Growth in the field of engineering stood at 22.8%, in the chemical industry - 23.4%, in food production - 13.8%, and in pharmaceuticals - 31%. The first deputy prime minister said that this shows that the structure of the economy is gradually changing from the production of raw materials to its processing. "The task now is to further strengthen this process. This year, it is planned to launch about 200 new factories with a total value of about 1.7 trillion tenge. The main direction in the industry is to rely on our production capabilities, not depending on imports. State support is given to projects that have the highest positive impact on the state's economy." Norlibek Neliyev said. The First Deputy Prime Minister noted that the Ministry of Industry and Construction approved the methodology for evaluating the production capacity balance. Now each new project is considered according to the market demand, the load of the production capacities of the existing plants and the availability of land resources. The results of such an assessment are taken into account when giving preferences and during further improvement of the state's support measures. "This makes it impossible to spend money in areas that provide real economic results and produce surplus products. Also, there is a new model of industrial clusters. This model is intended for the development of mutual cooperation of factories in the production of final products and the concentration of small and medium-sized businesses around large supporting factories. Norlibek Neliyev said.
