realise its aspiration
of becoming one of the top 30 global economies by 2050. The country’s economy and
society have undergone deep transformations since independence. To sustain economic
progress, overcome recent difficulties, and drive improvements in well-being to realise
its aspirations, Kazakhstan will need to address a number of challenges to ensure
its economy becomes more productive and diverse, and is sufficiently flexible and
resilient in the face of an ever-shifting external environment. This next stage of
economic transformation will require continuing reforms. This report discusses policy
actions to address four key obstacles to development in Kazakhstan, identified in
Volume 1 of this review. It presents in-depth analysis and recommendations to improve
the economy’s resilience through diversification, to mobilise financing for development,
to transform the role of the state in the economy, including through privatisation,
and to improve the effectiveness of environmental regulations.
