"We provide our local enterprises with orders, which allow them to work at full capacity. They will expand production, creating new production lines, increasing tax revenues to the city's budget, as well as increasing investment in the manufacturing industry of the region," said Ganibet Aubakirov, deputy head of the Enterprise and Industrial Innovation Development Department of Almaty region, Kazakh media outlets reported.
The official noted that the manufacturing industry’s production in the region increased from 250 billion tenge to 809 billion tenge since 2009, when the first "State Order" action was issued.
