Gold is a Strategic National Reserve and a Guarantee of Financial Stability 20.07.2026
Kazakhstan continues to increase its gold production capacity. The country's precious metals refinery in Astana has more than doubled its original design capacity and is now processing record volumes of gold-bearing raw materials, strengthening Kazakhstan's strategic gold reserves.As one of the country's most technologically advanced and highly secure industrial facilities, the refinery produces gold exclusively for the National Bank of Kazakhstan's gold and foreign exchange reserves. The gold refined here is not intended for the jewelry market. Instead, it serves as a strategic national asset that supports the country's financial stability.The refinery receives gold-bearing raw materials from more than 40 mines across Kazakhstan. Through a sophisticated refining process, the gold is purified to 99.99% purity, meeting the highest international standards.The production process begins in the smelting workshop, where Doré alloy—typically containing 50–70% gold, with the remainder consisting primarily of silver and other metals—is melted in furnaces operating at temperatures exceeding 1,000°C.According to Kozhan Muratbekov, Head of the Smelting and Casting Workshop, the installation of new electrolysis equipment has significantly increased the refinery's production capacity.https://kz.mir24.tv/news/16678266/zolotoj-fond.-kak-v-kazahstane-sozdayut-slitki-vysshej-proby Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana-uir/press/news/details/1260759?lang=ru

An attempt to illegally export more than 2.6 thousand liters of diesel fuel to China was stopped at the Maykapchagai customs post. 20.07.2026
The State Revenue Department of East Kazakhstan Region continuously conducts systematic monitoring to ensure compliance with the customs legislation of the Eurasian Economic Union and the Republic of Kazakhstan regarding goods and vehicles transported across the customs border. During one of these ongoing enforcement operations, the department's staff suppressed another instance of illegal fuel and lubricant exportation.The violations were recorded at the Maykapchagai customs post during the customs inspection and screening of empty cargo trucks traveling from the Republic of Kazakhstan to the People's Republic of China.On July 10, 2026, during a joint inspection of four heavy-duty vehicles operated by Chinese citizens, custom officers discovered non-factory-installed, specially equipped auxiliary tanks designed for the concealed transportation of fuel. The total volume of illegally transported diesel fuel amounted to approximately 2,640 liters (exceeding 2 metric tons).This export attempt did not qualify under any statutory exemption criteria (as the fuel did not constitute humanitarian aid, certified research samples for scientific purposes, or fuel contained within standard factory-installed fuel tanks). Thus, the actions of the Chinese nationals exhibit signs of direct non-compliance with the established export ban, directly threatening the national and economic security interests of the Republic of Kazakhstan (pursuant to Articles 6 and 22 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On National Security of the Republic of Kazakhstan.")The Chinese citizens were held administratively liable under Part 7 of Article 590 of the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Administrative Offences. An administrative fine in the amount of 32 437, 5 tenge was imposed on each offender.All case materials documenting the offense (including inspection reports, written statements, and photographic evidence) have been officially referred to the Department of Economic Investigation (DEI) of EKR for verification, registration, and the initiation of subsequent procedural decisions within their statutory competence.We remind the public that in order to protect the domestic market, Order of the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 175-н/қ dated April 30, 2026, "On certain issues of exporting petroleum products from the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan," introduced strict temporary export restrictions:From May 21, 2026, to November 21, 2026 (for a period of 6 months), a comprehensive ban is in effect on the export from the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan (including to EEU member states) by road of motor gasoline, diesel fuel, and specific types of petroleum products (under codes CN FEA EEU 2709 00, 2710, 2902, 3403, 3811, 3826 00), as well as the export of petroleum products by rail under (CN FEA EEU code 2710 12.) From July 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, the export of light distillates, aviation kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oils, toluene, xylene, and petroleum bitumen outside the customs territory of the EEU is prohibited.The State Revenue Department of East Kazakhstan Region warns all FEA participants of the strict necessity to comply with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan when crossing the customs border.

On behalf of the President, Lake Kobeytuz will receive a protected status 20.07.2026
On behalf of the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Lake Kobeytuz, known for its unique pink hue of water, will receive the status of a specially protected natural area. For this purpose, the borders of the Buiratau State National Natural Park will be expanded – the Kobeytuz water area will become part of it. This will ensure the protection of the unique ecosystem of the lake.The reservoir, located 160 km from the capital, is rightfully considered one of the most photogenic natural sites in the country, which attracts thousands of tourists every year. The growing flow of guests requires an appropriate infrastructure. Therefore, along with giving the lake a protected status, the akimat of the Akmola region is starting to improve the coastal territory: an observation deck and parking are being equipped here – this will allow residents and guests of the region to observe and photograph the natural phenomenon without creating threats to the fragile ecosystem.It should be noted that Kobeytuz is already one of the symbols of the Akmola region. And now it is necessary to create conditions under which people can safely and comfortably explore this unique place and enjoy the picturesque views without causing any harm to the lake. It is possible to preserve Kobeytuz in its original form for posterity only with proper landscaping and strict observance of environmental standards.The preservation of unique natural sites remains one of the priorities of the state environmental policy. The new Constitution establishes the formation of a high ecological culture as a fundamental principle of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and the expansion of the network of specially protected natural territories is one of the tools for its practical implementation. That is why the issues of nature protection and environmental protection are especially relevant today.The measures taken to protect and improve the lake's territory fully comply with the spirit and goals of the large-scale republican environmental initiative "Taza Kazakhstan". Preserving the fragile ecosystem of Lake Kobeytuz is an important practical contribution to the implementation of the concept of clean and green Kazakhstan.Earlier, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management in the Akmola region conducted a study of the hydrochemical properties of lake water. The analysis showed exceeding the maximum permissible concentrations for a number of substances – ammonium nitrogen, ammonia, chlorides, arsenic, sulfates and others. Based on the data obtained, swimming in the lake and collecting salt from its shores are strictly prohibited.For the duration of the landscaping work, access to Lake Kobeytuz will be limited: it is not allowed to approach the coastline or stay in the surrounding area closer to the recommended zone. Round-the-clock checkpoints will be set up at the entrances to the lake, and the police, together with authorized bodies, will patrol the territory.The regional Akimat urges residents and guests of the region to comply with the established requirements and environmental legislation, as well as to take care of the environment. This is the only way to preserve a unique natural site for future generations.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola-tourism/press/news/details/1260618?lang=ru
