Active efforts are underway in Turkistan Region to attract investments as part of the President’s directive. Since the beginning of the year, 888.5 billion tenge in investments have been attracted to the region, representing a 17.7% increase compared to the same period last year. The volume of direct foreign investments has reached $685 million, exceeding the annual plan by 1.5 times. This was announced by Darkhan Satybaldy, Akim of Turkistan Region, during a press conference at the Central Communications Service.
– To attract investments and exchange experiences, business trips for Turkistan entrepreneurs were organized to China, Russia, Australia, Uzbekistan, Qatar, and South Korea, where significant negotiations with major companies took place. As a result, six investment projects worth $910 million were launched with foreign capital. Additionally, in October, we hosted a meeting in Turkistan with representatives from 127 foreign companies, resulting in the signing of 35 memorandums worth 301 billion tenge, – noted Darkhan Satybaldy.
Following these agreements, work has begun to establish enterprises that will manufacture drones, video cameras, medical furniture, and household appliances. Projects are also underway to build an "Industrial Greenhouse Complex," a "Plant for Aluminum Products," a "Plant for Industrial Refrigerators," and a "Plant for the Production of Caustic Soda, PVC, Calcium Carbide, Lime, and Cement." Furthermore, factories for processing phosphorus ore and oil are being constructed.
