Kazakhstan to form 5-6 big cities - economic centers

In an exclusive interview to KTK TV channel Mr. Akhmetov said: "The number of rural dwellers is declining from year to year. Over the last couple of years Kazakhstan has seen rise in labor productivity. More people are moving into towns and cities. The regional centers are developing, new enterprises and manufacturers are being created. This is a normal process."

In his words, Kazakhstan may form up to 5-6 megapolises that will be the main economic centers.
