During the meeting, the two sides reviewed the global economic situation and highlighted progress achieved through their longstanding partnership, particularly in the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, the energy sector, and agriculture.
Toqayev expressed support for the EBRD’s continued investment plans in Kazakhstan, including projects tied to the green transition.
Odile Renaud-Basso commended Kazakhstan’s investment climate and reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to supporting the country’s development. She noted that the EBRD had recently approved funding for the reconstruction of the 234-kilometer Aqtobe–Ulgaysyn highway, a key route for domestic and international transport.
