On April 28, 2025, the Kazakhstan Finance Day roundtable dedicated to Kazakhstan’s investment potential was held in New York. The event brought together key players from the global financial market, investment funds, and international corporations, including Citigroup, Franklin Templeton, Blackstone, JP Morgan, Temasek, MasterCard, and Cerberus Capital Management. It was organized by the Embassy of Kazakhstan in the United States and Citi.
The purpose of the roundtable was to draw the attention of international investors and strategic partners to opportunities for developing joint projects, innovation, and technology in Kazakhstan. The discussion featured participation from Chairman of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan Timur Suleimenov, First Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market Nurlan Abdrakhmanov, Chairman of the Management Board of Samruk-Kazyna JSC Nurlan Zhakupov, and Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of ‘Baiterek’ National Managing Holding JSC Zhandos Shaikhi.
In his remarks, Zhandos Shaikhi highlighted the Holding’s priorities in supporting the non-resource sector and developing new drivers of economic growth. He noted that in 2025, the Holding plans to allocate approximately USD 15.5 billion to support entrepreneurship, housing construction, and the implementation of key investment projects. By 2027, this amount is expected to grow to USD 19.4 billion.
“To achieve the target GDP growth rate of up to 7%, we are strengthening our efforts to finance the real sector of the economy, particularly in manufacturing, infrastructure, and support for SMEs,” Zhandos Shaikhi emphasized.
Among the projects presented were further development plans for Otbasy Bank JSC, including preparations for an initial public offering. He also focused on the upcoming issuance of eurobonds by ‘Baiterek’ Holding, aimed at attracting additional resources to finance the economy.
Special attention was given to expanding cooperation with U.S. companies in the areas of engineering and processing, where Kazakhstan offers substantial potential for joint investment projects.
The Holding also presented its initiative to participate in the implementation of the National Project for the Modernization of the Energy and Utilities Sectors, with a total funding volume of USD 26 billion. The project is expected to significantly upgrade infrastructure and enhance the reliability of vital public systems.
The event served as an important international platform for promoting Kazakhstan’s investment image and establishing new ties with global financial and institutional partners.
