Akim of Turkestan region Nuralkhan Kusherov met with Reza Mahmudian, president of the Sorena Carpet company in the Islamic Republic of Iran. At the meeting with the head of a large company producing carpets and rugs, proposals were made and negotiations were held on strengthening bilateral cooperation, opening a carpet factory. The head of the region noted that favorable conditions have been created for investors in the Turkestan region.- I would like to note that the development of bilateral cooperation between the Turkestan region and the Islamic Republic of Iran is very important. On the basis of cooperation between Kazakhstan and Iran, there is an opportunity to develop cooperation in the trade, economic, industrial and scientific directions. The project you are proposing is of great importance. Last year, Kazakhstani enterprises produced 5.1 million square meters of carpet products. However, we cannot call it large-scale. Carpets are mainly supplied to the region from Turkey, Russia and China. More than 75% of the country's domestic market needs for carpet products are imported. Therefore, it would be profitable to open a carpet factory in the region. As for the joint agreement, we are ready to provide support, - said Nuralkhan Kusherov.The Iranian investor presented the potential of the company and outlined its plans. He said that he intends to implement one of his projects in the Turkestan region. Negotiations in this direction will continue.Press service of the akim of the Turkestan regionSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ontustik/press/news/details/930499

The main share in housing construction belongs to private developers (80%). The mechanism for purchasing ready-made apartments has allowed to significantly increase the number of residents provided with housing compared to the last three years. Listening to the report of the Department of Economy and Budget Planning, the head of the region noted that the reported data do not fully reflect the real situation. “As the Head of State noted at the enlarged Government meeting, the effectiveness of our work is assessed, first of all, by the development of the economy and improving the quality of life of the population. Limiting ourselves only to reported indicators will not ensure economic growth. Statistical figures are necessary, but they should not be the main criterion for the work of state bodies. We want to see in the reports an accurate picture of the real situation, an increase in the well-being of the population. Therefore, other assessment criteria are needed that would stimulate real growth in the economy and production efficiency,” the regional akim said. The head of the Akmola regional finance department, Talgat Boltenov, made a report on the implementation of the revenue and expenditure parts of the past year. Another important issue discussed at the meeting was preparation for spring floods. The acting head of the Akmola regional emergency department, Colonel B. Alashov, made a report on measures to reduce and prevent the risk of floods in the region. To date, the following work has been carried out in 179 settlements: * 64.5 km of drainage canals have been dug, * 38 km of river channels have been cleaned, * 35 km of drainage canals have been expanded and deepened. The head of the regional department of nature management and natural resources, Janet Mikishev, also made a report provided information on the ongoing work on the inspection and modernization of hydraulic structures. Currently, 6 projects are being implemented, including the construction, modernization and restoration of hydraulic structures, cleaning and deepening of river channels. The regional akim listened to the report of the district akims and instructed to strictly monitor the implementation of measures to combat spring floods.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola/press/news/details/931142

In 2024, one violation was made for untimely loan repayment due to the lack of funds in the tariff estimate.
