According to the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan, 9.2 thousand accidents were registered in the first four months of 2025, resulting in 558 deaths and 12.5 thousand injuries. This is three times higher compared to the same period in 2023. The annual damage from road accidents amounts to 5% of the country's GDP (15 billion USD).
