In Almaty, as part of the instructions of the mayor of the city, Yerbolat Dosayev, a snow melting plant was opened, where, for the first time in Kazakhstan, environmentally friendly melting technology and efficient snow disposal were used.The new facility was built on the base where the anti-icing reagents of the Almaty Tazalyk KGP were previously stored. The need to create it is associated with the growing burden on the city's infrastructure and the increase in snowfall in recent years.The operation of the snow melting point is based on the use of wastewater heat, which flows through the existing sewer network. Warm water under pressure passes through a system of pumping units and pipelines, dissolving snow. After that, the resulting meltwater enters the filter, is cleaned of sand and debris, and then into the city sewer network. The installation capacity is up to 1,200 cubic meters of snow per day.Snow is removed from the territories of Auezovsky, Almalinsky and Bostandyk districts to the snow melting point. In these areas, the issue of snow removal is most acute, and traffic does not allow efficient removal of snow from the main streets.In addition, this solution can significantly reduce the time and resources spent on snow removal outside the city, as well as reduce the negative impact on the environment.According to Yertay Kasenov, Deputy Director of the Almaty Tazalyk State Enterprise, the introduction of a snow melting point is a significant step in ensuring environmental sustainability and improving the quality of life in the metropolis."In recent years, winter precipitation has become more intense, and we are forced to look for new solutions for effective snow disposal. The snow melting point is a modern alternative to the traditional method when snow is transported to landfills," Yertay Kasenov added.It should be noted that the project is aimed at improving the winter maintenance of city streets and increasing comfort for Almaty residents in winter.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/915122

After that, we moved on to sweeping and shoveling snow. In two nights, we managed to remove about 15,200 cubic meters of snow throughout the city," Asset Tulegenov, chief engineer of the Almaty Tazalyk State Enterprise, said.He noted that the cleaning process is organized in such a way as to minimize the impact of weather conditions on traffic."Our teams are working smoothly, and modern technology allows us to speed up the process and achieve high–quality cleaning," he stressed.Dina Munarbayeva, senior foreman of the Medeu district road workers, who has been working in this field for more than eight years, said that despite the difficult circumstances, her team strives to act promptly."We are removing the snow quickly so that the streets of the city remain safe. Despite the frosts and night shifts, our team is in a New Year's mood. This helps to maintain team spirit and effectively cope with tasks," she said.Dina Munarbayeva is known among her colleagues as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. She loves to sing, and her repertoire includes simple and well-loved songs. Thanks to her singing, the working atmosphere becomes warm and positive even on frosty days, and monotonous work turns into a joint activity that unites the team."Snow and frost are just nature, and our optimism is stronger than any bad weather," jokes Dina Munarbayeva. She always supports her colleagues with jokes and kind words, helping them cope with cold shifts. In addition, her organizational skills allow her to quickly find solutions to even the most difficult situations: equipment breakdowns, unexpected snowfalls — all these are just new challenges for her to overcome."We are not working for the sake of gratitude, but so that the residents of the city can continue their lives unchanged," she adds, starting to sing another tune, to which her team continues to clean the streets of Almaty.The city services assure that snow removal will continue without interruptions. Minor streets and inter-block driveways are scheduled to be cleared in the coming days. Thanks to such professionals as Dina Munarbayeva,Almaty remains clean and safe even in the most severe weather conditions.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/915129

From January 1, 2025, the employer’s compulsory pension contributions (ECPC) in Kazakhstan will be 2.5%.Let us recall that from January 1, 2024, all employers began to participate in the formation of pension savings and transfer employer’s compulsory pension contributions (ECPC) to the UAPF in favor of their employees. Thus, the funded system of Kazakhstan was supplemented with a new component.According to the Social Code, in contrast to the 10% of compulsory pension contributions (CPC) paid by employees from their income, ECPC are transferred from the employer’s own funds. The ECPC size will gradually increase annually (1.5% in 2024, 2.5% in 2025, 3.5% in 2026, 4.5% in 2027) and will be 5% in 2028. The amount of employee income accepted by the employer for calculating the ECPC is not less than one minimum wage (MW) and not more than 50 MWs established for the relevant calendar year.Employers are exempt from paying ECPC in favor of the following employees - persons of retirement age, persons with permanent disability of groups 1 and 2, military personnel and persons equivalent to them, as well as persons born before January 1, 1975. Control over the timeliness and completeness of ECPC payments by employers is assigned to the State Revenue Committees of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan.It is worth considering that, unlike CPC, which is credited to individual pension accounts of employees, ECPC is credited to conditional pension accounts and is not the property of employees. Accordingly, savings formed at the expense of ECPC, employees cannot inherit. ECPC is intended for the payment of pensions on a solidarity (distribution) principle. Therefore, ECPC, which were previously paid for persons who subsequently lost their citizenship of Kazakhstan or died, will be distributed among the remaining participants and will be paid for life.The introduction of the ECPC is aimed at providing pensions to workers born in 1975 and later, given the absence or insignificance of their work experience before 1998 to receive a solidarity pension. In the future, their total pension will consist of three components: a basic pension from the state, a funded pension from their CPC to the UAPF, and a notionally funded pension from employer contributions. 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/abay/press/news/details/915325

