The government has set purchase prices for grain for the 2026 harvest. For grade 3 wheat, they will range from 92,000 to 115,000 tenge per ton, depending on quality. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin announced this at a meeting with farmers in Arkalyk, Kostanay Region."Taking into account market conditions and proposals from market participants, the government has set purchase prices for grain for the 2026 harvest. Specifically, prices for grade 3 wheat are planned to range from 92,000 to 115,000 tenge, depending on quality. Therefore, the price remains at last year's level," said Serik Zhumangarin.The Food Corporation's purchase prices serve as a benchmark for the market. Financial support for farmers is provided through forward and direct grain purchase mechanisms, allowing agricultural producers to cover production costs and prepare for the next season.Another support measure will be a VAT refund for grain traders. The corresponding decision was made at a meeting of the Project Office for the Implementation of the Tax Code. Agricultural exporters will not be subject to any adjustments to the VAT amount claimed as a credit. The validity of VAT refund claims will be confirmed by a tax audit using the so-called "pyramid method," which allows for tracing the entire chain of goods and tax payments—from the agricultural producer to the exporter. If the audit results are positive, the exporter will be eligible for a full refund of previously paid VAT.Serik Zhumangarin also announced that the state program for compensating expenses for grain exporters will be extended through the 2026-2027 marketing year.Subsidizing grain shippers' transportation costs in previous years has allowed for the expansion of Kazakhstan's grain supply geography. In addition to traditional markets, Kazakhstan's wheat was purchased for the first time by Belgium, Poland, Portugal, Norway, the United Kingdom, and North African countries such as Morocco, Algeria, and Egypt. The Food Corporation also piloted grain shipments to Vietnam via a multimodal route through China.The implementation of these measures has helped stabilize grain prices and reduce the risk of dumping. Related industries such as logistics, processing, mechanical engineering, and services have also benefited.A separate section of the meeting was devoted to the development of livestock farming. There are currently 1,132 farms operating in three southern regions of the Kostanay region—Arkalyk, Amangeldy, and Dzhangeldy districts. The total sown area is 581,100 hectares, including 501,400 hectares under grain and 65,900 hectares under oilseeds. Over the past three years, the area under oilseed crops has increased by 1.3 times. Safflower is the main crop, accounting for 51,200 hectares, or 47% of the total area under this crop in the region.Farmers raised questions about the implementation of the "Zhailau" program, which was originally initiated by Kostanay region. Specifically, they discussed the requirements for mandatory pasture irrigation and the construction of livestock facilities. Farms in the southern regions are predominantly located in river and lake floodplains, where natural water sources are available, and many farmers already have the necessary livestock infrastructure. Therefore, it was proposed to allow for the inclusion of existing facilities when implementing the program requirements.Livestock breeders also proposed revising the maximum price for purebred cattle under preferential lending, as they estimate that the prices set by the program are below market prices.Serik Zhumangarin instructed the Ministry of Agriculture to develop the necessary amendments to existing documents and to develop a price guide for purebred cattle.Zhenibek Kenjebaev, Director of Zengi Group LLC, presented plans to establish a genetic center for embryo production in Arkalyk. Investments have already been secured for the project."This project is our chance to increase the number of purebred cattle in Kazakhstan to develop livestock breeding. By using embryos, we will be able to produce purebred cattle. At the same time, we are working on creating a logistics hub for livestock transportation in Arkalyk. We plan to professionalize the production and sale of purebred cattle," noted Zhanibek Kenzhebayev.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1301951?lang=ru

The UAPF is the single operator of Kazakhstan’s funded pension system, ensuring the reliability and transparency of pension savings. Its primary mission is to accumulate citizens' pension savings and ensure their future disbursement. The Fund continues to expand its remote services, enabling Kazakhstanis to perform most essential transactions without visiting an office. The 24/7 availability of services via the website and mobile app is a key factor driving increased interest among contributors.Between January 1, 2026, and August 31, 2026, the Fund provided 36.2 million services to the public. Of this total, 24.0 million were delivered electronically, and 11.4 million were processed automatically. Consequently, automated, electronic, and remote services accounted for 98.6% of the total volume. Despite the high level of digitalization, the Fund’s specialists continue to provide in-person service at regional branches. However, the share of in-person office visits remains minimal given the convenience of mobile and web-based resources. Specifically, 516.7 thousand services were provided in person, with 504.3 thousand of these taking place directly at the Fund’s offices.It is worth noting that all pension accounts are opened automatically with the UAPF upon receipt of the first contribution.

