Mining and metallurgical complex of Kazakhstan: current state and development prospects

The mineral resource complex currently remains in the long term the dominant real sector of the Kazakhstan economy. Practice shows that the mining and metallurgical complex (MMC) has large unused reserves of economic growth, in particular due to: increasing the completeness and complexity of the use of extracted mineral raw materials; introduction of innovative resource-saving and environmentally balanced technologies at all stages of industrial production with a stable and even with some reduction in the volume of extraction of mineral raw materials. The article pays special attention to assessing the state and development of the lead-zinc and copper industries, as the main leaders of the MMC in Kazakhstan. The characteristic and development tasks of the main economic entities of the MMC: mining enterprises, concentration plants, metallurgical plants are presented. The role and results of state support for innovative development of these enterprises are reflected. The development of MMC is significantly influenced by competition in the global market of mining and metallurgical products. However, mining and metallurgical enterprises in Kazakhstan manage to maintain positive dynamics of industrial production. The widespread use of digital technology will significantly increase the efficiency of production processes. It is proposed to develop state support measures at the MMC. The solution of such issues as the formation of demand for advanced technical and technological solutions, the development of our own R&D, the transfer of international best practices, the growth of energy efficiency and environmental friendliness can significantly increase the efficiency of developing the resource base and unleash the country's innovative potential. Moreover, resource sectors themselves can become suppliers of high technology for other economic sectors.
