Prosecutors in Kazakhstan’s Almaty region resolved 30 problematic issues for 28 investors in the first half of 2026, affecting projects worth 1.2 trillion tenge ($2.6 billion) that aim to create over 20,000 jobs. The interventions included canceling six illegal inspections and three administrative fines, as well as providing four land plots and two technical conditions for electricity grid connection. Eighteen officials were held accountable, with eight disciplined and ten fined, the regional prosecutor’s office reported.
Investor Obstacles Removed
Prosecutors addressed 30 problematic issues for 28 investors whose combined projects total 1.2 trillion tenge and over 20,000 planned jobs. Actions included canceling six illegal inspections by regulatory agencies and three wrongful administrative fines. Four land plots and two technical conditions for electrical grid connection were secured for investors after prosecutorial intervention.
Prosecutor’s Filter Applied
About 100 investors were added to the National Digital Investment Platform, triggering mandatory prosecutorial oversight—the “prosecutor’s filter.” During the period, prosecutors refused to approve three inspections, ten administrative protocols, and eleven restrictive measures against investors. Two lawsuits filed without prior prosecutorial consent were withdrawn by state agencies.
Officials Sanctioned
Eighteen officials faced accountability for creating administrative barriers to investment. Of these, eight received disciplinary penalties and ten were subjected to administrative fines, according to the regional prosecutor’s office. The measures targeted civil servants whose actions had obstructed investor operations.
What's Next
The Almaty regional prosecutor’s office will continue monitoring investor protection through the digital platform. It remains unclear whether other regions face similar levels of administrative interference in investment projects.
