The Head of State has signed the Decree “On Measures to Stimulate and Develop the Digital Assets Industry in the Republic of Kazakhstan,” aimed at establishing a modern and transparent ecosystem for digital financial services in the country.The document, developed by the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development and the National Bank in cooperation with relevant government agencies and the Astana International Financial Centre, lays the foundation for the systematic development of a regulated digital assets market, broader adoption of innovative financial technologies, and increased investment attractiveness of the sector.One of the Decree’s key directions is the modernization of the payment infrastructure. In particular, it provides for the development of mechanisms enabling the use of digital assets and stablecoins for cross-border settlements, opening additional channels for Kazakhstan’s businesses to conduct export and import operations.At the same time, the Decree introduces measures to encourage the transition of crypto-asset transactions into a regulated legal framework. Among the planned initiatives are the creation of conditions for the voluntary disclosure of digital assets previously held on foreign unregulated platforms, followed by their transfer to licensed domestic service providers. In addition, tax incentives for individuals are envisaged: income derived from transactions involving digital assets conducted through Kazakhstan’s regulated infrastructure is planned to be exempt from individual income tax.The Decree also places special emphasis on the efficient use of energy resources. It introduces a mechanism allowing associated petroleum gas and natural gas produced at oil and gas fields to be used for autonomous electricity generation, with such electricity potentially allocated to digital mining operations where these resources are not required to meet state needs. This measure is intended to stimulate regional investment and promote more efficient energy consumption.In addition, the Decree sets the direction for the development of tokenized financial instruments and the national trading infrastructure, which will expand the range of available investment products. The implementation of these initiatives will be formalized in a special action plan defining the timelines and responsible implementing authorities.As noted by the Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Zhaslan Madiyev, the signing of the document marks a new stage for the digital industry:“The Head of State has set us a clear task: to create the most favorable conditions for the development of the country’s technological potential, and this Decree is the strategic foundation for Kazakhstan’s transition to a new-generation digital economy. By introducing new instruments, we are shaping the rules of the game in which technological boldness goes hand in hand with institutional reliability. Today, we are creating an environment where digital assets become as familiar and secure as traditional financial instruments. Our goal is to make Kazakhstan a point of attraction for global capital and expertise while ensuring maximum transparency and protection for every participant in this market.”According to Vice Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development Gizzat Baitursynov, these measures create predictable conditions for all participants in the industry - from miners to financial institutions - thereby strengthening Kazakhstan’s position as a regional center for digital financial solutions. It is expected that the comprehensive implementation of the Decree will expand opportunities for businesses and investors while ensuring strict adherence to the principles of protecting citizens’ interests and maintaining the security of the financial system. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/maidd/press/news/details/1254746?lang=ru

The Alakol Region – A Sacred Place for All Living ThingsSince ancient times, the Alakol region has been renowned for its natural beauty and the healing properties of its lake water, always captivating people’s attention. It is a true paradise for migratory birds, praised in the poetry and songs of writers and poets, and passed down to us as a heritage from our ancestors. Preserving it in its pristine state and passing it on to future generations is our duty today.The Alakol State Nature Reserve was established in 1998 with the purpose of protecting the flora and fauna of the Tentek River delta and the unique population of the relic gull on the Araltobe Islands in Lake Alakol.The reserve covers an area of 65,672 hectares, of which 17,877 hectares are located in the Alakol District of the Zhetysu Region, and 47,795 hectares in the Urzhar and Makanshy Districts of the Abai Region. The territory of the reserve is distributed in a mosaic pattern within the Alakol Depression and is geographically divided into five sections.Since this region is part of the Central Asian–Indian migratory route for birds, on November 25, 2009, the Alakol–Sasykkol lake system was included in the Ramsar Convention List under number 1892 and is today recognized as a wetland of international importance.On May 29, 2013, the Alakol Reserve became part of the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves.The reserve is one of the largest sites in Kazakhstan for nesting, molting, and stopovers of wetland birds during migration. The main representatives of its wildlife are birds and fish.The bird fauna of the reserve comprises 330 species, 133 of which nest permanently in the area. Sixteen species are listed in the Red Book of Kazakhstan, with the relic gull being the symbol and pride of Alakol.The reserve is home to 35 species of mammals, most of which are rodents inhabiting desert areas. The most ecologically significant among them are the wild boar, fox, badger, roe deer, hare, muskrat, and wolf.Its water bodies contain 18 species of fish, 9 of which are native. Among them are endemics of the Balkhash–Alakol Depression: the Balkhash perch and the Balkhash marinka.Within the Alakol Depression, 24 species of reptiles are found, 10 of which occur within the reserve.Two species of amphibians have been recorded, including Pevtsov’s toad, listed in the Red Book of the Republic of Kazakhstan.A total of 392 insect species are known in the reserve.The flora is represented by 290 plant species, including 288 species of higher plants and 2 species of lower plants.The reserve’s activities are carried out in four main areas: protection of the territory, scientific monitoring, environmental education, and fire prevention.Conservation measures are extensive, yet support is still needed. Although our nature is still intact, the future raises concerns. It is important to build a proper relationship between humans and nature — to not only use its resources but also replenish them, and to actively participate in environmental protection. Even though people recognize the importance of nature for human life, the lack of ecological awareness is still felt. And even when nature shows its formidable character, people often fail to treat it with care and responsibility. Nature is an incomparable wealth given to humankind. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ecogeo/press/news/details/1254494?lang=ru