The UAPF reminds the public that accessing account information via the personal account area is the most convenient, reliable, and prompt way to monitor pension savings. The service operates online 24/7, allowing users to obtain up-to-date information at any time and from anywhere in the world. Account status information is available not only through the UAPF mobile app and the personal account area on the UAPF website but also via the egov.kz portal or the e-government mobile app. This offers added convenience for users who prefer interacting with government services through unified platforms. The UAPF notes that, starting in 2025, the annual automatic mailing of account statements has been discontinued. However, it is still possible to receive information on pension savings status by mail upon submitting a formal request to the UAPF. In addition to obtaining account statements via their personal accounts on the website and mobile app, contributors (beneficiaries) can access various services. These include updating or amending their account details, obtaining certificates of account ownership, and submitting applications for pension benefits—whether due to a permanent Group 1 or 2 disability or upon reaching the age of fifty (funded by voluntary pension contributions). Users can also track pension benefit application statuses, transfer a portion of their pension savings to an Investment Portfolio Manager (IPM), and project their future pension using the pension calculator, among other features. During the reporting period, 88,800 applications were received from contributors to transfer a portion of their pension savings to IPM trust management, with the majority submitted electronically.The UAPF reminds the public that invest.enpf.kz—a unified online platform for the investment management of citizens' pension assets—consolidates key information about Investment Portfolio Managers (IPMs) into a single digital space, ensuring a systematic approach to data disclosure regarding investment activities. The invest.enpf.kz portal offers users information in both Kazakh and Russian regarding the pension savings system, securities, investment strategies (and criteria), key concepts, and the allocation structure of pension assets. It also provides financial performance metrics for each IPM, data on their compliance with regulatory requirements, and other details that enable contributors to build a comprehensive profile of an IPM and its investment activities.When contacting UAPF specialists for specific services, contributors typically receive additional consultation and advice on building their savings.

Искусственный интеллект меняет содержание профессий, рабочие процессы и требования работодателей к специалистам. В Казахстане эти изменения учитываются при подготовке кадров и развитии государственной системы занятости.В Послании народу страны «Казахстан в эпоху искусственного интеллекта: актуальные задачи и их решения через цифровую трансформацию» Глава государства отметил рост спроса на специалистов, владеющих цифровыми технологиями и навыками работы с ИИ. 2026 год объявлен Годом цифровизации и искусственного интеллекта.Министерство труда и социальной защиты населения РК адаптирует систему занятости к новым требованиям рынка труда, делая акцент на цифровых компетенциях, переобучении и более точном подборе работы.Как меняются профессииИИ позволяет автоматизировать прежде всего рутинные операции – обработку и набор текстов, ввод данных, корректуру и другие типовые задачи. При этом во многих профессиях речь идет не об исчезновении рабочих мест, а об изменении содержания труда и необходимых навыков.ИИ становится рабочим инструментом для бухгалтеров, инженеров, врачей, учителей, специалистов по продажам и представителей других сфер. Одновременно появляются новые направления деятельности и требования к квалификации работников.По оценкам Министерства, до 2035 года экономике Казахстана потребуется 2,9 млн новых работников. Поэтому при подготовке кадров необходимо учитывать навыки, которые будут востребованы на меняющемся рынке труда.Цифровые навыки – часть подготовки кадровДо конца 2026 года профессиональными стандартами планируется охватить более 600 рабочих профессий. В них включается блок цифровых компетенций: применение инструментов ИИ, работа с данными и BI-аналитикой, основы кибербезопасности.На эти стандарты будут опираться образовательные программы колледжей и вузов, а также программы переобучения, что позволит учитывать актуальные требования работодателей при подготовке специалистов.ИИ будет помогать искать работуОдним из ключевых направлений цифровой трансформации станет создание Цифровой службы занятости на основе искусственного интеллекта.Система будет формировать цифровой профиль гражданина с учетом образования, опыта и навыков.

В Алматинской области продолжается информационно-разъяснительная работа о значении посмертного донорства органов и трансплантологии. В регионе в последние годы систематизируется работа по организации донорских процессов и медицинской координации.В 2025 году в Алматинской области было организовано два донорских процесса, а 16 января 2026 года — третий. Во всех трех случаях смерть мозга была подтверждена решением медицинского консилиума, после чего в соответствии с действующим законодательством были проведены необходимые медицинские и организационные процедуры.В результате трех донорских процессов для трансплантации были изъяты 6 почек, 3 сердца, 3 легких, 2 печени и 4 роговицы и доставлены в соответствующие трансплантационные центры страны.Стоит отметить, что в рамках первого донорского процесса в 2025 году впервые с 2020 года был осуществлен забор роговиц. Это свидетельствует о возобновлении в регионе не только донорства органов, но и тканевого донорства.В настоящее время в Алматинской области 290 пациентов ожидают трансплантацию. Из них 239 пациентам необходима пересадка почки, 28 — печени, 22 — сердца и 1 пациенту — легкого.Донорский процесс является сложным и ответственным мероприятием, требующим слаженной работы нескольких медицинских организаций и специалистов. При выявлении потенциального донора проводятся необходимые медицинские обследования, после чего смерть мозга подтверждается в установленном порядке. Далее выполняются все предусмотренные законодательством процедуры, связанные с донорством.«Донорство — это процесс, основанный на ценности человеческой жизни и требующий высокой ответственности. Возможность после смерти одного человека дать другим людям шанс на жизнь — большая ответственность для медицинского сообщества. Наша задача — обеспечить проведение донорского процесса в строгом соответствии со всеми медицинскими и законодательными требованиями, а также правильно информировать население о его значении», — отмечает региональный координатор по трансплантологии Алматинской области Тоеке Акерке Турсунбаевна.Донорство — это проявление гуманности и ответственности, которое позволяет продолжить жизнь других людей даже после завершения жизни одного человека.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almobl-densaulyk/press/news/details/1301800?lang=ru

