On April 16, 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure Development of Kazakhstan announced that the Ministry has formulated and completed a list of investment projects for 2021-2025, including 819 investment projects with a total amount of 17.6 trillion tenge (US$41 billion) ). According to the list of investment projects, Kazakhstan plans to implement 552 industrial projects, 158 construction projects, 23 transportation projects, 58 mining development projects, and 28 defense industry projects by 2025.

According to reports from the Ministry of Industry of Kazakhstan, the implementation of epidemic prevention and isolation measures has affected all industrial sectors to attract investment and implement projects on schedule. Enterprises are facing a series of problems such as lagging supply of equipment parts, lack of production materials, and restricted entry of foreign technical experts. Despite multiple difficulties, according to the statistics of the Kazakhstan National Bureau of Statistics, in 2020, the scale of special investment in fixed assets within the scope of the Ministry of Industry of Kazakhstan will reach 5.83 trillion tenge (US$13.6 billion), a year-on-year increase of 16%.
