September 20 at a press conference in the press center of the Government, First Vice Minister for Investments and Development Roman Sklyar told about the measures of state support for the enterprises of the machine-building industry.

The Sixth Forum of Machine Builders of Kazakhstan starts September 20, 2018, at which topical issues of the development of not only the machine-building, but also major systemic issues of the entire manufacturing industry will be discussed.

As Sklyar noted, the level of engineering is an indicator of the technological development of the entire national industry.

"As we know, engineering is one of the most complex and differentiated industries. Perhaps, therefore, mechanical engineering is most sensitive to state regulation measures. Despite the high level of competition, the engineering industry looks with optimism for the future, having tangible measures of support from the state," the first vice minister said.

Thus, this industry was identified as a priority within the State Program of Industrial and Innovative Development of the country. During the years of the first five-year plan, SPIID engineering has become the most dynamically developing industry. The volume of production in the industry increased 2.3 times from 376 billion tenge in 2010 to 870 billion tenge in 2014. The share of domestic machine-building in the volume of manufacturing increased from 9.7% to 14.8%. In general, over the years of industrialization, more than 100 projects have been implemented in the machine-building industry.

Sklyar explains that the mechanisms of state regulation of the industry developed from the moment of establishment of Kazakhstan as an independent state and this process was dependent not only on the state of the industry, but also on the country and world economy. In order to develop alternative measures of state support, amendments and additions have been made to the Entrepreneurial, Tax and Customs Codes.

In order to stimulate engineering, the state provides concessional lending to both the enterprises themselves and their consumers. Thus, a wide range of services is provided through the Baiterek National Holding, including financing of projects for creating or modernizing production facilities and subsidizing interest rates for bank loans.

"In this regard, it is important to emphasize, as an example, a program of preferential car loans and leasing financing, thanks to which it was possible to stimulate demand for Kazakhstani products during the economic downturn and to support domestic car assembly enterprises," Sklyar said.

In addition, there are general support measures, such as export support through Kazakh Invest, as well as other measures that stimulate the development of industrial projects along the Baiterek line.

Sklyar informed that in order to develop machine building further, in 2018 the ministry together with the Union of Machine Builders of Kazakhstan developed a draft Comprehensive Machinery Development Plan for 2019-2030, which will be discussed with representatives of state bodies, development and business institutions within the framework of VI Forum of Machine Builders of Kazakhstan.

In conclusion, the first vice minister noted the need for state regulation and the policy of ensuring the availability of business support tools in order to develop this dynamically developing industry.

Realization of State Program of Industrial and Innovative Development for 2015-2019 is under special control of the Government. At a regular meeting chaired by the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, heads of three ministries reported on the program’s results for the first half of 2018. Read the review material of PrimeMinister.kz on indicators that have been achieved and how has the processing sector changed under the SPIID.

The second five-year industrialization period began in 2015, therefore the Ministry for Investments and Development takes 2015 for comparison to sum up the State Program’s implementation results. According to the ministry’s information, it is already possible today to say that the implemented program fully corresponds to the goals set, favorably influencing the stability and positive growth dynamics of the manufacturing sector.

For example, the share of manufacturing in GDP has grown by 11.8%. Growth is observed in the industrial sector, from 39.5% to 40.9%, in exports from 24.4% to 28.7%, in the inflow of foreign direct investment — from 15.5% to 17.6%.

One of the important aspects is that industrialization contributes to an increase in the number of enterprises in the manufacturing industries oriented towards the output of finished products (chemical industry, engineering, furniture, building materials, etc.).

So, if we compare the first half of 2018 with 2010, 3,500 additional operating enterprises appeared in the processing industries.

As noted in the ministry, growth was achieved mainly due to the increase in the number of enterprises in machine building (805), food industry (545), construction materials (514), the share of which in the total growth of processing enterprises is more than 50%. At the same time, the greatest growth is observed in the chemical industry (1.7 times), mechanical engineering (1.5 times) and production of other finished products (3.3 times).

Also in the first half year, as compared with the same period in 2017, the manufacturing sector grew by 5.2%. The main drivers of growth, contributing to positive dynamics, are mechanical engineering (+ 17.2%), chemical industry (+ 11%), food production (+ 5.2%), oil processing (+ 4.4%), metallurgy (+3.4%), production of construction materials (+ 2.2%).

For 2018 reporting period, all the target indicators show positive dynamics.

