In Kazakhstan, the reconstruction of four
key motorways has been completed. These are Karagandy – Almaty, Taldykorgan – Oskemen,
Aktobe – Kandyagash, and Atyrau – Astrakhan. According to the Ministry of
Transport, this year, repair work covered a total of 12,000 kilometers.
Significant work has been done in railway construction and renovation of
transport infrastructure, with over 1,000 kilometers of railways reconstructed
and rolling stock updated. Meanwhile, Kazakh airlines expanded their
international route networks and acquired new aircraft. The construction of new
terminals at the airports of Almaty, Kyzylorda, and Shymkent was also finalized.
As a result of such work, the country has increased the volume of cargo
transportation and transit of goods.
«Overall, the volume of transport services
in monetary terms increased by 13 percent to 7.7 trillion tenge. Freight
transportation showed notable growth: road transport rose by 19.8 percent, and
pipeline and rail transport also saw increases. Domestic transportation grew by
8.8 percent, transit freight – by 6.1 percent, and container transit – by 8.7
percent,» said Kazakh Vice Minister of Transport Maksat Kaliakparov.
The agricultural sector also showed good
results this year. Since the beginning of 2024, the gross output volume has
increased by nearly 13.5 percent to around 8 trillion tenge. According to the
relevant department, such indicators were achieved due to increased production
in crop and livestock farming.
«We see growth in this sector throughout
the year due to grain and oilseeds processing and sugar production. To prevent
a slowdown in the growth rate of the sector’s development, next year, the
volume of financing for spring field and harvesting work will be increased to
700 billion tenge, with 200 billion tenge allocated for preferential leasing of
agricultural machinery,» noted Kazakh Vice Minister of Agriculture Azat
Sultanov.