The UAPF is the single operator of Kazakhstan’s funded pension system, ensuring the reliability and transparency of pension savings. Its primary mission is to accumulate citizens' pension savings and ensure their future disbursement. The Fund continues to expand its remote services, enabling Kazakhstanis to perform most essential transactions without visiting an office. The 24/7 availability of services via the website and mobile app is a key factor driving increased interest among contributors.Between January 1, 2026, and August 31, 2026, the Fund provided 36.2 million services to the public. Of this total, 24.0 million were delivered electronically, and 11.4 million were processed automatically. Consequently, automated, electronic, and remote services accounted for 98.6% of the total volume. Despite the high level of digitalization, the Fund’s specialists continue to provide in-person service at regional branches. However, the share of in-person office visits remains minimal given the convenience of mobile and web-based resources. Specifically, 516.7 thousand services were provided in person, with 504.3 thousand of these taking place directly at the Fund’s offices.It is worth noting that all pension accounts are opened automatically with the UAPF upon receipt of the first contribution. Similarly, targeted allocations are automatically credited to citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan under the age of 18, and targeted savings accounts (TSA) are opened to track and disburse these funds to eligible recipients upon adulthood under the "National Fund for Children" program.During the reporting period, the total number of accounts opened automatically—including Individual Pension Savings Accounts (IPSA) for various types of individual pension contributions, Notional Pension Savings Accounts (NPSA) for tracking employer’s compulsory pension contributions (ECPC) funded by the employer, and Targeted Savings Accounts (TSA) opened to record and disburse targeted savings to recipients under the "National Fund for Children" program—exceeded 1.3 million.Obtaining account statements for IPSAs, NPSAs, and TSAs remains the most popular service. Since the beginning of the year, 25.0 million statements have been issued across all account types; of these, 22.4 million were provided electronically, and 2.3 million were generated automatically. The UAPF reminds the public that accessing account information via the personal account area is the most convenient, reliable, and prompt way to monitor pension savings. The service operates online 24/7, allowing users to obtain up-to-date information at any time and from anywhere in the world. Account status information is available not only through the UAPF mobile app and the personal account area on the UAPF website but also via the egov.kz portal or the e-government mobile app. This offers added convenience for users who prefer interacting with government services through unified platforms. The UAPF notes that, starting in 2025, the annual automatic mailing of account statements has been discontinued. However, it is still possible to receive information on pension savings status by mail upon submitting a formal request to the UAPF. In addition to obtaining account statements via their personal accounts on the website and mobile app, contributors (beneficiaries) can access various services. These include updating or amending their account details, obtaining certificates of account ownership, and submitting applications for pension benefits—whether due to a permanent Group 1 or 2 disability or upon reaching the age of fifty (funded by voluntary pension contributions). Users can also track pension benefit application statuses, transfer a portion of their pension savings to an Investment Portfolio Manager (IPM), and project their future pension using the pension calculator, among other features. During the reporting period, 88,800 applications were received from contributors to transfer a portion of their pension savings to IPM trust management, with the majority submitted electronically.The UAPF reminds the public that invest.enpf.kz—a unified online platform for the investment management of citizens' pension assets—consolidates key information about Investment Portfolio Managers (IPMs) into a single digital space, ensuring a systematic approach to data disclosure regarding investment activities. The invest.enpf.kz portal offers users information in both Kazakh and Russian regarding the pension savings system, securities, investment strategies (and criteria), key concepts, and the allocation structure of pension assets. It also provides financial performance metrics for each IPM, data on their compliance with regulatory requirements, and other details that enable contributors to build a comprehensive profile of an IPM and its investment activities.When contacting UAPF specialists for specific services, contributors typically receive additional consultation and advice on building their savings. As part of its public outreach and awareness-raising efforts, the UAPF conducted 39,700 on-site presentations, attended by a total of 783,400 people. A total of 27,500 media items were published based on UAPF announcements.The Fund received 283,000 inquiries from contributors and beneficiaries via various communication channels (call center, website consultations, instant messaging apps, social media, and other channels).As a reminder, any company can request an on-site presentation and consultation regarding the funded pension system; to do so, simply call the call center at 1418 or contact the Fund via its website or mobile app.UAPF consultation services are available via instant messaging apps (WhatsApp and Viber chatbots at +7 777 000 14 18), the call center at 1418 (toll-free within Kazakhstan), the corporate website enpf.kz, and official UAPF social media pages on Instagram, Facebook, VKontakte, Telegram, and Odnoklassniki.   UAPF was founded on August 22, 2013 on the basis of GNPF APF JSC. The founder and shareholder of the UAPF is the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan represented by the State Institution Committee of State Property and Privatization of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
