In accelerating the construction of new digital infrastructure, some key industries of new infrastructure will open up new room for growth. Baghdat Musin, Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan, said on December 19 that the country is currently formulating a new national plan to improve the quality of the network.

According to Musin, the new national plan aims to provide and improve the quality of broadband network services to remote areas and national roads. According to the plan, Kazakhstan's household broadband access rate will reach 100% in 2027, while the national 5G network coverage rate will reach 75%. On the economic front, the communications index will account for 2% of GDP. Mu Xin said: "Connecting more than 3,000 residential areas to fiber optic networks is one of the main tasks under the national planning framework. Together with the World Bank, we will provide special subsidies to subsidize the costs of small and medium-sized operators."
