ASTANA – Kazakhstan is restructuring its investment policy to increase private and foreign capital, strengthen domestic production and infrastructure, and shift state support toward mobilizing additional business investment. The Investment Policy Concept until 2030 was adopted in December 2025, while Baiterek Holding was transformed into a national investment holding.
