In the first half of 2025, Kazakhstanis accessed more than 26 million public services through the eGov.kz portal and the eGov Mobile app. Notably, 12 million of these services, about 45 percent, were provided through the eGov Mobile app, reflecting a significant increase in trust in mobile services.Currently, more than 90 percent of government services are available online, and the citizens of Kazakhstan are actively utilizing this opportunity. The number of registered users on the eGov.kz e-government portal continues to rise, now exceeding 14.8 million, with 270,000 new users registered this year alone.Particular attention should be paid to the growing popularity of the eGov Mobile application - its audience has increased by 1.1 million users since the beginning of the year and reached 11 million. One of the app's most utilized features is the «Digital Documents» section, which has been accessed more than 41 million times. The app currently offers 38 different digital documents, including ID cards, driving licenses, student ID cards, and other important credentials.The popularity of the application is also confirmed by the stable user activity: more than 5.8 million people use the eGov Mobile application every month.Overall, since the launch of the e-government initiative, citizens have received a total of 573 million services: 489 million through the eGov.kz portal and 84 million via the eGov Mobile app.In addition to the usual certificates and basic services, Kazakhstanis are increasingly adopting new digital tools. Among the most popular are data leakage checks with the Nomad Guard service, issuance of a 073/u medical certificate via eGov Mobile, and the ability to send a notification to the car owner about problems noticed on the road using the «Notify the car owner about the problem» service. The «Law and Order» service is also popular, allowing to file a complaint to the police on various incidents in real time - from traffic accidents to domestic violence.The development of digital services goes beyond simply adding new functions. The development team is dedicated to systematically improving existing solutions: analyzing user experiences, optimizing processes, and reducing the number of steps required to obtain services. Many of these improvements may be unnoticed by users but significantly enhance the convenience and speed of service delivery.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola-selinograd/press/news/details/1033001?lang=kk

International organizations highlight the income replacement ratio (IRR) as one of the important indicators of pension adequacy. It reflects the ratio between pension benefits and the employee's wages before retirement, i.e. how much his pension income replaces his labor income.It should be noted that the IRR is a target benchmark, its value is individual for each employee and depends on his labor income and length of service, regularity and completeness of pension contributions to his funded pension account.The concept of further modernization of the pension system of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2030 provides for maintaining the IRR with total pension benefits at a level of at least 40% of lost earnings (International Labor Organization standard) with at least 35 years of participation in the pension system and a regularity of contributions of 12 times a year.The replacement rate for UAPF contributors who reached retirement age in 2024 and began to receive pension benefits (solidary and basic pension from the state, as well as funded pension from UAPF), in total for all types of pensions amounted to more than 41% of the average salary level.In the future, as is happening in developed countries, the funded pension will make up an increasing part of the total pension. The Kazakhstan funded pension system has not yet completed its full cycle, which is about 40 years - the full period of a person's working life. Therefore, those who retire do not yet have sufficient savings experience. In addition, as is known, in the first years of the implementation of the funded system, low incomes, irregularity and incompleteness of contributions were characterized. Therefore, a higher share of solidarity pension is still maintained, but gradually decreases. In the future, according to actuarial estimates, the replacement rate due to the funded pension for contributors who began their working career in 2024 (at the age of 22) and will retire in 2065 will be 35% or more of their earnings. At the same time, the funded pension will be formed at the expense of compulsory pension contributions of employees (CPC) and employers (ECPC). In addition, citizens will receive a basic pension, the amount of which also depends on the length of service of CPC contributions to the UAPF. Such workers will no longer have the right to a solidarity pension.Currently, the calculation of the average monthly income replacement rate for each contributor is carried out by the UAPF based on information from state information systems, within the limits provided by law. How is IRR calculated for the purposes of using lump sum pension benefit payments (LSPBP) for improving housing conditions and/or medical treatment? It should be noted that persons with pension savings in the UAPF are entitled to lump sum pension benefit payments (LSPBP) if one of the following conditions is met:Pension savings exceed the minimum sufficiency thresholdFuture pension (joint and basic) is not less than 40% of current incomeA pension annuity agreement has been concluded with an insurance company.The legislation defines the algorithm for calculating the IRR as follows:The monthly pension (basic + solidarity on the date of assignment) is divided by the average monthly income of the beneficiary (AMI) for the last 5 years (before retirement). The amount of