On February 11, 2026, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan signed a Decree on the appointment of a republican referendum. On March 15, 2026, the citizens of the country will make their choice on the issue of adopting a new Constitution. This step is a legitimate continuation of a large-scale constitutional reform aimed at comprehensive modernization of the political system. The reform was initiated by the initiative of Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to create a unicameral Parliament. This proposal was announced in his Address to the Nation on September 8, 2025, and its main goal was to make the public administration system more efficient, modernize political institutions, and give impetus to socio-economic development in the era of artificial intelligence. A special working group on parliamentary reform was created, which included lawyers, experts, representatives of political parties and public organizations. Society also actively participated in this process. Citizens sent their proposals through the e-Otinish and eGov platforms, participating in a nationwide discussion. As a result, more than two thousand proposals were considered and systematized. However, the essence of the reform is not limited to institutional changes. The main thesis of the new draft Constitution is clear: the Republic of Kazakhstan is a democratic, secular, legal and social state. The highest value of the state is a person and his life, rights and freedoms. This principle guides all areas of state policy. The rule of law, social justice, protection of citizens' rights, accountability and transparency of state bodies - all this should serve to protect human interests. Constitutional reform, before restructuring power structures, is aimed at strengthening the legal status of a person, protecting his dignity and freedom.

The new Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan is an important step in reorganizing the country's legal framework. The document establishes fair law and the rights and freedoms of citizens as the highest values of the state. The new Constitution aims to strengthen the balance between the state and society and ensure the rule of law. It guarantees the protection of the rights and freedoms of every citizen and serves as a basis for increasing trust and stability in society. An important feature of the document is its emphasis on the human factor in public administration. This means that every decision and policy of the state must be aimed at protecting human life and rights. In addition, the Constitution ensures the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of state institutions. The new Constitution of Kazakhstan is a guarantee of building a strong, developed state through fair law. It will strengthen the legal order and increase the trust of citizens, which will allow for the socio-economic development of the country and enhance its prestige in the international arena.

The new Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a historically important document for our country. It clearly declares that the sole owner of state power and sovereignty is the people of Kazakhstan. The new Constitution creates a reliable foundation between society and the state. It ensures the stability and effectiveness of the state by protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens. Every decision and state act must serve the interests of the people, which is the main indicator of the democratic development of our country. An important feature of the constitutional changes is the recognition of the people as the ultimate owners of power, which strengthens political and legal stability in the country. State power is exercised based on the trust of citizens and with their participation. The Constitution also emphasizes the transparency, accountability, and equality before the law of state institutions. This step will make Kazakhstan a reliable and stable country in the international arena as a modern democratic state. The new Constitution is a historic step in building a state that serves the people, ensures legal order and justice. It strengthens the sovereignty of our country and paves the way for a safe and secure society for every citizen.

On February 11, 2026, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan signed a Decree on the appointment of a republican referendum on the adoption of a new Constitution for March 15, 2026. This initiative is part of a large-scale reform aimed at modernizing the political system. The reform began with the proposal of the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to create a unicameral Parliament and was developed through extensive public discussions. A special working group was created, and citizens sent their proposals through the e-Otinish and eGov portals. More than two thousand proposals were considered and systematized. The new draft Constitution pays special attention to the issue of property rights. The main principle is clear: all types of property in the Republic of Kazakhstan are recognized, guaranteed and equally protected. This norm creates a solid legal foundation for economic stability, investment confidence and freedom of enterprise. At the same time, the right to property is not absolute. The use of property must be carried out in the interests of society and the state. Compliance with environmental protection requirements, not infringing on the rights and interests of other persons protected by law is the constitutional duty of the owner. The subjects and objects of property, the scope and limits of rights are clearly defined by law. This approach ensures legal clarity and balance. The land and its subsoil, water sources, flora and fauna, and other natural resources are declared to belong to the people. The state exercises the right of ownership on behalf of the people. In addition, land may be privately owned on the grounds, conditions, and within the limits established by law. This norm is aimed at protecting national wealth and coordinating economic turnover. Thus, the new draft Constitution establishes the right to property not only as an economic institution, but also as a constitutional value associated with social responsibility. The main emphasis is on the combination of the principles of guaranteeing property and its fair, legal and public use.

The new Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan plays an important role in strengthening the country's legal system and defining the basic principles of state power. The document establishes the Kurultai of the Republic of Kazakhstan as the highest representative body exercising legislative power. This norm further clarifies the principle of separation of powers and strengthens the role of the legislative body in society. According to the Constitution, the Kurultai is aimed at protecting the interests of all citizens of the country and ensuring the fair and balanced adoption of laws. The new Constitution clearly states that the activities of the Kurultai will be based on the principles of transparency, accountability, and the rule of law. This will strengthen democratic institutions in the country and establish a reliable bond between the people and the state. The new Constitution is a historic document that legally ensures the rule of the people, strengthens the legal foundation of the state and society, and paves the way for the democratic development of the country.

Для снижения импортозависимости и насыщения рынка отечественными товарами Правительство применяет новые инструменты финансовой поддержки. О деталях внедрения механизма «Заказ на инвестиции» и планах по капитализации холдинга «Байтерек» до 1 трлн тенге сообщил заместитель Премьер-министра – министр национальной экономики Серик Жумангарин.По его словам, совокупный объем мер для развития реального сектора экономики будет доведен до 8 трлн тенге.Основной упор делается на устранение дефицита базовых товаров, который является одной из причин инфляции. В частности, определено 12 ключевых направлений в продовольственном секторе (от переработки мяса и молока до сахара и плодоовощной продукции) и 24 – в непродовольственном (бытовая техника, стройматериалы, химия). До 2030 года через структуры холдинга «Байтерек» планируется профинансировать промышленные проекты на сумму порядка $100-120 млрд."Суть механизма «Заказ на инвестиции» – в системном насыщении внутреннего рынка отечественными товарами. Сегодня одной из ключевых причин инфляционного давления является дефицит ряда базовых товаров. Наша цель – обеспечить рынок своей продукцией и снизить импортозависимость. Проактивная политика станет ключевым инструментом индустриализации и диверсификации экономики, обеспечивая выполнение стратегических задач, поставленных Главой государства", — сообщил Серик Жумангарин.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1163152?lang=kk

Правительство обеспечит переход к новой модели экономического роста через привлечение $400 млрд совокупных инвестиций до 2029 года. О механизмах реализации задач, поставленных Главой государства на расширенном заседании Правительства, доложил заместитель Премьер-министра – министр национальной экономики Серик Жумангарин.По его словам, согласно Национальному плану развития, доля инвестиций в ВВП увеличится с текущих 14-15% до 23%, что позволит к 2029 году нарастить объем инвестиций в основной капитал в 2,5 раза по сравнению с уровнем 2024 года.Основной упор будет сделан на развитие металлургии, нефтехимии, производства газа и фармацевтики. Вместо пассивного ожидания инвесторов государство внедряет Проактивную политику экономического роста. То есть Правительство само будет формировать «заказы на инвестиции» под нужды местного бизнеса и привлекать зарубежных партнеров с готовыми технологиями для запуска новых производств."Суть этой политики заключается в переходе от модели, где государство лишь приглашает инвесторов, к модели активного государственного участия в формировании и запуске конкретных инвестиционных проектов. Данный подход сфокусирован на конкретных потребностях отраслей экономики. Обозначенные проекты увеличат среднюю производительность труда в стране, что является необходимым компонентом для преодоления «ловушки средних доходов» и дальнейшего роста подушевого ВВП", — сообщил вице-премьер Серик Жумангарин.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1163135?lang=kk
