In October 2024, the Eurasian Development Bank’s (EDB) Fund for Digital Initiatives allocated the first tranche for a project to establish a National Digital Investment Platform in Kazakhstan.
The project aligns with the digital agenda of EDB member states — Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan, aiming to accelerate the development of the digital economy. In July 2024, the EDB signed an agreement with the Investment Committee of Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Information Technology JSC to launch the platform.
The initiative will provide comprehensive support to investors and investment projects by integrating all participants in the investment system. It is expected to streamline interactions between government authorities and the quasi-government sector in promoting investments in Kazakhstan’s economy. The platform will coordinate and optimise the selection and registration of investment projects, the conclusion of investment agreements and their monitoring.
In addition, the project is expected to serve as a successful model of digital transformation in investment attraction and support, with the potential for implementation in other EDB member states.
The platform already has 755 registered investment projects, with part of its functions already operational. Full completion of the project is scheduled for 31 July 2025.
