Over 50 international companies have moved from Russia to Kazakhstan, President of the republic Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said on Wednesday at a public meeting in the Almaty region.
"Currently, more than 50 international companies from Russia have relocated to Kazakhstan. It is unproductive to concentrate them all in large cities. The akimat (administration - TASS) needs to work out the placement of such productions near Almaty along the perimeter of the Big Almaty ring road, which will considerably help the economy of the region. Discuss this issue with the government and companies," he said.
According to him, the regional center should become a "counter-magnet" in relation to Almaty. "We must create all conditions for investors to open new production facilities, including those relocating from other countries. This issue should be worked out already now for the purpose of unobstructed and uninterrupted exchange of goods with foreign partners," said the head of state, as quoted by his press service.
