Most of the projects were in the East Kazakhstan region (200), Zhambyl region
(197), and Aktobe region (194), although it provided the largest amount of loans in
Astana city (KZT7.84 bln), the Kostanay region (KZT7.81 bln), and the Almaty region
(KZT7.2 bln). The fund signed 60% of all agreements with individual entrepreneurs.
Meanwhile, most of the guaranteed projects were in the manufacturing industry (851),
the provision of other types of services (582), and the transport and stock-keeping sector
(941).
The reason that Almaty and Astana are receiving more support is that, at the end of
2016, the South Kazakhstan and Almaty regions, by tradition, as well as the cities of
Almaty and Astana, maintained the lead in the number of operating SMEs. Together,
these regions account for 47% of all the SMEs in the country. The lowest number of
operating SMEs are in the North Kazakhstan, Kyzylorda, and West Kazakhstan regions
(Damu 2017).
