📌 During his working trip to the North Kazakhstan region, the Prime Minister visited the Sergeev waterworks, and also inspected the reconstruction of the 1st lifting pumping station and the dam embankment in the city of Petropavlovsk. These facilities play a key role in protecting settlements from floods and providing water to the local population. The purpose of the working trip is to monitor the implementation of the instructions given by the Head of State on coordinating preparations for the flood-prone period. Attention will be paid to the condition of hydraulic facilities and the introduction of modern digital solutions. 🔷 In the city of Sergeevka, representatives of key departments and services reported on the current work on repairing the waterworks. The Sergeev waterworks is the main regulator of the flow of the Yesil River. It continues to operate in cascade with the Petropavlovsk waterworks, creating a single water management complex that provides water supply to North Kazakhstan, partly Kostanay and Akmola regions, as well as guaranteed water supply to the Tyumen region of the Russian Federation. During last year's flood, the soil on the left bank was washed away as a result of the large amount of water and ice in the lower reaches of the Sergeev reservoir. There was no damage to the Petropavlovsk reservoir. ✔️ In 2024, the Government allocated 278.5 million tenge from the republican budget for the current repair of hydraulic structures and flood control measures at the Sergeev and Petropavlovsk reservoirs. More than 1.4 thousand m3 of large boulders were brought to these facilities to strengthen the embankments, dredging was carried out in the lower reaches near the Sergeev reservoir, and 940 m3 of soil mixture was excavated. 🔘 Shugayip Ibatullin, Director of the North Kazakhstan branch of the Kazsuchar RSE, reported that both reservoirs are currently in satisfactory condition and continue to operate in normal mode. This year, 14 additional events are planned. 🔘 In turn, the head of the Kazhydromet branch, Kymbat Mergalimova, said that the amount of precipitation will be above normal, especially in the southern and eastern regions. Heavy precipitation is expected in the middle and end of February, with a decrease in temperature in the first and second decade of the month. The risk of flooding remains high for areas located below the Sergeev reservoir."The Sergeev waterworks is a strategic facility in a flood-prone area, which is also responsible for providing water to the population. If the water level exceeds 2 meters, I will instruct the center and me personally to immediately notify them," — noted Olzhas Bektenov. It was instructed to continue strengthening water management facilities in the region, as well as actively introduce digital solutions, and conduct bathymetric surveys. ➡️ The Prime Minister was informed about the strengthening of control over the movement of heavy trucks along artificial structures, including the Sergeev and Petropavlovsk waterworks. For example, weight limits for heavy loads have been established, and mobile transport inspection stations are operating. 📱 @KZgovernment 📌 In Petropavlovsk, the Prime Minister inspected the reconstruction progress and got acquainted with the new technological equipment of the 1st lifting pumping station, which was catastrophically shut down during last year's flood. The pumping station, built in the 70s, has not been repaired for 50 years. ✔️ As a result of the completed reconstruction, 2 pumps were installed that can work on dry land and under water. Also, electrical cables were laid underground to protect against external influences and mechanical damage. These measures will ensure stable electricity supply even in case of flooding. 🔘 As part of the working trip, the Prime Minister got acquainted with the preparation of anti-flood measures, the readiness of equipment and materials for protection against possible flood waters. ✔️ Currently, a feasibility study for the project on the reconstruction of the Petropavlovsk bypass with the construction of a signpost across the Ishil River has been developed. This road is part of the Central-Northern Transport Corridor, which connects Shchuchinsk, Kokshetau and Petropavlovsk with the border of the Russian Federation, including one of the two bridges across the Ishim River in the regional center. During the flood season, it serves as a protective dam, but in 2024, due to the rise in water levels, it overflowed and flooded the Podgora district. ✔️ In order to prevent such unfortunate incidents and ensure the safety of residents, it is planned to reconstruct the bypass road by building a bridge over the Ishim River. The project, worth 71 billion tenge, was financed from the republican budget in the first stage, and 18 billion tenge was allocated. ➡️ The Prime Minister was also introduced to technological capabilities with AI elements. In particular, the “Unified Drone Infrastructure” project. Today, this system is actively used to ensure public safety in Almaty. Starting this year, it is planned to launch it to monitor the flood situation in the North Kazakhstan Region, and then expand it to other flood-prone regions. Also, unmanned aerial vehicles will be used to quickly transmit information, which will allow for quick receipt of information from the spot. This will allow for a correct assessment of the situation and coordination of the actions of services. 📱 @KZgovernmentSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/sko/press/news/details/938000

