In the first half of the year, industrial
production in Kazakhstan grew by 6.5%, reaching 29 trillion tenge. The main
drivers of this growth were mechanical engineering, the chemical industry, and
the food sector. The manufacturing industry contributed 12.4% to the country’s
GDP. Across the country, the active implementation of President Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev’s directives to develop the real sector of the economy continues. This
was stated by First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar at a government briefing.
According to him, Kazakhstan plans to launch 190 projects worth 1.5 trillion
tenge this year, with 47 facilities already put into operation. Efforts are
also underway to attract investors and create favorable conditions for them.
«Investments in fixed capital are on the rise.
We are also increasing public investment, particularly in the construction of
engineering and transport infrastructure, areas traditionally supported by the
state. When it comes to breakthrough investment projects, our primary interest
lies in the manufacturing sector, although the mining and metallurgical complex
remains a priority as well,» noted Kazakh First Deputy Prime Minister Roman
Sklyar.
