Almaty achieved growth of key socio-economic indicators: A.Yessimov

According to him, the growth of all key social and economic indicators was achieved. "Firstly, the progressive economic development is provided by increasing the level of investment activity which defines the future of the city. 2.7% growth of this indicator was achieved for the first time in three years", the city Head noted.

Positive results were also achieved in the reorienting investments. "There was a perceptible shift towards investing the real sectors of the economy, in particular, industry, as long as earlier the major part of investments went into real estate operations. The gross investment rate to the industry increased 1.3 times", A.Yessimov said.

The large investments to the industrial development resulted in accelerated growth of industrial production which made 27% last year. According to the Mayor, the city has never reached such a level of industrial growth before.