Export: 123 Countries and 800 Items

As is known, the vision of the industrialization policy is to achieve the average level of competitiveness of the most developed OECD countries in the manufacturing industry by 2035 through increasing the share of Kazakhstan in world manufacturing exports. So, target indicators of the State Program are to achieve an increase in the value of exports of manufactured products by 19% to the level of 2015.

The average exports of manufacturing products in the republic for 2018 increased by 20.5% to the corresponding period of 2015 and amounted to $2.5 billion.

In the context of the priority sectors of the manufacturing industry, a significant increase is noted in railway (3.7 times), in electrical engineering and agrochemistry (3.1 times), in building materials (3 times) and in mining machinery (2 times).

The current geography of exports is 123 countries, to which about 800 commodity items are exported.

For some commodity positions, new markets have been opened. For example, in 2018, the supply of engineering products and building materials to Uzbekistan and chemical products to Ukraine began. The food industry's production continues to be in demand abroad: export contracts worth $13.2 million have been concluded. In particular, meat supplies to Iran, Bahrain, exports of meat products, animal and vegetable oils to Russia, vegetable oil to China, sugar to Uzbekistan.

Undoubtedly, to achieve these indicators, the Government carried out a large complex work jointly with exporters. The latter were provided with service support, trade missions, and advertisement and presentation for the promotion of domestic products.

Labor Productivity: Goal — Increase of 22%

Another target indicator of the State Program is the growth of labor productivity in the manufacturing industry by 22% in real terms to the level of 2015.

According to the Ministry for Investments and Development, labor productivity in the manufacturing industry in the country in 2018 increased by 8.5% compared to 2015 and amounted to $8,000 per person.

In the manufacturing sectors, the highest growth in productivity is observed in oil and gas, and electrical engineering, oil refining, oil and gas chemistry, construction materials production, and ferrous metallurgy — by 10.4%. By the end of the year, it is planned to increase the labor productivity in the manufacturing industry by 11.9%.

Investments Almost Doubled

Among the program’s effectiveness indicators — the volume of investment in fixed assets of manufacturing industry. By the end of the implementation, this indicator should be 4.5 trillion tenge.

Meanwhile, for six months of 2018, the volume of investments in the main capital of the country’s manufacturing industry amounted to 532.8 billion tenge, an increase of 47.6% compared with the same period in 2015.

In terms of manufacturing sectors, taking into account the implementation of major projects to modernize the refinery, investment in refining (11 times) has sharply increased. In addition, significant growth is noted in electrical engineering (3.2 times) and food production (1.9 times).

Industrialization Map: Eighteen New Projects for Six Months

As a result of the provision of systematic measures to support enterprises, the State Program continues the launch of new production facilities, the modernization and expansion of existing enterprises.

For six months of 2018, 18 projects for about 187 billion tenge were introduced within the Industrialization Map, over 1,800 permanent jobs were created. Among them there are such significant projects as Bakyrchik Mining Enterprise LLP — the construction of a mining and processing complex with a capacity of 2 million tons of ore per year in the East Kazakhstan region, as well as Maker LLP —modernization of machine-building production in the Karaganda region.

In the second half of 2018 it is planned to implement about 100 projects worth about 1.1 trillion tenge with the creation of more than 12,200 jobs.

Currently, on the instruction of the Head of State, the Ministry for Investments and Development, taking into account new global technology trends, has developed a conceptual vision of industrial-innovative development for 2020-2024. The main goal of the new program will be further enhancing the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry with an emphasis on the development and promotion of exports. Particular attention will be paid to the transfer of technology and the promotion of digitalization of the manufacturing industry.

Impact on GDP

Minister of National Economy Timur Suleimenov spoke about the component of the manufacturing industry in the country's GDP at a meeting of the Government. According to him, in general, the share of the manufacturing sector in GDP after the decline in 2015 to 10.1% began to recover and by the results of the first quarter of 2018 reached 12.9%.

It is noted that of the manufacturing industries the largest contribution to the country's GDP was made by: metallurgy (5.1% of GDP), food industry (1.7% of GDP), refining (1.3% of GDP) and construction materials (0,8% of GDP). The aggregate GVA of the manufacturing industry is dominated by: metallurgy (39.9%), food industry (13.4%), oil refining (10.4%), construction materials production (6.3%). Suleimenov also stressed that the sector is stable: it supports the economy during the crisis periods.
