The volume of industrial production in Astana reached 2.5 trillion tenge last year, representing growth
of over 10%. In addition, a record 2 trillion tenge was attracted to the
capital’s economy. The industrial park, home to about 140 enterprises, plays a
significant role in this development. In his state-of-the-nation address,
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized the need to strengthen economic
drivers. Key priorities include investment, industrial development, and
entrepreneurship, with a focus on producing high value-added goods that are competitive both
in domestic and international markets.
«We have two front offices that support each investor from application
to project commissioning, including those in manufacturing. These are the
Astana Development Center and the City Investment Development Center. Last
year, under the mayor’s
leadership, a regional investment headquarters was also established within
the mayor’s office to address the issues faced by each investor,» noted Nurzhan Ashimov, Head of the Department at Astana
Investment and Entrepreneurship Development Department.
Domestic enterprises are moving toward import substitution. A clear example is the production of aluminum profiles and fiber cement panels. These materials are widely used in the construction of residential buildings, social facilities, and other structures. Another advantage of the enterprise is that its products are made entirely from domestic raw materials, which allows for significant cost reductions.
«We have completely eliminated
the use of imported materials. For example, a fiber cement plant has opened in
the city of Semei, and we process its materials at our factory,» said Maksat Sadvakassov, General
Director of the industrial enterprise.