AMI is calculated based on data on his actual compulsory pension contributions (CPC) for 5 years, adjusted for inflation, and is limited to the average monthly income in the republic.For beneficiaries of long-service pension benefits who are assigned pension benefits in accordance with the Social Code, and retired judges who are paid a monthly lifetime allowance, the replacement rate of the AMI is taken to be 40%.Please note that only the basic and solidarity pensions are taken into account to calculate the IRR, which should provide the pensioner with a lifetime income of at least 40%. Upon reaching this IRR level, the pensioner can use up to 50% of their savings for housing or treatment. If a person has entered into a pension annuity agreement, that is, receives a lifetime pension benefit from an insurance company of at least 70% of the subsistence minimum established for the current financial year, they can use all savings in their pension account in the UAPF for housing or medical treatment. Understanding the meaning of the replacement rate helps citizens plan their financial stability through pension benefits. Every year, the role of funded pensions is becoming increasingly important. It is important that public policy and the pension system develop in the direction of providing adequate pensions for all citizens.  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. Trust management of UAPF pension assets is carried out by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In accordance with the pension legislation, the UAPF attracts compulsory pension contributions, employer’s compulsory pension contributions, compulsory occupational pension contributions, voluntary pension contributions, as well as carries out enrollment and accounting of voluntary pension contributions formed at the expense of the unclaimed amount of guaranteed compensation for the guaranteed deposit, transferred by the organization carrying out mandatory guarantee of deposits, in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On mandatory guarantee of deposits placed in second-tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan", ensures the implementation of pension benefits. The Fund also carries out accounting of target assets and target requirements, accounting and crediting of target savings (TS) to target savings accounts, payments of TS to their recipients in bank accounts, accounting for returns of TS in the manner determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the framework of the National Fund for Children program (More details at www.enpf.kz)               Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-rudnyi-kalasy-akimat/press/news/details/1042210?lang=kk

In Shymkent, 193 criminal cases were registered in the investigation bodies last week, 13 of which were sent to court. The most frequently registered crimes include fraud - 38 cases, theft - 27 cases, illegal drug trafficking - 12 cases, robbery - 10 cases, and 11 cases related to traffic accidents. The majority of fraud crimes are related to Internet fraud (28 cases). Among them, fraudulent methods are often found through fake product advertisements on the Internet (13 cases), false investment offers (3 cases), calls made by pretending to be bank employees, telecommunications operators, or representatives of government agencies (11 cases), and through loan processing (2 cases). For example, last week, an unknown person called a city resident named "G", introduced himself as an employee of the bank's security department, said that a dubious loan had been processed from his bank account, and informed him that the funds needed to be transferred to a "safe" account. As a result, the victim transferred more than 3,700,000 tenge to the fraudster's account. A criminal case has been opened on this fact and an investigation is underway. Since such cases of Internet fraud are registered every day, we urge residents and guests of the city to be vigilant: we recommend not to disclose personal data when receiving suspicious calls from unknown persons and to contact official hotlines for information regarding bank accounts. In addition, there is an increase in cases of pickpocketing and theft of mobile phones. On July 6, during a festive event in the central park, an unknown person secretly stole a mobile phone from the child of a citizen named "S". Since such thefts often occur, especially in markets, public transport and festive events, we advise residents not to put valuables in their pockets in crowded places and not to let children touch them. In addition, the availability of leaflets advertising drugs on the Internet encourages young people to engage in illegal courier services and drug use. According to statistics, young people who provide courier services are most often detained in cases related to drug trafficking. In this regard, we urge the younger generation not to be fooled by dubious messages on social networks, not to accept illegal offers, and to lead a healthy lifestyle. In addition, several traffic accidents were registered in the city last week, and the number of victims increased. Most of the criminal cases occurred due to drivers speeding and being distracted by mobile phones. In particular, 5 cases of pedestrians hitting and collisions with vehicles, 2 cases of pedestrians crossing in an unauthorized place, 1 case of minors driving scooters and mopeds without observing traffic rules, and 1 case of driving under the influence of alcohol were registered. In this regard, we urge city residents to strictly observe traffic rules, and parents to strictly prohibit the use of scooters and high-speed scooters in order to ensure the life and safety of children. This was announced by the official representative of the Shymkent city administration, deputy city akim, Sarsen Abayuly Kuranbek.

