Dear residents of Kostanay!Dear fellow countrymen!I wholeheartedly congratulate you on June 4th – the Day of the State Symbols of the Republic of Kazakhstan!The State Flag, Emblem, and Anthem are the pillars of our Independence and symbols of the national spirit. There is a Kazakh proverb: "Those with one banner have common roots, those with one path have a shared burden." Representatives of various ethnic groups in our country live in peace and harmony under the blue banner of Kazakhstan. We are united by our blue passport, common goals, and unwavering faith in the constructive power of the reforms being implemented.One of the important historical steps on this path was the adoption of the new Constitution in the nationwide referendum on March 15. The Basic Law is a guarantee of the state's stability and a solid foundation for the unity of the people. The key values enshrined in the Constitution – human rights, law and order, social justice, and the principles of responsible citizenship – have today become the basis of state policy.Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted: "Our interests, our path, and our goal are one. This is the construction of a Just, Safe, and Clean Kazakhstan. If through the Constitution we ensure the supremacy of law and order, preserve and strengthen our unity, then we can conquer any heights."In the Kostanay region, large-scale transformations are also being implemented step by step, which is clearly confirmed by the pace of the region's development.The Head of State outlined a strategic task - to ensure annual economic growth of the country at a level of at least 6 percent. Over the past two years, we have consistently been fulfilling this instruction, demonstrating stable positive dynamics.Thus, in 2024, economic growth exceeded the set target of 6% and amounted to 8.3%. In 2025, with a planned target of 6.5%, growth reached 8.2%. The task for the current year is to ensure economic growth of no less than 6 percent and maintain positive momentum.Currently, the Kostanay region is the center of mechanical engineering in Kazakhstan. We produce 25% of the country's mechanical engineering output. And this share will continue to grow.New production facilities are being created. In 2022, there were 4 large mechanical engineering plants operating in the region. These are "SaryarkaAutoProm" LLP, "AgromashHolding KZ" JSC, "Machine-Building Plant MTZ-Kazakhstan" LLP, and "Kostanay Tractor Plant" LLP.Then, over the past three years, five more modern production facilities have appeared. These are a Kia automobile plant, a plant producing drive axles for heavy-duty vehicles, a plant producing engine blocks and cylinder heads for trucks, a plant producing springs for railway transport, and a plant for manufacturing auto components for passenger cars is preparing to launch.More than 3,000 jobs have been created.In the agro-industrial complex, 7 large dairy farms have been built, and another 5 are planned to open this year.Furthermore, the "S-Agro Borovskoe" LLP plant for producing dried mare's milk, the modern milling complex "Aruana-2010" LLP, the "KAIZEN" LLP legume processing factory, and the "MILH" LLP cheese production plant with a capacity of 10,000 tons have been launched.The construction of the "Confectionery Capital" factory is being completed. Thanks to this project, the region will become a major producer of confectionery products in the country.To develop transport logistics, the construction of the international transport and logistics complex "Tobyl" is underway in the regional center.Following the instruction of Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, construction has begun on the strategically important "Center - West" highway. Additionally, the road from Arkalyk will be fully repaired this year.To develop the southern districts of the region, the construction of an airport in Arkalyk is nearing completion. The facility will be commissioned within the next month and a half. Thus, direct flights will operate from Arkalyk to Kostanay, Astana, and Almaty.The social sphere remains a priority for the region, with special attention paid to rural development.Over the past period, more than 1,000 streets (1,074) in 305 rural settlements have been repaired, access roads to 185 villages have been improved, and 76 km of sidewalks have been laid. Asphalt pavement has been installed for the first time on 293 streets in 293 villages.Housing construction is actively developing. In 2025, 517.4 thousand sq. m of housing was commissioned in the region, providing housing for over 5,000 families.In recent years, new schools, kindergartens, healthcare and sports facilities have been opened in the region, and infrastructure in rural areas has been updated.Since 2022 alone, over 100 social facilities have been commissioned in the region. These include 10 schools for 6,000 students and 15 kindergartens for more than 2,000 children.Two schools for 1,200 students each will be built in Kostanay city in the "Tobol" microdistrict and the "Astana" microdistrict, with an estimated cost of 8.4 billion tenge each.In recent years, 39 healthcare and social facilities have been built, including FAPs (feldsher-midwife stations), outpatient clinics, and medical posts.
