Zhambyl Region enters 2026 as one of the key drivers of the country’s chemical and mining and metallurgical industries. The region offers investors not just sites, but a ready-made ecosystem for launching high-value-added production.

Key opportunities:

  • Jibek Joly SEZ: A unique zone with a special customs and tax regime. In 2026, flagship projects for the production of chemical components, including hydrochloric acid and liquid ammonia, will be launched here, creating a foundation for related industries.
  • Raw materials base: The region holds leading positions in phosphate reserves (90% of Kazakhstan’s total reserves), fluorspar, and gold. This opens up opportunities for the creation of deep processing clusters.
  • Industrial zones: Sites fully equipped with engineering infrastructure can reduce plant startup times by $30\text{–}40\%$.

Support measures:

  1. In-kind grants: Provision of land plots and buildings for free ownership (subject to compliance with the terms of the investment contract).
  2. Tax preferences: Exemption from corporate income tax, land tax, and property tax for up to 10 years.
