After Russia’s war against Ukraine, the U.S. and Western Europe imposed heavy sanctions on Russia, affecting multiple industries. Since most of Kazakhstan’s exports to Europe pass through Russia, the country faces indirect economic challenges. These sanctions create additional difficulties for Kazakh exporters.This study examines the status of key industries and export changes by analyzing Kazakhstan’s recent economy. A SWOT analysis using KazData covers major export products, including oil, natural gas, metals, wood, and agricultural raw materials.Findings reveal that sanctions on Russia have disrupted Kazakhstan’s exports, causing market instability and artificial commodity shortages. The analysis offers insights for economists and scholars studying the broader economic consequences of these sanctions.
