Analysis and assessment of sustainable competitiveness of regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan with weak economic potential

Abstract

 The article examines the analysis and assessment of sustainable competitiveness of a region with weak economic potential in the context of sustainable development of the Kyzylorda region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The stability of any administrative-territorial unit is characterized by its competitive advantages or economic potential, which are realized in the process of its development. The economic potential of a region is determined by the state of the ecological system, the wealth of the mineral resource base, the degree of development of processing industries, and so on.   Unfortunately, the assessment of the competitiveness of the territories of the Republic of Kazakhstan indicates that, having good potential advantages for increasing competitiveness, these regions are still in a "successful" range of development. There has long been a period when it is necessary to fully use the above resources to the fullest extent and effectively. A decrease in the competitiveness of a particular region of the country will directly have a negative impact on the socio - economic situation and well-being of the region's population. That is why the issues of ensuring and increasing the competitiveness of regions should be the primary tasks that need to be addressed in a timely and fast manner. Based on the assessment, taking into account the established methodological approaches to assessing the state of sustainable development of the regions, the weakest competitive advantages of the region are identified, which are directly interrelated with the sustainable state of the regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Ensuring the sustainable competitiveness of a region with weak economic potential is an important strategic task, occupies an important place and plays an important role in the national policy of any state. The analysis carried out in the scientific work revealed the most vulnerable places in the development of potential opportunities for ensuring economic growth and competitiveness of the territories of Kazakhstan.
