After 1995, enterprises of the former district association of agricultural machinery, a brick factory, a household needs compensation plant, etc. were privatized.

There was a fish and brick factory, which is currently closed. Most residents of the city are Kazakhs. Dozens of Russian Old Believer families also live.
