Kazakhstan will offer investors a 25-year legal stability guarantee for projects valued over 29.5 billion tenge ($56.6 million), Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy, Serik Zhumangarin, said at a government meeting, Trend reports via the Kazakh government.

He also emphasized that the country is adopting a new approach grounded in the principle of "investment demand." Central to this strategy is the National Digital Investment Platform, which aims to streamline processes and enhance transparency at every stage of project implementation.

In a government meeting earlier today, Zhumangarin announced a shift in the country's development evaluation model, moving the focus away from GDP volume and toward the quality of economic growth.

A new methodology, known as "growth decomposition," will be introduced to better analyze the drivers of economic growth. The primary indicator within this model will be "total factor productivity," which gauges the efficiency of labor and capital utilization and reflects the level of technological advancement.
