The industrial growth rate of seven percent has been
observed in the Ulytau region, ranking fourth in Kazakhstan based on the
indicator. During his working trip to the region, the country’s Prime Minister Olzhas
Bektenov instructed government agencies and businesses to maintain this
momentum and utilize the available reserves. Bektenov visited the Zhylandy
mine, where he was briefed on work carried out by Kazakhmys company to enhance
domestic value. Over the past six months, the corporation has purchased goods,
works, and services from domestic suppliers worth 93 billion tenge.
Additionally, offtake contracts with local enterprises have been signed for
nearly 28 billion tenge.
«In his state-of-the-nation address to Kazakh
citizens, President Tokayev emphasized the importance of developing the country’s
mining and metallurgical complex. Among the priority tasks is the encouragement
of private enterprises to invest in geological exploration, where it is
essential to note the available reserves for further growth. At the same time,
we are witnessing fundamental shifts in the global economy, with the
technological race gaining momentum and competition for resources intensifying.
Thus, we need to make every effort to increase raw material reserves for our
manufacturing industries,» Bektenov said.
