Türkiye-Kazakhstan economic and digital cooperation

Overview

Economic and technological cooperation between Türkiye and Kazakhstan has expanded from digital infrastructure to financial technology.

Initially, Turkish firms focused on strengthening regional connectivity. Türk Telekom International (TTI) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Akashi Data Center in Kazakhstan to enhance digital footprints and fiber optic networks. This period was marked by significant Turkish investment in Kazakhstan, totaling approximately $6 billion, with a focus on infrastructure and logistics via the Middle Corridor.

Following these infrastructure developments, the relationship progressed toward monetary cooperation. At the Istanbul Economy Forum, Kazakhstan’s National Bank expressed interest in collaborating with Türkiye on digital currency, offering to share Kazakhstan’s expertise while seeking to learn from Turkish experiences.
