Analysis and comparison of economic indicators of the regions of Kazakhstan

Within the framework of this study, an assessment of regional development was carried out. For this purpose, a number of key socio-economic indicators were used, which made it possible to determine the imbalance in the development of the regions. Based on a multidimensional comparative analysis, integrated indicators of regional development in numerical terms were obtained. The methodology of multidimensional comparative analysis is based on the analysis of ten indicators, which are united into three groups. These groups of indicators express three important characteristics of the development of any region: the financial and economic conditions of the region’s development; business development indicators; the social component of the development of society (the standard of living of the population in the region). The results of the study indicate a serious imbalance of regional development in Kazakhstan, as well as specific areas in which there is insufficient development by region. The practical significance of the study is expressed in the application of the findings to the development of management decisions both at the state level and at the local level. Especially if these decisions are aimed at eliminating or reducing imbalances in the regional development of Kazakhstan.
