The Head of State in this year's Address instructed to approve the National Project on modernisation of the energy and utilities sectors.
We have sufficiently developed production of products for housing and communal services. There is potential and competences for the production of energy equipment. Undoubtedly, the modernisation of these sectors will increase the capacity of the market, thereby increasing the load of enterprises of the manufacturing sector and opening opportunities for localisation of new production," Meiram Prsembayev stressed.

The Chairman of the Union of Machine Builders of Kazakhstan touched upon the issue of increasing labour productivity.
It is possible to achieve higher productivity by 2029 through the use of robotic complexes in production, which clearly proves the experience of countries with developed economies. We propose to include the introduction of robotic complexes in the documents of the State Planning System, where it is necessary to clearly spell out the indicators of productivity growth, to provide support mechanisms from the state," Meiram Prsembayev summarised.
