K.Aksakalov: "It is necessary to pay special attention to the implementation and elaboration of new investment projects"

Two issues were considered at the staff meeting chaired by Akim of Kostanay region K. Aksakalov. In particular, the results of the socio-economic development of Kostanay region in January 2024, measures to ensure employment in 2023 and tasks for 2024 were discussed.
The Head of State instructed to ensure annual economic growth of at least 6%. This milestone is possible only with a monthly investment of at least 50 billion tenge.
At the same time, it is necessary to pay special attention to the implementation and elaboration of new investment projects.
All projects are financed through state support measures, akims only need to carry out appropriate work with entrepreneurs and ensure high-quality and timely implementation of planned projects.
"All the plans of the akims of districts and cities will be taken under control and we will see how they will be implemented at the end of the year," the governor of the region said.
Regarding the construction sector, the governor of the region noted that this year it is planned to introduce 500.0 thousand square meters of housing or 5.0 thousand apartments in the region.
For several years, there has been a steady increase in the rate of housing commissioning and construction and installation work.
The growth in the volume of commercial housing construction indicates favorable conditions for investment. More than 75% of housing is being built through private investment.
The main volume of housing construction falls on the regional center and cities, however, it is also necessary to carry out appropriate work in the districts.
Last year, within the framework of memoranda concluded between akimats and entrepreneurs, the construction and reconstruction of houses in rural areas was carried out. However, the potential of some regions has not been properly realized.
This year, this work needs to be continued and ensure growth compared to last year.
Financing of measures to ensure employment of the population increases annually. In 2024, 4.2 billion tenge is provided for these events, which is 5% more than last year (2023 – 4.0 billion tenge).
This year, it is planned to cover about 44 thousand people with employment measures in the region and create about 20 thousand new jobs through all programs, therefore, these measures must be kept under control and ensure their high-quality implementation.
The implementation of major investment projects contributes to the creation of new jobs.
So, this year a project for the construction of an iron foundry will be implemented, where about 500 jobs will be created. In addition, a plastic painting workshop is planned to be commissioned, which will create 100 new jobs.
Also this year, it is planned to launch 2 projects for the production of Honchi and Skoda cars, 250 new jobs will be created.
Regarding projects in rural areas, I would like to note that this year it is planned to build 10 dairy farms, more than 150 new jobs will be created.
In addition to providing employment measures and implementing investment projects, the state continues to create conditions for citizens to develop their own businesses.
The Auyl Amanaty program has been operating in the region for the second year. Last year, the financing of the program amounted to 1.6 billion tenge (279 loans were issued).
This year, we have provided 3.8 billion tenge for this program, which
is 2.4 times more than last year. It is planned to issue about 580 loans and create more than 600 jobs.
This program has shown its effectiveness. There are a lot of positive examples throughout the region, where citizens in rural areas were able to increase their incomes and open their own production.