Организация экономического сотрудничества и развития (ОЭСР) представила отчет «Ответственное ведение бизнеса для обеспечения устойчивой инфраструктуры в Казахстане, Монголии и Узбекистане», в котором проанализирована степень интеграции принципов ответственного ведения бизнеса (ОВБ) в национальные стратегии устойчивого развития трёх стран. Казахстану в документе уделено особое внимание как стране, добившейся значительного прогресса в институционализации стандартов ОВБ, на системном уровне включившей их в свою социально-экономическую повестку.По оценке экспертов, Казахстан демонстрирует всесторонний и межсекторально согласованный подход к реализации принципов ОВБ. Национальная стратегия охватывает критически важные направления: охрану труда, экологическую модернизацию, декарбонизацию, развитие человеческого капитала и стимулирование участия бизнеса в ESG-повестке.В отчёте подчёркивается, что достигнутый прогресс во многом обеспечен системными мерами Правительства Республики Казахстан, направленными на поддержку отечественных производителей, развитие малого и среднего бизнеса, а также на укрепление устойчивых механизмов экономического развития.В качестве ключевых инициатив Казахстана, получившими положительную оценку ОЭСР приведены несколько критериев:Безопасность труда. Казахстан демонстрирует значительные усилия в снижении производственного травматизма и создании безопасных условий труда. С 2019 года реализуется концепция Vision Zero, направленная на достижение нулевого уровня производственного травматизма и смертности. С 2024 года внедряется цифровая карта мониторинга условий труда, позволяющая обеспечить прозрачность и контроль за соблюдением стандартов безопасности на предприятиях. Дополнительно утверждена Концепция безопасного труда на 2024–2030 годы, которая служит системной основой для профилактики профессиональных рисков и внедрения культуры охраны труда.Экологическая модернизация. Важным элементом устойчивой инфраструктуры стало внедрение механизмов перехода к экологически чистому производству. Предприятия, применяющие наилучшие доступные технологии (НДТ), освобождаются от уплаты экологического налога на выбросы. При этом государство предоставляет как финансовую, так и техническую поддержку в модернизации производств, включая субсидирование инвестиций, упрощение процедур и консультационное сопровождение.Развитие возобновляемой энергетики. Казахстан стимулирует инвестиции в проекты по использованию возобновляемых источников энергии (ВИЭ). С 2016 года для таких проектов действуют налоговые льготы, а с 2020 года — полное освобождение от НДС и таможенных пошлин на импортируемое оборудование. Помимо фискальных стимулов, предусмотрены гранты в размере до 30% от объёма инвестиций, что делает рынок ВИЭ более привлекательным для инвесторов.Программа «Тариф в обмен на инвестиции». Этот механизм направлен на возмещение затрат инвесторов в сфере инфраструктуры и энергетики через регулируемые тарифы. Программа обеспечивает предсказуемость возврата инвестиций, способствуя привлечению частного капитала в модернизацию энергетических и коммунальных систем.Развитие человеческого капитала. Учитывая значимость кадрового обеспечения для устойчивого роста, 2025 год в Казахстане объявлен Годом рабочих профессий. Основной акцент сделан на профессиональное обучение и повышение квалификации специалистов в приоритетных секторах: энергетике, строительстве, водоснабжении и транспорте. Эти меры способствуют укреплению институционального и трудового потенциала в критически важных отраслях инфраструктуры.Существенная часть анализа в отчете ОЭСР посвящена деятельности АО «Фонд национального благосостояния «Самрук-Қазына», который признан ключевым институциональным механизмом продвижения принципов ответственного ведения бизнеса (ОВБ) и устойчивого развития в Казахстане. Фонд рассматривается как катализатор перехода государственных предприятий к ESG-ориентированным практикам, демонстрируя высокий уровень институциональной зрелости и управленческой последовательности. Его деятельность направлена не только на обеспечение возврата инвестиций в стратегическую инфраструктуру, но и на реализацию социальной миссии по укреплению локальной промышленности и предпринимательства.