It is noted that this rate is 0.2 percentage points higher than in the first five months and is the highest GDP growth rate in the last 14 years. For the same period last year, growth was 3.2%.
It has become known that the largest contributions to growth were made by the real sector of the economy (+8%), the services sector (+5.2%), as well as the transport (+22.7%) and construction (+18.4%) industries.
Earlier, it will be recalled, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev took part in the launch ceremony of a supercomputer based on NVIDIA H200 graphics processors at the Alemcloud National Supercomputer Centre. The event took place in the new data centre of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry (MDDIAI).
It is expected that its use will accelerate large-scale digitalisation and transparency, including in addressing many economic issues.
