ADB's Work in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is the first country in Central Asia to join the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 1994. ADB has since supported Kazakhstan’s development through sovereign and nonsovereign financing, public–private partnerships advisory, technical assistance, and knowledge solutions. Operations have been focused on budget support and on the transport, finance, and renewable energy sectors.

Current ADB operations in Kazakhstan support economic diversification, inclusive development, and sustainable growth. ADB is also supporting Kazakhstan’s active participation in the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program.

ADB opened its Kazakhstan Resident Mission (KARM) in 1998. KARM has its head office in Nur-Sultan and one branch in Almaty. The Nur-Sultan office provides primary support for operations in the country and policy dialogue with the government. The Almaty branch hosts region-wide private sector operations and knowledge work. Both offices provide logistical support for ADB missions visiting Kazakhstan.

KARM conducts country partnership strategy development, programming, portfolio, and knowledge management activities. It also coordinates ADB operations with other development partners and engages in dialogues with local stakeholders, including academic institutions, think-tanks, the civil society, and nongovernment organizations.

KARM will be closed on these dates:
