Construction sector contributes 6% to Kazakhstan’s GDP

Construction accounts for 6% of Kazakhstan’s GDP. Last year, over 19 million square meters were built across the country, including more than 170,000 residential units. In the first half of 2025, over 120 schools and kindergartens, as well as 30 medical centers and clinics, were constructed nationwide. Overall, the volume of construction work has increased by 18% since the beginning of the year. These figures were presented by the government, where Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov congratulated industry workers on their professional holiday on behalf of the Head of State. Bektenov noted that a new Construction Code has been developed as part of the implementation of the President’s directives.

«I would like to once again express my sincere gratitude to the Head of State for reinstating the title of Honored Builder of Kazakhstan as a state award. This is a special recognition of us – builders – and I wish all those here today, as well as all builders across the country, good health and continued success,» said construction industry veteran Kaisar Omarov.
