The implementation
of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s state-of-the-nation address has given a
fresh impetus to the development of Kazakhstan’s
manufacturing sector. Over the first seven months of this year, the sector’s
output reached 18.8 trillion tenge, marking a 9% increase. Manufacturing’s
share of the country’s total industrial output rose to nearly 47%, surpassing
that of the mining sector. Mechanical engineering recorded the strongest growth
at 22%. Positive trends were also seen in the chemical and light industries, as
well as in the production of construction materials. At the same time, the
number of new enterprises is growing. This year, Kazakhstan plans to implement
200 industrial projects worth 1.7 trillion tenge. To date, 84 production
facilities have been launched, creating around 6,000 jobs. Once operating at
full capacity, these facilities are expected to
produce 1.5 trillion tenge worth of goods annually, with about a third destined
for export.
