The Dutch Disease and Sustainable Economic Growth : The Case of Kazakhstan

초록/요약

The problem of Dutch Disease became rather topical in Kazakhstan possessing extensive natural resources, particularly oil. The economy is said to be overheated displaying typical symptoms of Dutch Disease, such as high inflation and real exchange rate, and more generally, growing dependence on petroleum exports given future output expansion plans. The issue raised in this paper is to define whether Kazakhstan is affected by the notorious resource curse, and if so, what measures can be taken to offset its impact on the economy, considering the international experience of some developing countries which have been following similar path of oil-led economic growth.
