По данным Национального Банка, в  I полугодии 2026 года текущий счет платежного баланса Казахстана сложился с профицитом 2,4 млрд долларов, или 1,6% ВВП.Для сравнения: по итогам 2025 года дефицит текущего счета составлял 13,1 млрд долларов. Основным фактором улучшения стало опережение темпов роста экспорта над импортом.Что означает профицит текущего счетаТекущий счет платежного баланса отражает внешнеэкономические операции страны, включая торговлю товарами и услугами, а также движение доходов и текущих трансфертов.Профицит означает, что поступления по текущим операциям превышают выплаты за рубеж. Это снижает потребность экономики во внешнем финансировании.Динамика платежного балансаВ течение 2016–2025 годов текущий счет Казахстана был дефицитным в девяти из десяти лет. Средний дефицит составлял около 2,7% ВВП. При этом торговля товарами ежегодно обеспечивала профицит, значительная часть которого компенсировалась выплатами доходов иностранным инвесторам.После профицита в 6,4 млрд долларов в 2022 году текущий счет вновь стал дефицитным: 8,3 млрд долларов в 2023 году, 6,8 млрд — в 2024 году и 13,1 млрд — в 2025 году. На результат 2025 года повлияли снижение цен на нефть и высокий объем импорта.В I полугодии 2026 года сальдо текущего счета улучшилось почти на 6 млрд долларов: с дефицита 3,6 млрд долларов годом ранее до профицита 2,4 млрд долларов. Основное улучшение пришлось на II квартал, когда профицит составил 3,2 млрд долл. США.Таким образом, после трех дефицитных лет текущий счет вновь вышел в положительную зону.Значение профицита для экономикиУвеличивается приток валюты в экономику. В I полугодии ключевую роль сыграло расширение товарного профицита более чем в 2 раза – с 7,7 до 16,2 млрд долл. США. Превышение экспортных поступлений над расходами по импорту, услугам и доходам позволяет в большей степени покрывать внешние расходы собственными валютными доходами, снижая зависимость от внешних заимствований и притока капитала. Уменьшение потребности во внешнем финансировании  снижает уязвимость экономики  к оттоку иностранного капитала и ухудшению условий на мировых финансовых рынках.Укрепляется внешняя устойчивость. Устойчивое предложение валюты от экспортеров снижает давление на валютный рынок и создает условия для накопления внешних активов. Роль государства в формировании платежного балансаГосударство влияет на состояние платежного баланса через управление внешними финансовыми ресурсами, создание условий для инвестиций и проведение экономической политики.Прямое участие связано с управлением резервными активами Национального Банка, средствами Национального фонда и внешними заимствованиями. Косвенное — с формированием инвестиционного климата, привлечением прямых иностранных инвестиций, денежно-кредитной и валютной политикой. Экспорт: рост поставок и увеличение несырьевой составляющейПо данным Нацбанка, в I полугодии 2026 года экспорт товаров по методологии платежного баланса вырос на 27,1%, до 48,5 млрд долларов. Положительная динамика отмечена более чем по 80% товарных позиций.По данным Бюро национальной статистики, за этот же период увеличились поставки меди и медных катодов на 58%, медных руд и концентратов — на 42,9%, урана — на 15,1%, пшеницы — на 28,2%. Экспорт серы вырос в 2,9 раза, серебра — в 2,4 раза.По итогам семи месяцев рост продолжился: экспорт товаров увеличился на 15,8%, до 50,9 млрд долларов. Положительное сальдо внешней торговли достигло 14 млрд долларов, превысив прошлогодний показатель на 5,4 млрд долларов.На фоне роста обрабатывающей промышленности на 9% несырьевой экспорт увеличился на 19,5%, до 18,6 млрд долларов.Экспорт сельскохозяйственной продукции вырос на 34,8%, с 3,7 до 5 млрд долларов. Основной вклад обеспечили пшеница (+25,5%), подсолнечное масло (+49,1%), корма для животных (+68,2%), семена льна (рост в 2,2 раза) и мука (+37,1%). На эти позиции приходится около 60% аграрного экспорта. Импорт: увеличение закупок для производства при снижении потребительского ввозаВ I полугодии 2026 года рост импорта сопровождался изменением его структуры: увеличились закупки оборудования и промежуточных товаров, тогда как ввоз потребительских товаров сократился. Сопоставление данных Национального Банка и БНС показывает, что такая динамика совпадает с расширением инвестиций и выпуска в обрабатывающей промышленности.По данным Бюро национальной статистики, импорт товаров вырос на 5,5%, до 31,5 млрд долларов. Почти половину его объема — 47,6% — составили промежуточные товары. Их импорт увеличился на 14%, до 15 млрд долларов. Доля потребительских товаров составила 26,5%, снизившись на 10,5%.  При этом импорт потребительских непродовольственных товаров в первом полугодии  снизился на 15,4%, составив 5,6 млрд долл. США.По методологии платежного баланса Национального Банка импорт увеличился на 6,2%, до 32,3 млрд долларов. Темпы роста импорта были более чем в четыре раза ниже темпов роста экспорта. По оценке Нацбанка, закупки промежуточных товаров выросли на 13,8%, а импорт непродовольственных потребительских товаров сократился на 11,2%.Импорт инвестиционных товаровИмпорт инвестиционных товаров вырос на 10,6%, до 8,1 млрд долл. США. Увеличение закупок оборудования сопровождается ростом капитальных вложений в промышленность. В частности, вырос импорт электрогенераторных установок на 83%, машин и устройств для подъема, перемещения, погрузки и разгрузки – на 70,1%, оборудования для сортировки и измельчения грунта — в 2,1 раза.Импорт промежуточных товаровРост закупок производственных ресурсов обеспечен увеличением импорта природного газа на 96,3%, турбореактивных двигателей и газовых турбин — в 2,7 раза, нефтепродуктов — на 41,6%, урана — в 2,6 раза и золота — в 6 раз.Производственную направленность закупок подтверждает динамика капитальных вложений. По данным БНС, инвестиции в основной капитал увеличились в реальном выражении на 9,6%, до 9,5 трлн тенге. В обрабатывающей промышленности рост составил 33,3%, до 1,43 трлн тенге, или 15% общего объема инвестиций.Одновременно выпуск обрабатывающей промышленности увеличился на 9,8%, машиностроения — на 23,1%, химической промышленности — на 20,7%.Увеличение импорта оборудования связано в том числе со строительством новых предприятий, расширением действующих производств и технологическим обновлением. Экономический эффект таких вложений проявляется по мере ввода новых мощностей.Импорт потребительских товаров В I полугодии импорт потребительских товаров снизился на 10,5%, до 8,3 млрд долларов. Сократились поставки легковых автомобилей на 21,9%, лекарственных средств — на 18,7%, чемоданов и сумок — на 49,4%, женской текстильной одежды — на 38,9%, кондиционеров — на 34,3%.По данным Национального Банка, снижение импорта непродовольственных потребительских товаров продолжается 11 кварталов подряд, начиная с IV квартала 2023 года.Сокращение ввоза легковых автомобилей происходит на фоне роста отечественного производства. В январе–июне выпуск легковых автомобилей увеличился на 37,2%, до 88 886 единиц, при сохранении продаж в официальном дилерском сегменте. Это указывает на частичное замещение импорта отечественной сборкой.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1307884?lang=ru

