Kazakhstan's net business growth jumps sevenfold
Kazakhstan saw a surge in entrepreneurial activity, with net business gain increasing sevenfold year over year, Qazinform News Agency reports, citing the State Revenue Committee.
In 2024, the country registered 414,000 legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. Within that year, 394,000 business entities were deregistered, resulting in a net growth of 20,000.
However, this positive trend accelerated sharply in 2025. According to the State Revenue Committee, the number of new registrations rose to 478,000, whereas business closures dropped to 335,000.
As a result, the net growth for 2025 reached 142,000 legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, or more than seven times the growth rate recorded in 2024.
As Qazinform reported earlier, the number of social enterprises in Kazakhstan has doubled.
