The norms on the unity of the state, the integrity, indivisibility and inviolability of the territory of Kazakhstan remain unchanged - Constitutional Commission It is proposed to introduce a provision into the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan that would provide for the introduction of a special legal regime in the financial sector for certain territories or the possibility of creating so-called "cities of rapid development." This was announced by Deputy Chairman of the Constitutional Court Bakhyt Nurmukhanov at the fourth meeting of the Constitutional Commission. According to him, this concerns the activities of the International Financial Center in Astana and the development of the city of Alatau. These measures are aimed at ensuring effective economic development of the republic. At the same time, Bakhyt Nurmukhanov noted that the proposed norm should be considered in close connection with the main provisions of the Constitution. According to these provisions, the administrative-territorial structure of the country is determined solely by constitutional law. "The norm on the unity of the state, the integrity, indivisibility and inviolability of the territory of Kazakhstan remains unchanged," the Deputy Chairman of the Constitutional Court noted.

Оценки Международного валютного фонда, указывающие на риск возможного «перегрева» экономики Казахстана, требуют дополнительного контекста с учетом структурных изменений, происходящих в стране.  Анализ ключевых макроэкономических показателей свидетельствует о том, становится очевидным, что экономика находится в фазе здоровой трансформации, а не избыточного расширения.Понятие «перегрев» подразумевает рост выше потенциальных возможностей, провоцирующий дефицит ресурсов. В Казахстане такие признаки в настоящее время не наблюдаются.Уровень безработицы с 2023 года стабильный и находится на уровне 4,6-4,7%, темп роста заработных плат  отстает от динамики ВВП, что нехарактерно для перегретой экономики.Рост реального сектора или производства товаров (в 2025 году на 8,7%) значительно опережал рост сектора услуг (на 5,3%). Классическая картина во время «перегрева» обратная, услуги и неторгуемые сектора растут быстрее реального сектора.В Казахстане наблюдается восстановительный и структурный рост. Рост экономики на 6,5% в прошлом году и планируемая динамика на уровне не ниже 5,0% в 2026 году подкреплена реальным расширением производственных мощностей и реализацией производственных и инфраструктурных проектов, что формирует потенциал качественного роста экономики в долгосрочной перспективе.При этом ключевым драйвером экономики  в 2025 году и 2026 году остается ненефтяной сектор, в частности, обрабатывающая промышленность, сельское хозяйство, строительство, логистика и внутренняя торговля.В 2025 году обработка выросла на 6,4%, что обеспечено за счет увеличения производства в машиностроении – на 12,9%, в том числе в автомобилестроении – на 17,5%, в производстве металлических изделий на 13,6%, продуктов питания на 8,1%, химической промышленности на 9,8%, напитков на 9,7%, резиновых и пластмассовых изделий на 7,6%.В среднесрочной перспективе акцент экономической политики  будет сделан на развитие торгуемых секторов, на поддержку обрабатывающей промышленности и развитие инфраструктуры.Горнодобывающий сектор, в частности нефтегазовый сектор, не рассматривается как основной источник роста экономики. Ожидается, что  рост в обработке будет существенно опережать рост в горнодобывающем секторе. В обрабатывающей промышленности прогнозируется увеличение темпов роста с 6,2% в 2026 году до 6,6% в 2028 году за счет реализации инвестиционных проектов и ввода новых производств.Продолжающаяся диверсификация экономики сопровождается перераспределением инвестиций в основной капитал в пользу  обрабатывающих производств и транспортно-логистического комплекса, что делает экономику более устойчивой к внешним шокам и колебаниям цен на энергоресурсы.Что касается инфляции, то благодаря принятым в прошлом году Правительством мерам по корректировке тарифной политики и сдерживанию роста цен на СЗПТ, с октября 2025 года наметился четкий тренд замедления годовой инфляции (с 12,9% в сентябре до 12,3% в декабре). После пиковых значений 2025 года (12,9% в сентябре) инфляция вошла в фазу планомерного снижения. По прогнозам, в текущем году уровень инфляции продолжит снижаться и к концу т.г. сложится в таргетируемом коридоре 9-11%.Важным дезинфляционным фактором в этом году является бюджет 2026 года и параметры фискальной политики, которые построены на строгом соблюдении бюджетных правил, в том числе по трансфертам из Нацфонда, росту бюджетных расходов и уровню долга.Бюджетом 2026 года не предусмотрено привлечение целевых трансфертов из Национального фонда, а гарантированные трансферты жестко лимитированы в размере 2 770 млрд тенге.В соответствии с республиканским бюджетом на 2026–2028 годы запланировано снижение ненефтяного дефицита с 7,3% в 2025 году до 4,9% к ВВП в этом году.Таким образом, казахстанская экономика сегодня — это пример прагматичного баланса между стимулированием роста и поддержанием макроэкономической стабильности. Текущая динамика отражает не «перегрев», а поступательную структурную трансформацию: страна не просто потребляет, а активно инвестирует в свое будущее, сохраняя при этом контроль над ключевыми финансовыми показателями и соблюдая установленные правила бюджетной дисциплины.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1150049?lang=kk