В Казахстане продолжает расти число социальных предпринимателей. По итогам третьего квартала 2026 года в Единый реестр субъектов социального предпринимательства включено 1 973 предпринимателей, что на 197 больше, чем кварталом ранее. Таким образом, за три месяца количество участников реестра увеличилось почти на 11,1%.Единый реестр субъектов социального предпринимательства формируется и актуализируется Министерством национальной экономики РК на ежеквартальной основе. Включение в него позволяет предпринимателям претендовать на предусмотренные законодательством меры государственной поддержки и развивать проекты, направленные на решение социально значимых задач.Социальное предпринимательство объединяет бизнес, который не только ведет предпринимательскую деятельность, но и создает общественную пользу: обеспечивает занятость людей с инвалидностью и представителей социально уязвимых категорий населения, оказывает социально значимые услуги или реализует проекты, направленные на решение актуальных социальных проблем.Формирование реестра осуществляется на основании решений специальных комиссий при местных исполнительных органах, которые рассматривают заявления предпринимателей и оценивают их соответствие установленным критериям. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1307824?lang=ru

The government has set purchase prices for grain for the 2026 harvest. For grade 3 wheat, they will range from 92,000 to 115,000 tenge per ton, depending on quality. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin announced this at a meeting with farmers in Arkalyk, Kostanay Region."Taking into account market conditions and proposals from market participants, the government has set purchase prices for grain for the 2026 harvest. Specifically, prices for grade 3 wheat are planned to range from 92,000 to 115,000 tenge, depending on quality. Therefore, the price remains at last year's level," said Serik Zhumangarin.The Food Corporation's purchase prices serve as a benchmark for the market. Financial support for farmers is provided through forward and direct grain purchase mechanisms, allowing agricultural producers to cover production costs and prepare for the next season.Another support measure will be a VAT refund for grain traders. The corresponding decision was made at a meeting of the Project Office for the Implementation of the Tax Code. Agricultural exporters will not be subject to any adjustments to the VAT amount claimed as a credit. The validity of VAT refund claims will be confirmed by a tax audit using the so-called "pyramid method," which allows for tracing the entire chain of goods and tax payments—from the agricultural producer to the exporter. If the audit results are positive, the exporter will be eligible for a full refund of previously paid VAT.Serik Zhumangarin also announced that the state program for compensating expenses for grain exporters will be extended through the 2026-2027 marketing year.Subsidizing grain shippers' transportation costs in previous years has allowed for the expansion of Kazakhstan's grain supply geography. In addition to traditional markets, Kazakhstan's wheat was purchased for the first time by Belgium, Poland, Portugal, Norway, the United Kingdom, and North African countries such as Morocco, Algeria, and Egypt. The Food Corporation also piloted grain shipments to Vietnam via a multimodal route through China.The implementation of these measures has helped stabilize grain prices and reduce the risk of dumping. Related industries such as logistics, processing, mechanical engineering, and services have also benefited.A separate section of the meeting was devoted to the development of livestock farming. There are currently 1,132 farms operating in three southern regions of the Kostanay region—Arkalyk, Amangeldy, and Dzhangeldy districts. The total sown area is 581,100 hectares, including 501,400 hectares under grain and 65,900 hectares under oilseeds. Over the past three years, the area under oilseed crops has increased by 1.3 times. Safflower is the main crop, accounting for 51,200 hectares, or 47% of the total area under this crop in the region.Farmers raised questions about the implementation of the "Zhailau" program, which was originally initiated by Kostanay region. Specifically, they discussed the requirements for mandatory pasture irrigation and the construction of livestock facilities. Farms in the southern regions are predominantly located in river and lake floodplains, where natural water sources are available, and many farmers already have the necessary livestock infrastructure. Therefore, it was proposed to allow for the inclusion of existing facilities when implementing the program requirements.Livestock breeders also proposed revising the maximum price for purebred cattle under