First Deputy Prime Minister Nurlibek Nalibayev reviewed the progress of major infrastructure, social, and utility projects financed from the National Fund in Almaty and the Almaty Region.

On the instructions of the Head of State, significant funds are being allocated from the National Fund for the implementation of projects. For the current year alone, 1.5 trillion tenge has been earmarked.

During the working trip, the First Deputy Prime Minister was presented with a development plan for Almaty International Airport. It provides for the modernization of terminal and runway infrastructure, the construction of a new taxiway, a cargo apron, and the development of service facilities.

Next, Nurlibek Nalibayev inspected an 8 km section of the R-17 highway "Almaty – Talgar – Baidibek bi," which is planned to be expanded to four lanes, as well as a project to reconstruct 7 km of the "Almaty – Bishkek" highway. This includes widening the road from 4 to 8 lanes, building 2 transport interchanges, and 9 overpasses for pedestrians. The project will increase the capacity of one of the key routes between Almaty and its suburbs.

The next site was City Clinical Hospital No. 7 in the Kalkaman microdistrict. After reconstruction, its capacity will be 900 beds. The project includes upgrading buildings and engineering systems, reinforcing structures, and equipping the facility with modern medical equipment.

As Nurlibek Nalibayev reported, taking into account republican budget funds and financing for the coming year, 196 billion tenge has been allocated for the city's healthcare.

"The Head of State instructed that 60–70% of the funds be directed specifically to the construction of healthcare facilities, since the population first and foremost needs modern medical infrastructure," said Nurlibek Nalibayev. "Now these funds must be spent efficiently, all work must be completed on time, and the facilities must be put into operation for the benefit of the population. These are very important projects that are also under the control of the Prime Minister," the First Deputy Prime Minister noted.

Next, the participants of the inspection tour reviewed the extension of Saina Street from the border of Almaty to the BAKAD. The length of the new section is 6.6 km. The project provides for the construction of a road, utility networks, and an overpass across railway tracks, and will improve transport links between the city and the Karasai district and the BAKAD.

Another project of significance for the entire agglomeration is the Western Sewer Collector of Almaty. The length of the main section is 35 km; to date, 17.9 km of pipeline has been laid. After the project is completed, about 200,000 residents of the Nauryzbai and Alatau districts of Almaty, as well as adjacent territories of the Almaty Region, will be able to use centralized sewerage.

Then Nurlibek Nalibayev reviewed the extension of Abai Avenue to the BAKAD, with a length of 3.4 km. The project includes the construction of a road, a bridge across the Aksai River, and an overpass across the BAKAD. The new section will create an additional exit from Almaty and improve transport links with the Karasai district.

The inspection tour concluded with social facilities in Almaty. The First Deputy Prime Minister visited the under-construction City Maternity Hospital No. 1 on Seifullin Street, designed for 155 beds, and a polyclinic on Aiteke bi Street with a capacity of 500 visits per shift.

Nurlibek Nalibayev noted that a number of the projects being implemented are intended not only for city residents but for the entire agglomeration.

During a working visit, he was presented with the outcomes of the reconstruction of one of the city's key public spaces, and received a report on the progress of the comprehensive improvement project along Satpayev Street from Baizakov Street to Luganskogo Street.

The project concept was developed by the British firm LDA Design (London). The work is being carried out by the Almaty Public Spaces Development Department according to the "facade-to-facade" principle.

The primary goal of the project is to create a modern, safe, and comfortable urban environment with priority given to pedestrians. The total area of the improved territory on Republic Square covers 4.5 hectares.

At Republic Square, the public space surfaces have been fully renewed, engineering networks have been modernized, and outdoor lighting and automatic irrigation systems have been upgraded.

Large-scale landscaping has been carried out: 233 large trees, over 63,000 shrubs, and 17,700 perennial plants have been planted, along with newly established lawns and clover-covered areas. In the evening, the green spaces are enhanced by decorative architectural lighting, creating a striking appearance for the public space.

For residents' comfort, modern children's playgrounds, walking routes, relaxation zones, and two amphitheaters have been equipped. Bicycle paths have also been built on the square, which will become part of a unified bike route being created along the entire length of Satpayev Street. Over 500 elements of urban furniture and amenities have been installed, including benches, waste bins, bike racks, tables, chairs, landscape furnishings, arches, and other small architectural forms.

One of the distinctive features of the renewed square is eight decorative ponds, which shape the new landscape character of the public space.

In 2026, the Almaty Industrial Zone will continue its large-scale development. By the end of the year, it is planned to launch 11 new investment projects, open new small industrial parks, and begin the implementation of the third phase of territory expansion. This was announced at a briefing at the Regional Communications Service by Yerlan Zhailaubay, Director of the Almaty Industrial Zone.

According to the director, this year 11 projects with a total value of 12.6 billion tenge are planned to be commissioned in the Industrial Zone, which will create 691 new jobs. Six of these projects belong to the industrial sector.

Among the most significant are the expansion of production of equipment for heating and water supply systems, the construction of a modern Euro Truck Service logistics complex, the launch of a plant for the production of sheet PVC, the production of aerated concrete blocks and ALC panels, the opening of a plant for manufacturing household paper products, as well as a facility for producing metal road and bridge structures.

As Yerlan Zhailaubay noted, all new projects align with the priority directions for the development of domestic industry.

"Today, the most dynamically developing sectors are building materials, mechanical engineering, transport logistics, the chemical industry, waste processing, and the production of everyday consumer goods. These are the sectors that form the foundation of a modern diversified economy, contribute to import substitution, and increase the share of domestic products on the domestic market," he emphasized.

Simultaneously, the development of infrastructure for small and medium-sized businesses continues. In 2026, it is planned to open five new small industrial parks in Almaty with a total area of over 22 thousand square meters. Their launch will create more than 400 new jobs and expand opportunities for locating manufacturing enterprises.

Special attention is being paid to the long-term development of the Industrial Zone. According to the director, the Almaty Akimat (city administration) is already working on the third phase of expanding the industrial site.

It is planned to increase the territory of the Industrial Zone by approximately another 376 hectares. To date, land plots with a total area of 323 hectares have already been purchased.

The implementation of the new phase will allow for the placement of additional high-tech manufacturing facilities, attract new investors, create thousands of jobs, and significantly increase tax revenues to the city budget.

According to Yerlan Zhailaubay, the Almaty Industrial Zone has long outgrown the framework of an ordinary industrial site and has transformed into a full-fledged production ecosystem.
The development of the automotive industry stimulates the creation of component manufacturing enterprises, the production of building materials supplies the domestic market with local products, logistics complexes increase supply chain efficiency, and processing enterprises implement the principles of a circular economy and rational resource use.

Such an integrated approach, the speaker emphasized, makes Almaty one of the most attractive regions in the country for locating new production facilities and implementing investment projects.

In the future, the Industrial Zone is set to become one of the leading centers of high-tech industry in Kazakhstan. The main directions for further development will remain attracting investment in high-value-added projects, developing mechanical engineering, the electronics and chemical industries, producing new-generation building materials, modernizing logistics infrastructure, processing industrial waste, and broadly implementing digital technologies into production processes.

Summarizing the results, the director of the Industrial Zone noted that in a relatively short period, it has been possible to establish modern industrial infrastructure, implement dozens of investment projects, attract hundreds of billions of tenge in investment, create thousands of jobs, and ensure the output of products worth trillions of tenge.

According to him, the further development of the Industrial Zone will strengthen Almaty's position as a leading industrial, investment, and innovation hub of Kazakhstan, increase the competitiveness of domestic industry, expand the country's export potential, and ensure sustainable economic growth for the long term.
