The Kazakh economy will not have the capacity to reach the 7% real growth target officially set for 2012. That notwithstanding, growth will still be relatively strong: 6% year-on-year. In 2013-2014 the economy will continue to rely on the oil sector as a primary source of growth. Developments in the banking sector continue to suffer from the consequences of the 2008 crisis, as the share of non-performing loans in Kazakhstan remains high.
