More than 15 million square
meters of new housing were commissioned in Kazakhstan in 11 months, marking a
16 percent increase compared to the same period last year. The construction activities
amounted to six trillion tenge, as stated by the government that provided an
overview of the sector’s achievements in 2023. Another accomplishment of the
outgoing year is the systematic expansion of domestic production in
construction materials, which grew 10 percent to one trillion tenge. Among the
41 projects launched from the approved Roadmap until 2027 are a lime production
plant, and an enterprise for manufacturing asphalt concrete, roofing and facing
material. The Abai region has seen the restoration and modernization of a
cement plant, while the Zhetisu region witnessed the expansion of ceramic tile
production. The commissioning of three more projects is expected in Shymkent
soon. The share of domestic producers in the total volume of construction
material purchases has increased to 66 percent, which indicates the
strengthening of their position in the domestic market, according to the
government.
