GDP growth will remain robust at 4% in 2019, driven mainly by private consumption, but will slow to around 3.5% in 2020 and 2021, as the stimulating effect of fiscal packages dies out. The current account balance will deteriorate as imports rise on the back of stronger demand for consumer and capital goods. Export growth could decelerate amid an expected economic slowdown in Kazakhstan’s main trading partners.
