According to the minister, over the years of the implementation of the program, manufacturing enterprises produced products worth 43 trillion tenge. According to the results of 2018, labor productivity in the industry reached $35.3 / person. The inflow of investment in fixed assets to the industry over this period amounted to more than 4.5 trillion tenge.

Kazakhstani enterprises exported manufacturing products (from 2015 to 10 months of 2019) worth $ 70 billion. Since 2015, more than 500 new industrial projects of the Industrialization Card have been introduced with an investment volume of about 5 trillion tenge. The program brought the development of the main manufacturing sectors to a new level,” Atamkulov said.

So, in metallurgy the volume of production output was increased 2.2 times. As a result, new export-oriented goods have appeared in the industry — these are aluminum profiles, automobile rims, ferrosilicon.

During the second five-year period of industrialization in mechanical engineering, the volume of production increased by 1.2 times. The share of the automotive industry in mechanical engineering increased to 26%. New types of products were mastered in the industry: such as information and communication equipment, modems, screw pumps, lighting devices and electrical distribution equipment, central air conditioners. The production of export-oriented refrigerated wagons has been launched.

Kazakhstan was the first in Central Asia to master the production of heavy duty transformers with a capacity of up to 500 megawatts. The chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, and light industry are developing steadily.

Industrialization allows you to develop competencies, produce products with high added value, and makes the country's economy more stable. We were able to systematically overcome all external economic shocks and outline a new path for the development of the country. Two stages of industrialization are behind. Taking into account mistakes and accumulated experience, we will continue the chosen course focused on increasing labor productivity and entering foreign markets,” the minister said.

The implementation of the Third Five-Year Plan for Industrialization starts in 2020, where the main priority is the development of industrial entrepreneurship, aimed at expanding the range of exports of high-tech products, as well as introducing digital technologies and innovations in production that contribute to the growth of labor productivity.

The main approaches of the program are identified.

  • First, the emphasis is on efficient manufacturing sector enterprises focused on saturating the domestic market with quality products and exporting.
  • Second, the transition from disparate instruments of state support to a system of comprehensive development stimulation.
  • Third, the adoption of counter obligations and responsibilities by the business.
  • Fourth, the transition from an industry principle to the identification of specific priority goods.
  • Fifth, emphasis on proactive integration into global value chains.

As Atamkulov emphasized, for this purpose a corresponding analysis of the potential of domestic goods is carried out. After which it is planned to attract TNCs to Kazakhstan pointwise.

Implementation of the Program will allow achieving the following results in the manufacturing industry:

  • real growth in labor productivity up to $56 thousand per person;
  • export growth to $30 billion in 2025;
