На совещании у вице-премьера – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина обсудили составляющие роста ВВП страны за 5 месяцев этого года и возможности интенсификации динамики развития отраслей, дающих наибольший вклад в экономику. Промышленность остается основным драйвером экономического роста: по итогам 2024 года ее доля в ВВП составила 25,7%. За январь - май 2025 года отрасль выросла на 6,4%. Однако темпы снижаются – еще месяц назад прирост был 6,6%. Главная причина – замедление в обрабатывающей промышленности, несмотря на рост добычи. Снижение индекса промышленного производства фиксируется в трех регионах: Восточно-Казахстанской области (90,4%), Улытау (96,2%) и Костанайской (97,6%).Отставание от планов в обработке связано прежде всего с металлургией, которая занимает 40% в структуре обрабатывающей промышленности. На совещании также рассмотрели потенциал роста в других сегментах — машиностроении, пищевой, химической и нефтеперерабатывающей промышленности.Еще одна отрасль с активным темпом роста – строительство.  При росте в 15,4% за 5 месяцев объем работ составил 2 трлн тенге. Однако в двух регионах – Атырауской и Улытауской областях – фиксируется отставание. В Атырау (43,2% от плана)  темпы снизились из-за приостановки работ на заводе в рамках проекта ТШО, в Улытау (78,4%) – из-за сокращения строительства и ремонта объектов в горнодобывающей сфере.В секторе жилищного строительства стоит задача ввести в строй в этом году 19 млн квадратных метров жилья. За 5 месяцев уже введено в эксплуатацию 6 млн кв. м жилья, что на 5,7% выше января-мая 2024 года. «Наша цель – достичь 6% роста ВВП в этом году. Для этого все отрасли реального сектора должны работать в соответствии с установленными индикаторами. Необходимо оперативно устранять административные барьеры и разработать для каждой отрасли с замедлением темпов четкие помесячные планы, чтобы компании нарастили выпуск продукции», — отметил Серик Жумангарин.                                                                                           https://primeminister.kz/ru/news/ekonomicheskiy-shtab-kak-kazakhstan-sobiraetsya-dostich-6-rosta-vvp-30159 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1017743?lang=kk
