Kazakhstan Climbs IMD Ranking, Focuses on Business Efficiency

Kazakhstan has made significant strides in the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025, climbing nine places to 34th. This progress is driven by its focus on business efficiency, infrastructure, and economic reforms.

Kazakhstan's rise is notable as many Central and Eastern European countries have slipped in the rankings due to declining innovation and regulatory uncertainties. The country's reforms in tax and corporate law, along with its digital transformation, have contributed to its improved ranking. Its high employment rate among youth and women, low energy prices, and diversification efforts have also played a significant role.

The IMD ranking in 2025 is topped by Switzerland, Singapore, and Hong Kong, reflecting the global economy's shift towards knowledge-based, innovative, and sustainable growth. These countries excel in economic stability, innovation, efficient administration, and strategic location policies. Meanwhile, emerging economies like India are projected to maintain strong GDP growth rates through sustainable policies and modernization efforts.

Kazakhstan's progress in the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025 demonstrates its commitment to adapting to the increasingly knowledge-based global economy. Its focus on business efficiency, infrastructure, and economic reforms, along with its high employment rates and diversification efforts, bode well for its future competitiveness. As the global economy transforms, countries like Kazakhstan that embrace modernization and specialization will likely continue to rise in the rankings.