In addition, the depth of soil freezing in a number of regions is lower than last year. ➡️ Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Eran Nysanbayev reported that starting this year, in addition to the generalized hydrological forecast for the flood period, detailed information and advice are being provided separately for each region. They indicate the highest water level and flow, the volume of flow at hydrological stations and the estimated dates of the onset of flooding, indicating specific settlements located in dangerous zones. Also, based on data from weather stations, information is provided on the expected volume of meltwater in areas not covered by hydrological control. 🔷 Vice Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry Malik Olzhabekov reported on the introduction of digital solutions, such as the new Tasqyn flood forecasting information system. Flood modeling is carried out at 142 hydro stations on 128 sections of rivers. In addition, operational information on the amount of water released from reservoirs is automated and integrated with the GloFAS global flood warning system, which allows for early warning of threats.🔷 Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Nurzhan Nurzhigitov reported on the readiness of hydraulic structures in the country. According to the results of the research work carried out, today 74 facilities have been restored, 46 are at the repair stage, and design and estimate documentation for 18 has been developed. More than 1 thousand kilometers of canals, more than 153 thousand kilometers of river channels, including sections of strategic importance, have been cleaned, and repair work has been carried out at 205 facilities. Last year, the reconstruction of the Aktobe reservoir with a volume of 245 million m3 was completed. The restoration of 59 protective dams with a length of 312.4 km is nearing completion. The operating mode of all reservoirs was calculated based on the amount of water released. Active interaction with neighboring countries is being carried out within the framework of cross-border cooperation to ensure stable water use and prevent emergencies during the flood period.🔷 According to the Minister of Emergency Situations Chingiz Arinov, today there are 1,223 settlements in the flood-prone zone. To protect them, 576 kilometers of earthen embankments and protective dams have been built, 822 kilometers of drainage systems, canals and ditches have been repaired and built. 960 water-passage structures have been installed and replaced on road and railway routes. Dredging, bank strengthening and channel cleaning have been carried out on an area of ​​​​about 500 kilometers in dangerous sections of 74 rivers. In addition, flood prevention measures have not been fully implemented in all regions. This was revealed during a joint inspection by the Government Office and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The monitoring is carried out by the Emergency Situations Prevention Committee, which takes appropriate measures, including the administrative responsibility of akims.📌 The Prime Minister raised the issue of the passage of the flood season in the Kyzylorda region, taking into account the increased water release from the Shardara reservoir and the threat associated with the partial freezing of the Syrdarya River. Attention was also drawn to the Atyrau and Kostanay regions, which are at risk of flooding. The regional akims were heard on these issues. In turn, Deputy Prime Minister Kanat Bozumbayev made a comment. "It is too early to say whether we are ready for the flood season. There are a number of issues for which appropriate decisions have not been made to date. This is especially true for regions with a high risk of flooding. Now, first of all, it is necessary to check the actual level of preparedness for floods in settlements. I instruct to visit each settlement, comprehensively analyze the current situation and create regional commissions that will take appropriate measures. All akims will be directly responsible. Therefore, it is necessary to intensify work and implement the established measures against floods in detail,” — noted Olzhas Bektenov. Following the results of the meeting, the Prime Minister: 🔵 Regional akimats should prepare all necessary resources for flood prevention and elimination by March 1. It is necessary to remove snow from settlements earlier. Drainage channels and ditches should be prepared, and storm sewers should be cleaned. Settlements at risk of flooding should be secured with earthen embankments and special protective dams. It was instructed to prepare stocks of food, fuel, medicines, and equipment necessary for the livelihood of citizens, and to carry out preliminary explosion works on rivers if necessary. 🔵 The Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation should determine the volume of water accumulation in reservoirs, taking into account forecast data, and ensure constant monitoring of them. If necessary, it is necessary to take measures for the preliminary and safe release of water. In cooperation with border states, it is necessary to organize a regular exchange of information on the occurrence of threats in transboundary water bodies. 🔵 The Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry, together with the Ministry of Emergency Situations and other state bodies, should use the potential of the Tasqyn information system to identify and predict actions to carry out anti-flood work in areas prone to flooding. 🔵 The Ministry of Emergency Situations should ensure the readiness of civil defense forces and means for rapid response. Together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is necessary to develop algorithms for attracting rescue teams, including transportation by aircraft, and to work out issues of timely evacuation of citizens in case of a threat of flooding. It is also necessary to check the readiness of evacuation points and equipment for transporting people to a safe area. 🔵 State bodies should analyze the current legislation and, if necessary, make appropriate amendments. In addition, as in the previous year, a task was assigned to establish a republican headquarters to coordinate flood control measures and eliminate the consequences of floods. 📌 The Prime Minister instructed akims and departments to complete preparations for the flood season by the beginning of March. 📱 @KZgovernmentSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/sko/press/news/details/938009

