ASTANA ( WNAM MONITORING): The Kazakh capital started implementing the project to create a second industrial park on an area of 409 hectares based on the Astana – New City special economic zone.
According to Khalel Akimzhanov, head of Astana’s investment and entrepreneurship development department, industrial park No. 1 is the country’s leader in the production volume, reported Kazinform on Jan. 16.
“Over the entire period of operation, the average load reached 83%, the production volume is 8.6 trillion tenge (US$16.2 billion). Also, industrial park No. 1 became the leader among all special economic zones in terms of tax deductions and export volume.
