If their number reaches at least 15%, then the real loss of GDP in 2022 can reach, under these scenarios, from 0.8 to 2.5 billion dollars, «the expert said … In particular, according to her, only losses from the termination of Internet commerce in January, based on data for 2021, should amount to about $ 144 million.

The CSR expert noted that the total aggregate contribution of the regions affected by the protests to Kazakhstan's GDP in the first half of 2021 was estimated at 62.5%. “The events that took place in Kazakhstan and the state of emergency introduced from January 5 to January 19 will most strongly affect such areas as trade, transport and logistics, communications, construction, as well as some services for the population (in particular, for example, the hotel business). The regions where the protests took place make a significant contribution to the country's economy, including these sectors, «Radchenko said.
