According to the Address of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev dated September 8, 2025, social and entrepreneurial corporations should be the driving force ensuring the economic growth of the regions. The fact that the share of small and medium-sized businesses in regional output has reached 57.5% is an important indicator of the sustainable development of the region's economy.

In January-April 2025, the number of citizens employed in small and medium-sized businesses in Shymkent increased by 10.3% compared to the same period last year. The volume of output during this period amounted to 865.5 billion tenge, an increase of 23.9% compared to the same period last year. The share of small and medium-sized businesses in the total regional product reached 57.5%.

Currently, 3 projects are being implemented in our city as part of the program for the development of small industrial zones. According to the plan, more than 150 small enterprises will be opened and about 500 new jobs will be created.

In order to increase the city's production potential, the "Zhuldyz" and "Bozaryk" industrial zones were added to the existing 5 industrial sites ("Ontustik" special economic zone, "Ontustik" industrial zone, "Tassai" industrial zone, "Trade and Logistics Center" industrial zone, "Ordabasy" private industrial zone) with an additional area of 438 hectares, bringing the city to 7 industrial sites in total.

Over 26,000 new jobs worth 4.9 trillion tenge will be created through 212 projects implemented in the city between 2025 and 2030. The projects will be implemented not only with the participation of local but also foreign investors. Major projects include modern greenhouse complexes of the companies "Alsera KZ" and "Fabe Agro" with the participation of Turkish capital, alkylate and polypropylene production of the domestic "Intertrans" LLP, and waste-to-energy projects of the Chinese "Shaanxi Construction Kazakhstan" LLP.
