To achieve these targets, systemic measures will be implemented for targeted and proactive investment attraction. The priority sectors for attracting investments are the agro-industrial complex, tourism, infrastructure, mechanical engineering, pharmaceuticals, mining and metallurgy, petrochemicals, IT, education and other industries with a high level of added value.

Each program reflects the targeted industries and companies of a particular country, taking into account the specifics of the structure of its economy.

Minister of Agriculture Saparkhan Omarov noted that within five years in the agricultural sector it is planned to implement about 400 investment projects totaling 4.1 trillion tenge. This will make it possible to increase the volume of gross agricultural production by 1.3 times, and exports by 2 times by 2025.

At the same time, by 2023, the domestic market will be saturated with domestic products for the main socially significant food products.

Akim of the Karaganda region Zhenis Kassymbek reported that this year it is planned to attract at least 810 billion tenge of investments to the region in such industries as mechanical engineering, metallurgy and mining and metallurgy.

Chair of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms - Governor of the Astana International Financial Center Kairat Kelimbetov reported that the new algorithm for working with foreign and domestic investors provides for a detailed verification of the AIFC and NC Kazakh Invest JSC of all investment projects.
