The “Economic Multiplier” series. Part 1. Why is Kazakhstan’s largest private business investing in Kostanay, and why was the investment forum held on a factory floor? We examine how the region is moving from a raw-material model towards a complex cross-sector system in which private capital accounts for 80% of investment and a single industrial initiative can trigger a chain reaction across related sectors.
The “Economic Multiplier” series. Part 2. The real effect of investment is measured not by the sum of individual projects, but by how they reinforce one another. How do the automotive industry, deep agricultural processing, wind generation and a dry port combine into a single economic cluster? We examine the structural shift in Kostanay Region, where growth in one sector creates reliable demand for the others.
The “Economic Multiplier” series. Part 3. A tonne of grain costs KZT 85,000, while products made through deep processing can be worth up to KZT 500,000. How is a traditionally agricultural region industrialising its rural economy? We show how robotic farms, bioethanol, freeze-drying and agricultural drones are building longer value chains and transforming the region’s core sector.

More than 70% of Kazakhstanis perceive China positively. This was told by the specialists of the Center for Applied Research "TALAP". They conducted a public opinion poll and analyzed the results in comparison with previous years' reports.
The purpose of the study is to calculate the perception index of China in Kazakhstan in 2023, analyse its dynamics since 2020, and identify the determining factors based on the public opinion survey.
The fourth material concludes the series on the development of the TALAP Center’s Expert Signal Radar. The infographic shows how expert data move from the initial corpus to signal nodes, the radar, cascades, and management interpretation.
