Central Asian economies set to grow by 6.1 per cent in 2025, according to EBRD forecastModerated growth of 5.2 per cent expected in 2026Volatility in commodity prices, reliance on remittances and dependence on neighbouring markets named as risk factorsThe European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) expects the Central Asian economies of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan to grow by 6.1 per cent on average in 2025, according to its latest Regional Economic Prospects report, published today.This solid growth is supported by strong industrial output, robust domestic demand, investment, rising real wages and strong remittance inflows. The outlook for these economies remains positive in 2026, but growth is expected to moderate to 5.2 per cent. The report sees volatility in commodity prices, reliance on remittances and continued dependence on Russian and Chinese markets as the main threats to strong growth.Central Asia’s largest economy, Kazakhstan, has performed strongly in 2025, driven by increased oil production at the Tengiz field. Output rose by 11.6 per cent in the first six months of the year, boosting industrial growth as well as stimulating pipeline transportation activity and wholesale trade. The construction sector has also expanded rapidly, accelerating to 18.4 per cent year-on-year growth in the first half of 2025, supported by major infrastructure projects, utility repairs and the modernisation and construction of residential and educational buildings. On the expenditure side, growth has been underpinned by robust consumption and investments. Household consumption has remained strong, fuelled by continuously strong consumer demand.  full text here: https://www.ebrd.com/home/news-and-events/news/2025/ebrd-gives-positive-outlook-for-central-asian-economies.html?utm_source=Email&mkt_tok=Njg1LUJRTi00MjQAAAGdOvCBibohWyRfowoXVwCS2KInr8E1zduaMufzRcI-KV3i28fXIfpskYBoYYCZm_BykPcyYu0XH8sNvwu7DT_zoAbAUEQNbXGWp93BsSM (ICE ALMATY)
