Seven years of Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev’s presidency have been a period of structural transformation in
Kazakhstan’s development model and strengthening of the country’s international
standing. Reforms were implemented amid global turbulence, yet the country
managed to maintain macroeconomic stability and ensure sustainable growth,
according to an article by Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov, published in the newspapers
Kazakhstanskaya Pravda and Egemen Kazakhstan. As a result, the
country’s economic volume increased 1.7 times. Notably, key contributions came
from construction, transport, the services sector, and manufacturing. The
latter grew more than 2.5 times. Investments in fixed capital also rose, from
12.5 to almost 23 trillion tenge. A major focus has been the country’s transit
potential. Over the past seven years, about a thousand kilometers of new
railway lines were constructed, ports on the Caspian were modernized, and transport
volumes along the Trans-Caspian Transport Route increased fivefold. All these
achievements reflect the Head of State’s commitment to laying a solid
foundation for Kazakhstan’s further sustainable development and the well-being
of its citizens. They formed the basis for the draft of the country’s new
Constitution.