A meeting of local business representatives with the Vice Minister of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Bauyrzhan Kudaibergenov was held at the Shymkent Chamber of Entrepreneurs. The main topic of the meeting was to discuss the upcoming tax reforms, including the increase in the value added tax (VAT) rate. The meeting was also attended by representatives of the akimat, the state revenue department, and maslikhat deputies.Opening the meeting, Sabira Adambekova, Director of the Chamber of Entrepreneurs, recalled that the President instructed to take into account the opinions of business when developing changes to the tax system.Bayrzhan Kudaibergenov, Vice Minister of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, reported on the government's proposals.“The VAT rate in Kazakhstan is one of the lowest in the world. Despite the fact that VAT is an important source of revenue, in 2022 it amounted to only 4 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), which is much lower than the average for countries with a relative income level of 7%. Strengthening the value-added tax will not only increase revenues, but also reduce dependence on volatile oil revenues and help finance the country's infrastructure and industrial development program," the vice minister said.State bodies are proposing to increase the general VAT rate to 16%, and for some industries to introduce a reduced rate of 10%. However, the exact list of these industries has not yet been clearly defined. In addition, it is planned to completely exempt agricultural producers from the tax. Reducing the tax burden for the healthcare sector is also being considered.During the meeting, entrepreneurs raised questions and suggestions on behalf of the business community in the region. They expressed concern about the increase in the tax burden.In particular, Diana Karamanova, a member of the Shymkent City Regional Council, head of the Keremet-Ontustik Nursery and Kindergarten LLP, proposed exempting institutions providing social services from VAT or providing tax benefits to make services more accessible. Anuarbek Maimakov, head of the "Association of Private Clinics of Shymkent City and Turkestan Region", noted that the proposal to introduce a 10% -20% VAT rate in the medical sector may complicate the availability of medical care.Daulet Kanashaev, member of the industry council under the Chamber of Entrepreneurs, noted the importance of taking into account the specifics of light industry when making changes to the Tax and Entrepreneurship Codes of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In particular, he proposed to establish the transition to the category of large enterprises only if the average annual number of employees exceeds 500 people, and to leave the average annual income indicators unchanged.During the meeting, many other entrepreneurs asked questions and made their suggestions.Bayurzhan Kudaibergenov, who answered all the questions, summed up the meeting and assured that all the suggestions would be collected, analyzed, and taken into account in the future work.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/shymkent/press/news/details/937741

From March 24, 2025, changes to the rules for registering subscriber mobile devices will come into force. The new rules apply only to new devices imported into the country after 03/24/2025. Phones that already exist in the territory of Kazakhstan and are included in the Identification Codes Database (ICD) will automatically be included in the "white list" and will continue to operate without any restrictions.These innovations are aimed at further improving the registration system and combating fraud, protecting consumer rights and increasing the security of using mobile devices.Today, about 3.7 million devices with duplicate IMEI codes are registered in Kazakhstan. Their illegal import poses a significant economic and social problem. Such a mobile device market makes it difficult to control the legal circulation of devices, contributes to the increase in phone theft and creates unfair competition.In order to address these issues, new rules have been introduced to ensure an open and secure mobile device market.The main innovation is the verification procedure for mobile devicesIn accordance with the new rules, a special system checks the following parameters during registration:The authenticity of the device's IMEI codeThe absence of the IMEI code in the GSMA international database of stolen, blocked or lost devicesThe device was legally imported into the territory of KazakhstanNote: The changes apply only to devices newly imported into the territory of Kazakhstan. Existing mobile phones that are already included in the ICD database will automatically be included in the “white list” and will continue to work without any restrictions.What lists will appear?As a result of verification, mobile devices are divided into three categories:White list - devices that have successfully passed verification, they will be registered without any restrictions.Gray list - temporarily allowed devices. Their owners must confirm that the device was imported legally within 30 days.Black list - illegally imported, counterfeit or stolen devices. They will be blocked.How will this affect users?Phones that are already in use in Kazakhstan will continue to work without any restrictions. No additional action is required.Buyers of new devices after March 24, 2025 can check the IMEI code on the imei.rfs.gov.kz website before purchasing the device.