An Open Day at the library is a special celebration for everyone who loves books, knowledge, and live communication. On this day, the library opens its doors not only as a repository of literature, but also as a space for meetings, discoveries, and inspiration. Guests have the opportunity to explore the library’s collection, learn about its services, and feel the atmosphere of comfort and intellectual dialogue that makes the library an important part of society’s cultural life. Today, January 28, an Open Day titled “The Temple of Books Is Open” was held within the library walls. The event began with a welcoming speech by the head of the Centralized Library System, Gaukhar Zhaksylykovna Asanova. This was followed by a presentation from librarian Nina Olegovna Koryakina, who introduced guests to important dates and significant milestones in the history of the library. The first part of the event featured thematic shelves dedicated to writer-anniversaries, including Sain Muratbekov, Marfuga Aitkozina, Olzhas Suleimenov, Mukagali Makatayev, and Ivan Shukhov. Particular attention was drawn to the extensive book exhibition “Zhambyl Zhabayev: The Heritage of the Great Akyn,” dedicated to the 180th anniversary of the poet’s birth. The exhibition presented both Zhambyl Zhabayev’s literary works and books about his life and creative path. Of special note is the unique book edition “Zhambyl” published in 1938 in a leather binding, preserved in excellent condition in the library’s collection and representing great historical and cultural value. Moving to the reading hall, guests were introduced to a review dedicated to anniversary figures such as Dina Nurpeisova, Akhmet Zhubanov, and our fellow countryman Ibray Altynsarin. Special attention was given to an important date of this year — the 160th anniversary of the birth of Alikhan Bokeikhanov, the founder of the Alash party and a figure who played a significant role in shaping the idea of national independence. Continuing the theme of Independence, a book exhibition dedicated to the 35th anniversary of Kazakhstan as an independent state was presented. The display introduced visitors to the first major steps of independent Kazakhstan: state symbols, the national currency, the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as one of the key events in the country’s history — the transfer of the capital from Almaty to Astana. At the conclusion of the event, Nina Olegovna presented a book exhibition dedicated to the 90th anniversary of Kostanay Region and the 90th anniversary of our district. This exhibition became a kind of chronicle of the native land, bringing together literature that reflects the rich and multifaceted history of the region and district. The presented publications tell about significant historical events, stages of formation and development of the region, as well as labor and cultural achievements of past years. A special place in the exhibition is occupied by books and materials about people who, through their work, talent, and devotion to their homeland, made a substantial contribution to the development of the district and the region. These names and life stories have glorified our land, becoming part of the history not only of the local community, but of the entire country. The exhibition sparked lively interest among guests and allowed them to take a fresh look at the past, realizing the importance of preserving historical memory and continuity between generations. In the second part of the event, bibliographer Svetlana Nikolaevna Korol introduced guests to the “Calendar of Significant and Memorial Dates for 2026.” During the presentation, she spoke about outstanding individuals from our district celebrating anniversaries, as well as important dates marking the opening of institutions and buildings. The presented calendar generated strong interest among visitors and became a useful guide for further educational and reading activities, helping them better navigate commemorative events and apply this information in their work.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-bmalin-audany-akimat/press/news/details/1149744?lang=kk
