Pavlodar's 2025 boom: Record investment, jobs, and industrial growth
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has received a detailed report on the Pavlodar region’s socio-economic progress in 2025. The findings highlight strong growth across key sectors, including industry, agriculture, and public infrastructure. The region’s industrial output hit 4.1 trillion tenge last year, underlining its role as a major economic driver. Pavlodar alone produces 58% of Kazakhstan’s coal, 42% of its electricity, and 58% of its ferroalloys.
Investment surged by over 47%, with total inflows reaching approximately 1.3 trillion tenge. This boost has positioned Pavlodar among the country’s top regions for attracting capital. Infrastructure saw significant expansion, with two new urban schools, three rural schools, and 30 healthcare facilities completed. By the end of 2025, every rural resident gained access to clean drinking water. The region also created over 30,000 jobs, further strengthening its labour market. Agricultural performance improved as well, with production rising by 9.6% to 571.4 billion tenge.
The report confirms Pavlodar’s consistent growth in 2025, with advances in industry, infrastructure, and social services. The region’s increased investment and job creation reflect its expanding economic influence within Kazakhstan.