She emphasized that the region needs 7,503 specialists, of which 4,812 are working professions. The forecast for 2025 assumes the need for 2,488 specialists, including 1,609 workers.Short-term professional training programs covering various specialties with a duration of up to 6 months are provided for the training of in-demand personnel. In 2024, 860 people were trained, of which 732 were employed. 603 vocational training courses have been published on the Electronic Labor Exchange portal, of which 271 courses are free.

It is planned to organize contests, events and exhibitions aimed at promoting working professions in order to show their importance and attractiveness to young people."It is necessary to actively promote the idea of a hardworking specialist in society, create conditions for the development of working skills, and train qualified specialists in various industries. We will work with educational institutions, businesses, and local governments to attract more young people into working professions and show that this is not only honorable, but also promising in terms of career growth. I am sure that raising the status of working professions will have a great impact on the socio-economic development of the region," the mayor stressed.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aktobe/press/news/details/914334

In addition, in order to increase the availability of purchase and operation of ground spray equipment and UAVs (drones), agricultural producers and providers of chemical processing services will be reimbursed 25% of the cost of purchased equipment. For this purpose, appropriate changes were made to the rules of investment subsidies of the Ministry of Agriculture.Under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister-Minister of national economy Serik Zhumangarin, the government discussed information on preparations for the fight against locusts and preparations for spring field work.According to Vice Minister of Agriculture Yermek Kenzhekhanuly, in 2024, 247 units of equipment were used for chemical processing, and in 2025 this number will increase to 443 units. Of these, there are 46 agrodrons, which were purchased by the Ministry of Agriculture to the regional offices of RSE "phytosanitary". 7 studies were also taken from the UAV. "In Turkestan region in the spring of last year, based on the results of the project of pilot testing of centralized activities, including field spraying through agrodrons and the purchase, transportation, storage and processing of pesticides, the Ministry of Agriculture introduced the organization of phytosanitary measures in all regions on the principle of" one supplier – all works". This makes the business more attractive to participate in the purchase of these services and more responsible for the results. In addition, we have created favorable conditions for farmers and suppliers of chemical processing services by reimbursing 25% of the cost of agrodrons, ground ventilators and Rod sprayers," Yermek Kenzhekhanovich said.The meeting also considered the readiness of the regions for spring field work. Of the 100 billion tenge allocated as part of early financing, which began on November 29, 2024, 70 billion tenge was directed to 671 agricultural producers. The most actively used of these funds are the regions with grain crops: Akmola (15.4 billion tenge), Kostanay (14.9 billion tenge) and North Kazakhstan regions (14.5 billion tenge). And in the southern regions-Turkestan, Zhambyl and Zhetysu regions, in the regions where spring field work begins earlier, the amount of applications is only 10 billion tenge. According to preliminary data of the regions, the readiness of agricultural machinery for spring field work in the Republic is currently about 56%. The need for seeds for the 2024 harvest is 2.3 million tons, of which 99% is prepared.Following the meeting, Serik Zhumangarin instructed to revise the structure of arable land, in particular, to reduce the area of wheat sowing, increase oilseeds and other high-efficiency crops. He also noted the need to maximize the sowing areas of elite seeds of Kazakhstani selection, which showed the highest results in the 2024 harvest.Next Wednesday, Serik Zhumangarin plans to visit one of the southern regions to get acquainted with the preparations for spring field work and discuss the development of the real sector of the economy.
