GRP per capita grew by 35% in North Kazakhstan region

The akim of North Kazakhstan region Kumar Aksakalov summed up the results of the outgoing year and spoke about positive changes in the economy of the region at a briefing in the CCS.

As the head of the region noted, the pandemic has made changes not only in the usual way of life, but also affected the economy.

From the very first days, local authorities began to search for a delicate balance between the need to introduce restrictive measures and maintain the pace of economic development.

“It is thanks to this that we managed not only to provide positive dynamics, but to enter the trajectory of progressive development,” — Kumar Aksakalov said.

The results of 10 months show that in terms of the growth rates of indicators, the region is not only included in the group of leading regions, but also exceeds the national average values. All this creates the basis for further development of the region.

“By the end of this year, we plan to increase the GRP per capita to 2.7 million tenge. Thus, we will provide 35% growth over the past 4 years. For four years, the revised budget of the region has almost doubled, from 189 to 333 billion tenge,” — the akim of North Kazakhstan region added.

The economy of North Kazakhstan is being rebuilt from agrarian to agrarian-industrial. The main factories in the region are steadily loaded. The order book of the factories almost doubled, from 24 to 44 billion tenge.

After lengthy negotiations, ZIKSTO plant received an order of 46 billion tenge and will be loaded in the next 2 years.

The electronic industry is developing in North Kazakhstan. The plant named after Kirov has adjusted the assembly of computers. Today, the plant has produced 42 thousand computers, laptops and tablets, which are supplied to the regions of the country. More than 9 thousand laptops will be produced by the end of the year.

Thermal cars are assembled in the region. 62 such cars have already been manufactured. Given the high demand, a company started to increase its capacity to 1,200 railcars per year.

Next year, a plant for the production of agricultural machinery "CLAAS" and a plant for electrical products will be launched. The film faced plywood factory and the production of big bags are at the start-up stage.

Kumar Aksakalov also spoke about promising investment projects. A paper mill and a greenhouse complex for growing vegetables will appear in the northern region. A brick factory is under construction.

In general, the implementation of these projects contributes to the growth of investments, which since the beginning of the year have increased by 20%, up to 202 billion tenge.
