The research aims to analyse Kazakhstans leading economic growth in Central Asia to assess the current situation and derive recommendations for enhancing investment potential and attractiveness. The complex of methods used in the research process includes analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, abstraction, statistical methods of analysis, and a systematic approach. It was determined that among the Central Asian economies, only the Republic of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan provided significant gross domestic product growth and positive dynamics of capital inflows.
