The 10th Meeting of the Kazakhstan-Mongolia Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technical and Cultural Cooperation was held in Astana on October 1, 2026.During the meeting, the sides discussed the current state of bilateral trade and practical measures to further expand trade relations.First Vice Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan Aizhan Bizhanova noted that Kazakhstan and Mongolia have significantly intensified their cooperation since the beginning of the year. In the first eight months of 2026, bilateral trade reached approximately USD 77 million.At the same time, the sides have carried out substantial work this year to develop legal, trade and financial instruments to further increase bilateral trade.One of the key developments was the entry into force on July 22 of the Interim Trade Agreement between the EAEU and Mongolia. The agreement provides preferential conditions for 367 tariff lines. Kazakhstan sees significant potential for increasing exports of agricultural products, machinery, metals and chemical industry products.In parallel, infrastructure is being developed to promote Kazakh products in the Mongolian market.

The Kazakhstan Export Credit Agency has approved a USD 33 million limit for Mongolia’s Trade and Development Bank. Under this mechanism, three transactions for the supply of Kazakh railway gondola cars, with a total value of approximately USD 21 million, are already being worked on. At the same time, cooperation with other Mongolian banks is also underway.The Kazakh side also proposed exploring a reciprocal financing mechanism that would allow domestic businesses to purchase Mongolian products on more favorable terms. This would help use trade finance instruments to increase mutual supplies between the two countries.Another practical outcome was the development of cooperation in the field of technical regulation. On September 28, a Memorandum was signed between the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Mongolian Agency for Standardization and Metrology. The cooperation is aimed at simplifying procedures and reducing technical barriers to bilateral trade.Particular attention during the meeting was also given to transport and logistics connectivity between the two countries.

Trade, financial and organizational instruments have been established. Our common task now is to translate these mechanisms into concrete transactions, secure new contracts and increase bilateral trade,” Aizhan Bizhanova said.The Kazakh side expressed its readiness to continue practical work to promote joint trade projects and provide the necessary support to Mongolian businesses in the Kazakh market. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1303214?lang=ru

Kazakhstan ranks 32nd globally in accreditation development according to the Global Quality Infrastructure Index 2025Kazakhstan ranked 32nd globally in terms of accreditation development, according to the 2025 Global Quality Infrastructure Index (GQII).In the overall GQII 2025 ranking, Kazakhstan placed 48th among 185 countries. The country’s performance is assessed across three key components of national quality infrastructure: accreditation, metrology and standardisation.Kazakhstan recorded its highest position in accreditation, ranking 32nd. The country ranked 43rd in metrology and 70th in standardisation.Accreditation is one of the key elements of quality infrastructure. It provides formal recognition of the competence of conformity assessment bodies, including testing and calibration laboratories, certification bodies and inspection bodies. An effective accreditation system helps strengthen confidence in testing, measurement and certification results and creates conditions for their international recognition.The Global Quality Infrastructure Index (GQII) enables the level of development of quality infrastructure systems in different countries to be compared. The ranking is based on data covering accreditation, standardisation and metrology.According to GQII, the index is compiled using publicly available data from official quality infrastructure institutions. This includes information from international organisations and national bodies working in the fields of metrology, standardisation and accreditation.The GQII results provide an opportunity to assess the state of national quality infrastructure and track its development in an international context. A well-developed quality infrastructure plays an important role in building confidence in products and services, supporting international trade and strengthening economic competitiveness.The Global Quality Infrastructure Index (GQII) is an initiative of Mesopartner and is implemented with long-term financial and technical support from the German National Metrology Institute (PTB) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), with the participation of national quality infrastructure bodies and international experts. Since 2023, the project has also been working closely with UNIDO and INetQI partners.For reference: The Global Quality Infrastructure Index is an international initiative by Mesopartner to collect, analyse and disseminate open data on the development of quality infrastructure across countries.Source: Global Quality Infrastructure Index (GQII) 2025, Mesopartner.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1300093?lang=ru

The Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan held a regular meeting of its Public Council with the participation of Minister of Trade and Integration Arman Shakkaliyev.The meeting focused on the regulation of real estate services, consumer rights protection, ensuring fair competition and improving legislation.Particular attention was paid to issues related to the real estate services market. Public Council member Marlen Smailov stressed the need for transparent and clear rules for market participants, stronger consumer protection and greater responsibility among real estate agents.Among the key challenges discussed were the lack of a unified state register and mandatory accreditation for real estate agents, the absence of common service standards, limited transparency in pricing and insufficiently regulated mechanisms for handling consumer complaints.According to the Ministry of Trade and Integration, efforts to improve legislation governing real estate activities are being carried out at the initiative of Members of Parliament.As part of this work, the Ministry has received three positive Government conclusions on legislative initiatives aimed at regulating real estate activities and the provision of real estate services, as well as licensing and state oversight in the sector.During the review of the relevant draft laws, the Government noted that there was no need to develop a separate law specifically regulating real estate activities. At the same time, it confirmed the need to improve the legal framework in this area and strengthen the protection of citizens using real estate services.The draft law on the regulation of real estate activities is currently under consideration by the Kurultai of the Republic of Kazakhstan. At the same time, a professional standard for real estate services is being developed and coordinated.According to Aset Aitbai, Chairman of the PANA Association, the initiative to improve the regulation of real estate activities was put forward by the professional community two years ago. He noted that one of the key challenges in the market is the large number of intermediaries who do not meet professional requirements, as well as cases of fraud.“We will further discuss all the proposed changes with members of the Public Council. The working group under the Kurultai will continue its detailed work on issues related to the regulation of real estate activities,” said Arman Shakkaliyev, Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan.Another important part of the meeting focused on improving the competitiveness of Kazakhstan’s meat processing industry. Public Council members raised concerns about the quality of imported sausage products and proposed strengthening controls over products available on the market. In particular, they suggested regularly collecting samples of sausage products from retail outlets for laboratory testing.Council members also raised the issue of the origin of certain goods available on the market. According to them, consumers can sometimes find it difficult to determine where and by whom a product was manufactured, as well as how it entered the market.“That is why the digital map of goods is so important today. We are actively working on the National Goods Catalogue, which will make it possible to track the movement of products and determine where they came from and where they are headed. The Government is taking systematic steps to bring the economy out of the shadow. This is a comprehensive process that takes time. At the same time, the digitalisation of these processes will help make the movement of goods more transparent,” the Minister said.At the end of the meeting, members of the Public Council unanimously supported the resignation of Galym Kussainov from the Council following his voluntary request to step down. Dana Temirkhanovna Kassymova was appointed to the Public Council in his place.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1299921?lang=ru

This weekend, around 3.5 thousand tons of domestic agricultural products are presented at "Dala dämi" fairs across the country. This is almost twice as much as at the fairs held last week, when more than 2 thousand tons of goods were sold."Dala dämi" fairs are held in all regions of Kazakhstan at the initiative of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Their main feature is the opportunity to purchase products directly from farmers, without intermediaries. At the same time, prices for goods are on average up to 20% lower than market prices.In Astana this weekend, farmers from the Abai region, Mangystau and Almaty regions are presenting their products. In Almaty, fairs are simultaneously operating at four venues, where about 600 tons of agricultural products are being sold. One of the largest fairs is taking place in Shymkent. Farmers have brought more than 500 tons here.Meat products are in particular demand among buyers. Beef, horse meat, lamb, and poultry are presented on the shelves.For example, 52 tons of beef have been brought to the fair in the Karaganda region. In Astana, beef and horse meat from farmers of the Abai region can be purchased for 3500 tenge per kilogram. Comparable prices are in effect in other regions as well. In Kostanay, a kilogram of beef is sold for 3200–3500 tenge, horse meat and lamb from 3000 tenge.In addition to affordable prices, an important advantage of the fairs is the free provision of trading places to farmers. First and foremost, socially significant food products are presented here.Since September of this year, agricultural fairs across the country have been held under the unified name "Dala dämi". The format has already become a familiar shopping destination for residents of the regions."The fair has become a good place for shopping. We come here on weekends because prices are lower here. Even if we manage to save 5–10 thousand tenge, it is noticeable for the family budget. And if you calculate the savings of all buyers, the amount turns out to be significant," noted Aktau resident Sabit Sapargul. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1299260?lang=ru

Today, under the chairmanship of the region's akim Murat Ergeshbayev, a meeting was held to discuss the current state of irrigation water supply and the irrigation system in the city of Kyzylorda, as well as plans for the upcoming period.«It is important to conduct a full analysis of water resources, clarify the volume required for the city, and consider the possibility of supplying water for the next year. It is necessary to ensure a regular supply of irrigation water to the green zone near the airport and at the entrance to the village of Belkol, as well as to carry out tree planting there.Conduct a complete inventory of the ditch systems and submit specific project and financial proposals for areas experiencing water shortages. Develop a clear plan for the phased expansion of territories covered by irrigation water. Organize the planting of seedlings and their watering», – said Murat Nalkhozhayevich.Currently, irrigation water is supplied to the city territory through 22 pumping units at 15 points. Four of them were installed this year. The total length of the ditch systems is 98.8 kilometers, covering 68 streets. A large flume system with a length of 14.4 kilometers has been laid through the «Zhibek Zholy», «Sarkyrama», and «Kyzylzharma» canals, small flumes with a length of 68.6 kilometers are available on 39 streets, and a flumeless ditch system with a length of 15.8 kilometers exists on 26 streets. Water is distributed into the city ditches through pumping units at 6 sections.In the near future, a water well in the yard of school No. 217 will be repaired and put back into operation. This will allow providing irrigation water to a part of Korkyt Ata Street. For the purpose of greening the territories supplied with irrigation water, seedlings will be planted along M. Shokay, Kozha Akhmet Yassaui, and D. Konayev streets.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda/press/news/details/1297356?lang=ru
