About the Region

Copper deposits are located in the region, which is why the basis of the region's economy is metallurgy. The absence of large enterprises other than the mining and smelting plant hampers the development of the region.

The region has the potential to become the logistics center of Kazakhstan, as it links North and South, West and East. Raw materials and people can be transported more efficiently through the Zhezkazgan transit. But the infrastructure and roads do not allow this. The railway line "Zhezkazgan-Beineu" was built in the region, which connected China's railway communication with Europe and the countries of the Persian Gulf and for the export of products.