Среди приоритетных инструментов реализации этой повестки выделяются: заключение долгосрочных контрактов с отечественными поставщиками; системное вовлечение субъектов малого и среднего бизнеса в производственные цепочки дочерних компаний; стимулирование развития отечественных компетенций и локализация ключевых элементов инфраструктурных проектов. Подход фонда способствует формированию устойчивой экономической базы и расширению участия частного сектора в реализации стратегических задач.Особое внимание уделяется внедрению корпоративных стандартов в области прав человека, антикоррупционного комплаенса, экологического управления и оценки рисков, что отражено в политике устойчивого развития и корпоративном кодексе Фонда. «Самрук-Қазына» также ежегодно раскрывает данные в сфере нефинансовой отчетности и направляет не менее 7% чистой прибыли на социальные и благотворительные программы. Такая комплексная модель управления получила позитивную оценку ОЭСР и рекомендована к распространению в других структурах государственного сектора как пример эффективного институционального подхода к реализации принципов ОВБ.Наряду с признанием достигнутого прогресса, ОЭСР формулирует ряд рекомендаций по углублению политики ОВБ. Среди них — усиление координации между министерствами, особенно с участием Национального контактного центра; развитие процедур должной осмотрительности в добывающих отраслях; поддержка трудовых прав в рамках реализации Концепции безопасного труда; продвижение экологических стандартов через расширение применения НДТ (Наилучшие доступные технологии) и возможное внедрение системы торговли квотами на выбросы.Кроме того, предлагается расширить антикоррупционные меры с вовлечением гражданского общества в сфере инвестиций в инфраструктуру, внедрить устойчивые критерии в практику государственных закупок, а также активизировать инструменты устойчивого финансирования. Казахстану рекомендуется масштабировать модель, применяемую Фондом «Самрук-Қазына», на весь государственный сектор, включая те активы, которые находятся вне его управления. Это позволит закрепить принципы ОВБ как универсальную управленческую норму в развитии инфраструктуры и обеспечить долгосрочную устойчивость экономической модели страны. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1032572?lang=kk

One of the strategically important facilities for the city of Shymkent, the Almaar Logistics trade and logistics center, located near the international transport corridor "Western China - Western Europe", is currently operating effectively. A private investor invested 14.8 billion tenge in the construction of a multifunctional complex with a total area of 24 thousand square meters. This is a major project aimed at developing the regional economy. The center is fully equipped with modern storage technologies. A logistics system has been implemented that allows for the rapid delivery of perishable food products to consumers without having to store them for a long time. This is an effective way to maintain product quality and reduce costs. The activities of the Almaar Logistics Center make a significant contribution to ensuring the city's food security, optimizing the work of small and medium-sized businesses, and increasing export potential. Such projects will increase Shymkent's potential as a logistics hub and open up opportunities for closer ties with regional and international markets.

Due to the population growth in the Telman microdistrict of Shymkent and to prevent students from having to travel long distances to attend schools, construction of a new school began last year. The construction of this educational institution, designed for 1,200 students, began in April last year and is planned to be commissioned by the new academic year of this year. Currently, interior finishing works are nearing completion. External landscaping and engineering infrastructure works are underway at the construction site. It is expected that once the school is put into operation, the educational situation for the residents of Telman will significantly improve and the problem of student density will be resolved.
