The growth nobody felt: what Kazakhstans economy shows in mid-2026
GDP grew 4.1% in the first half of 2026, manufacturing 9.8%, private investment 21.4%. From the same statistics: real wages fell 2.3% in the first quarter, the worst result in the Eurasian Union, and retail trade halved its pace. Both figures are correct, and between them lies the whole of current economic policy.
