attractive cities in Kazakhstan. Driven by the pursuit of new opportunities,
thousands of people are moving to the capital, where the country’s key
financial and administrative resources are concentrated. An analysis of the
city’s core economic indicators, published by energyprom.kz, highlights that
rapid population growth has fueled the development in construction, the
domestic market, and the real estate sector. Astana also maintains a strong
