President Tokayev receives report on Kazakhstan’s socio-economic situation

Manufacturing and construction industries have become the main drivers of Kazakhstans economic development this year. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev received Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov who presented a report on the socio-economic situation in the country. Significant growth has also been seen in agriculture, Bektenov noted. To date, nearly 4.5 million hectares of major crops have been harvested, and around 6.6 million tonnes of grain have been threshed, marking a 40 percent growth compared to last year.
