The Ministry of National Economy of the RK has presented a draft Government Resolution, which includes the Concept of Regional Policy for 2025-2030. The document defines the key directions for the country's regional development, aimed at achieving balanced territorial growth and enhancing the quality of life for citizens.Regional development takes into account their specific features: large cities form economic growth centers, while small towns and rural territories require additional measures to improve infrastructure and create jobs. Access to quality education, healthcare, and transport varies across regions, which creates an additional burden on local budgets and requires support from republican funds.The draft Concept is aimed at stimulating the even development of infrastructure, supporting small and medium-sized businesses, raising the standard of living in the regions, and reducing the income gap between urban and rural areas. It is planned to modernize utility networks, roads, schools, and hospitals, as well as develop non-resource industries, attract investments, and delegate more powers to local authorities. An important place in the strategy is allocated to environmental issues, including increasing green areas in cities and improving water and air quality.By 2030, a significant improvement in access to clean water, modernization of the road network, construction of new schools and hospitals is planned. The share of small business in the economy should grow to 45%, and the quality of life in small towns and rural areas will significantly improve.The project envisages the development of regions taking into account their specific features and economic specialization, including the development of industry, agriculture, and the processing industry.The Concept was developed by the Ministry of National Economy jointly with interested state bodies and published on the «Open legal acts» portal.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/959778?lang=kk
