In the course of history, our people have gone through many difficult and constructive periods. But no matter what the difficulties, they have creatively stepped forward and never deviated from the path of prosperity. Thanks to that struggle and perseverance, patriotism and wisdom, the Kazakh people gained independence and tasted the sweet taste of a peaceful life. And the roots of this success lie in unity, peace and integrity within the country. Today, representatives of more than 130 nationalities live peacefully under one roof on Kazakh soil. Their hearts are connected by one dream, one goal, and one faith - the name of that faith is Kazakhstan. If it were not for a united people who share a common dream and goal, who look to the future with one vision, and who are united, our country would not have reached its current level. Today, Kazakhstan, which the world is watching, holds high the standard of peaceful life under the blue sky. After all, in this country there are energetic boys, virtuous girls, and wise old men who work together. The annual celebration of May 1, the Day of Unity of the People of Kazakhstan, is a clear proof of this. It is not only a holiday of friendship between representatives of different nationalities, but also a symbol of the strong unity of our people. #МирИСогласие #ЗаМир #МыВместе #PeaceAndHarmony #PeaceForAll #TogetherForPeace #АНК30жил #АНК30лет #APK30years #АНК #ANK

Since January 2025, a new Law "On Public Procurement" has entered into force, aimed at improving the quality of purchased goods, works, and services, simplifying procurement procedures and further automating them.One of the important tools for implementing the provisions of the Law is the web portal of public procurement, which provides a single point of access to electronic public procurement services for all participants in the procurement process.Due to the complete digitalization of procedures (from planning to the fulfillment of contractual obligations, procedures are automated), the web portal has become a guarantee of openness, accountability and accessibility of information for all stakeholders.So, taking into account the new Law in 2025 on the web portal:- the terms of the competition have been shortened (discussion of the tender documentation from 5 to 2 working days; acceptance of applications from 15 to 5 working days; consideration of applications from 10 to 3 working days);- a new procedure for appealing the results of purchases has been implemented. In order to conduct the procurement promptly and avoid delaying the procedure, complaints are considered by the procurement organizers themselves;- work continues on the priority purchase of domestically produced goods on the web portal by establishing exemptions from the national regime in order to support the domestic market;in order to support small and medium-sized businesses, priority procurement of goods, works and services has been established, the cost of which does not exceed 50,000 MCI from this category of entities;- in order to promote competition and protect business, applications from suppliers who are government agencies and quasi-public sector entities are automatically rejected by the web portal if there are at least two applications from suppliers who are private business entities. In addition, a Single procurement platform has been launched on the basis of a Single Operator, through integration with existing procurement sites (goszakup.gov.kz , zakup.sk.kz , mitwork.kz), which provides a single access point for participation in public procurement, procurement of national companies and procurement of the Samruk-Kazyna Fund.Based on the results of the measures taken on the web portal:- the number of registered users amounted to more than 18 thousand customers and 102 thousand suppliers;- the amount of concluded contracts doubled from 3.4 trillion tenge (2024) to 7.2 trillion tenge (2025);- the number of concluded contracts increased by 23% from 870 thousand (2024) to 1,072 thousand (2025);- the number of complaints filed was reduced by 25% from 22 thousand (2024) to 16 thousand (2025);- the amount of contracts concluded with domestic producers increased by 137% from 150.8 billion tenge (2024) to 357.0 billion tenge (2025).Thanks to full digitalization, every step in the procurement process is recorded in the electronic system and automatically saved on the portal. This structure contributes to the formation of a competitive environment where all suppliers have equal conditions for participation. This opens the way for new market participants and stimulates the growth of the quality of public procurement.In addition, anyone can track purchase announcements, bidding results, concluded contracts, and customer actions. This enhances public control and reduces the risks of unfair practices.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1049405?lang=kk

