Новый механизм привлечения инвестиций запустят в Казахстане 19.11.2025
На заседании Правительства под председательством Премьер-министра Олжаса Бектенова рассмотрен проект Программы совместных действий Правительства, Национального Банка и АРРФР по макроэкономической стабилизации и повышению благосостояния населения на 2026–2028 годы. О ключевых направлениях нового документа доложил заместитель Премьер-министра – министр национальной экономики Серик Жумангарин.Приоритетом Программы определено повышение реальных доходов населения за счет качественного роста экономики и снижения инфляции.По итогам 10 месяцев текущего года экономика Казахстана демонстрирует рост на уровне 6,4%. Драйверами развития выступают реальный сектор (+8,2%), транспорт (+20,7%), строительство (+15,1%) и автомобилестроение (+13,3%). В планах на 2026–2028 годы – удерживать рост ВВП на уровне не ниже 5% ежегодно.В 2026–2028 годах Правительство планирует обеспечить рост экономики на уровне не ниже 5% в год. При этом меняется подход к оценке развития: внедряется декомпозиция роста по потенциальному ВВП.«Правительство будет таргетировать не просто рост в отраслях, а учитывать вклад фундаментальных факторов: человеческого капитала, технологий и производительности труда. Приоритетом станет наращивание долгосрочной производственной способности. Это приведет к постепенному устранению разрыва между ростом ВВП и ростом заработной платы», — отметил Серик Жумангарин.Для запуска нового инвестиционного цикла внедряется принцип «заказ на инвестиции» и запускается Национальная цифровая инвестиционная платформа. Для приоритетных проектов стоимостью свыше 29,5 млрд тенге будут заключаться соглашения, гарантирующие стабильность законодательства в течение 25 лет.Ключевая роль отводится Холдингу «Байтерек», который трансформируется в Инвестиционный холдинг страны. Он сосредоточится на 15–20 системообразующих проектах. В портфеле на 2026 год приоритеты распределены следующим образом:42% – химическая и нефтегазохимическая промышленность;19,6% – транспорт и логистика;12,1% – энергетика.Для реализации этих задач в 2026–2028 годах Холдингу будет выделено до 1 трлн тенге.Для стимулирования роста инвестиций будут приняты системные меры по запуску нового инвестиционного цикла. Планируется задействовать национальную цифровую инвестиционную платформу, которая упрощает процесс инвестирования и обеспечивает прозрачность на всех этапах реализации проектов.Также внедряется новый подход, в основе которого заложен принцип «заказ на инвестиции». В приоритетных отраслях для инвестиционных проектов стоимостью свыше 29,5 млрд тенге будут заключаться соглашения об инвестициях, гарантирующие стабильность законодательства в течение 25 лет. Для привлечения иностранных инвестиций также будет использован потенциал МФЦА. В разработку и реализацию проектов ГЧП особой значимости будут привлекаться МФО. В результате доля инвестиций в основной капитал в 2028 году увеличится до 21 % к ВВП.Для укрепления устойчивости госфинансов будет проводиться контрцикличная фискальная политика. Дефицит бюджета планируется сократить к 2028 году до 0,9% к ВВП, а госдолг удерживать на уровне не выше 26%. Правительство сохранит статус внешнего нетто-кредитора.В рамках антиинфляционных мер особое внимание уделят регулированию электронной торговли.Будут приняты меры по раскрытию информации о комиссиях на маркетплейсах.Внедряется практика «двойных цен»: дифференциация стоимости товара при оплате в рассрочку и без нее.Серик Жумангарин озвучил решения по тарифной политике. Вице-премьер объявил о приостановке повышения коммунальных тарифов для всех групп потребителей до конца 1 квартала 2026 года.В этот период будет проведена ревизия исполнения монополистами инвестиционных обязательств. В дальнейшем, в 2026–2028 годах, на модернизацию 30 тыс. км инженерных сетей планируется привлечь порядка 3 трлн тенге.Продолжится работа по оптимизации квазигоссектора. До конца 2026 года действует мораторий на создание новых госкомпаний. Сформирован перечень из 500 объектов (стоимостью более 2 трлн тенге) для передачи в конкурентную среду. Планируется вывод на IPO/SPO акций АО «Казахтелеком» и «Qazaq Green Power PLC».В социальной сфере акцент сделан на адресности поддержки и цифровизации выплат.«В 2027–2028 годах будет рассмотрен вопрос повышения минимальной заработной платы. В целом реализация Программы позволит обеспечить рост реальных доходов населения в среднем не ниже 2–3% в год», — подчеркнул вице-премьер.https://primeminister.kz/ru/news/programmu-po-makroekonomiceskoi-stabilizacii-i-povyseniiu-blagosostoianiia-do-2028-goda-predstavili-v-pravitelstve-30734 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1108437?lang=kk

Exploring Kazakhstan’s Silk Road Legacy: Nick Fielding’s Lecture Enthrals London Audience 19.11.2025
London’s Army and Navy Club – one of the United Kingdom’s most prestigious private members’ clubs, founded in 1837 – hosted British author and traveller Nick Fielding last week for Younghusband Lecture.Speaking to members of the Club’s Adventure Circle, Fielding delivered an insightful and visually engaging presentation entitled “Kazakhstan: Exploring the Northern Silk Road”, inspired by his recent expedition along a route that took him from Almaty to the Aral Sea in Kazakhstan.Veteran traveller Fielding particularly emphasized Kazakhstan’s strategic position along this northern Silk Road, weaving together historical insight and cultural commentary that brought to life both the grandeur of the country’s ancient past and its vast, still largely untapped tourism potential. As he noted, for centuries the Silk Road has inspired travellers and writers – not as a single road, but as a vast network of routes spanning the deserts, mountains, and steppe of Central Asia.Fielding highlighted the once-powerful cities of Otyrar, Sauran, Syganak, and Zhankala, as well as the historic and still imposing city of Turkistan, that can be found along this route. Once bustling centres of trade, culture, and diplomacy, these great cities played a central role in connecting civilizations between East and West.Having spent more than 15 years exploring Kazakhstan’s diverse landscapes – particularly in the east and southeast – Fielding shared his growing appreciation for the strategic and historical significance of the northern corridor, describing it as one of the Silk Road’s most important, yet most overlooked routes.The event drew an engaged audience of explorers, historians and adventure enthusiasts. Representatives of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in the United Kingdom were also in attendance, presenting cultural books and souvenirs, and engaging visitors in lively discussions about Kazakhstan’s heritage and modern identity.The Embassy further enriched the evening with an exhibition of ancient maps and manuscripts related to Kazakhstan’s statehood, alongside a visual display showcasing the country’s landscapes and archaeological treasures. Bauyrzhan Nurbalin, political counsellor of the Kazakh Embassy pointed out that Kazakhstan offers 30 days of visa-free travel for UK citizens, supported by four direct weekly flights between London and Almaty, operated by Air Astana, making the country more accessible than ever for British citizens.The Younghusband Lecture not only celebrated Kazakhstan’s rich historical legacy but also highlighted its growing appeal as a destination for scholars, adventurers, and culturally curious travellers, many of whom left the event expressing a strong desire to explore Kazakhstan firsthand.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-london/press/news/details/1108453?lang=kk