Corruption remains one of the most pressing problems of modern society, undermining trust in government institutions and damaging the economy. The tax sphere is one of the areas where it is especially important to ensure transparency, fairness and control. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the fight against corruption in the tax system is carried out at the legislative, organizational and technological levels.The Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan is based on the following principles:• Legality and equality - each taxpayer is in equal conditions;• Transparency of tax procedures - the rights and obligations of the taxpayer and the tax authority are clearly defined;• Automation of processes - minimization of contact between citizens and officials;• The principle of "one window" and digital services - access through the eGov.kz portal and the Taxpayer's Cabinet on the website of the State Revenue Committee (kgd.gov.kz).These principles are aimed at eliminating corruption risks.Any taxpayer, whether a citizen or an organization, can contribute to the fight against corruption:• Conduct transparent business and avoid “gray” schemes;• Use official digital channels to pay taxes and receive services;• Report corruption cases through the “Anti-Corruption Service 1424” channel, on the anticorruption.gov.kz website, or to law enforcement agencies;• Maintain a culture of tax responsibility and legal literacy in the workforce.• Do not give or take bribes, even in everyday situations.• Report corruption cases to the relevant authorities.• Support honest professionals and demand transparency.When talking about corruption, it is important to remember: not only the taker is guilty, but also the giver. Society’s tolerance of “minor” violations undermines the foundations of the rule of law. Without civil resistance, corruption feels unpunished.The tax legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan not only regulates financial relations between the state and taxpayers, but also acts as a barrier against corruption. Thanks to digital solutions, legislative rigor and public participation, Kazakhstan is taking steps towards a transparent, fair and modern tax system.Corruption is not someone's problem, it is our common responsibility. And only together can we change the situation.If you become aware of cases of corruption offenses, you can report them by calling the helpline of the State Revenue Department for the Mendykara District: 8-714-43-2-45-80.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-mendykarin-audany-akimat/press/news/details/1049362?lang=kk

 The International Trade Centre (ITC), in partnership with the Ministry of Trade and Integration of Kazakhstan and QazTrade JSC, conducted a field mission to key border and seaport facilities from 28 July to 1 August 2025. The objective was to diagnose operational bottlenecks at critical border crossing points. This border assessment was carried out under the EU-funded "Ready4Trade Central Asia: Fostering Prosperity through the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor" project, implemented by ITC.The mission team visited major border checkpoints with Uzbekistan and the seaport of Aktau. As part of ITC’s structured, multi-step diagnostic process, which combines expert analysis, field-level assessments, and the development of an evidence-based position paper, the on-site visit enabled experts to observe clearance procedures in real time, conduct structured interviews with customs and other border regulatory agencies, and hold in-depth consultations with freight forwarders, customs brokers, transport operators, and traders.Initial findings reveal recurring challenges in risk management workflows and the electronic queuing system, highlighting the need for improved coordination, system interoperability, and enhanced data-sharing protocols. The insights gathered will inform actionable recommendations to streamline procedures and align operational practice with Kazakhstan’s ongoing digitalization and harmonization reforms.The mission also emphasized the need for more predictable border crossing times and stronger interagency collaboration. These issues reflect broader structural and procedural gaps in digital integration, infrastructure, and traffic management that require targeted reform measures."The effectiveness of cross-border trade starts with a clear understanding of the situation on the ground," said Madina Kazhimova, Deputy Director of the Foreign Trade Activities Department at the Ministry of Trade and Integration of Kazakhstan. "The field audit helps identify not only technical but also institutional barriers that hinder the smooth movement of goods. It is an important step toward turning strategic priorities into tangible improvements for businesses.""Ground-level engagement is essential to ensure that policy reforms translate into tangible improvements for traders and transport operators," said Nurlan Kulbatyrov, Managing Director of QazTrade JSC. "This mission has enabled us to triangulate feedback from public sector agencies and private sector stakeholders, providing a rich evidence base for enhancing border efficiency. The insights and recommendations gathered will also contribute to the preparation of Kazakhstan’s Second National Report on Trade Facilitation, which is expected to be unveiled later this year."Building on the mission’s findings, ITC will develop a concise position paper outlining the main operational challenges, gaps between policy and practice, and short- to medium-term recommendations for procedural enhancements. The Ministry of Trade and Integration and QazTrade JSC will use these insights to support Kazakhstan’s efforts to implement streamlined, digitally enabled border management, reinforcing the country’s role as a key transit hub in the Eurasian logistics landscape.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1048985?lang=kk