preferential lending, as they estimate that the prices set by the program are below market prices.Serik Zhumangarin instructed the Ministry of Agriculture to develop the necessary amendments to existing documents and to develop a price guide for purebred cattle.Zhenibek Kenjebaev, Director of Zengi Group LLC, presented plans to establish a genetic center for embryo production in Arkalyk. Investments have already been secured for the project."This project is our chance to increase the number of purebred cattle in Kazakhstan to develop livestock breeding. By using embryos, we will be able to produce purebred cattle. At the same time, we are working on creating a logistics hub for livestock transportation in Arkalyk. We plan to professionalize the production and sale of purebred cattle," noted Zhanibek Kenzhebayev.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1301951?lang=ru

Подтверждение рейтинга отражает сильную фискальную позицию Казахстана, которая поддерживается низким уровнем государственного долга, высокой способностью обслуживания долга и накопленными валютными активами.Это все обеспечивает гибкость экономической политики и существенный запас прочности для смягчения последствий внешних экономических шоков.Агентство отмечает, что несмотря на снижение добычи нефти, экономика Казахстана продолжает расти за счет значительного вклада в рост ВВП обрабатывающей промышленности, строительства, транспорта и других ненефтяных секторов.Продолжающиеся инвестиции в цифровую, транспортную и энергетическую инфраструктуру будут в дальнейшем поддерживать  среднесрочный экономический рост, углубляя сложность экономики. По оценке Агентства, несырьевые сектора останутся основными драйверами роста.По мнению Moody’s, налоговые реформы будут способствовать укреплению фискальной устойчивости за счет расширения ненефтяной доходной базы бюджета.В целом, дальнейшая диверсификация экономики в совокупности с налоговой реформой, инвестициями в цифровую, транспортную и энергетическую инфраструктуру улучшают фискальные перспективы и возможности для дальнейшего экономического роста.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1301032?lang=ru

This isn't just about improving our internal roads and railways. We need to ensure that all these roads are profitable for us and our neighboring countries," noted Serik Zhumangarin.The World Bank confirmed its readiness to continue working with the Kazakh side on infrastructure financing mechanisms, taking into account international experience. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1300506?lang=ru

At a meeting of the Economic Growth Headquarters chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin, preliminary results of economic growth for the first nine months were reviewed.The main drivers of GDP growth remain construction, manufacturing, transportation and warehousing, trade, and agriculture.In the manufacturing industry, the volume of physical volume growth is expected to continue in January–September. The main contributors are mechanical engineering and the chemical industry.In the first eight months of 2026, passenger car production in mechanical engineering increased by 34.2%, reaching 117,200 units. Production of trucks and special-purpose vehicles increased by 18.5%, railway platforms by 76.6%, and passenger cars by 40.9%. In the chemical industry, sulfuric acid production increased by 4%, polypropylene by 24.5%, and ammophos by 10.3%.Meanwhile, the volume of physical volume growth in metallurgy remains at 97.5%. Measures are being taken to expand the raw material base to improve these indicators. Negotiations are underway with potential suppliers both domestically and internationally.Serik Zhumangarin heard a report on the measures taken by the Ministry of Industry and Construction, jointly with the Ministry of Trade and Integration, to provide enterprises with additional raw materials. Following the discussions, he instructed that efforts to expand the raw material base for the metallurgical industry be continued.Positive momentum continues in construction. From January to August, construction volume amounted to 6.1 trillion tenge, or 115.6% compared to the same period last year. Growth was recorded in 18 regions. An increase in construction volume is projected for the first nine months. At the same time, growth in housing construction continues: 11.3 million square meters of housing were commissioned in the first eight months, a 3.6% increase compared to last year. A total of 12.8 million square meters of housing is projected for the first nine months.The transport and logistics sector also maintains positive momentum. Rail transportation of grain and coal will contribute primarily to the growth in freight traffic. Grain transportation volumes reached 13.6 million tonnes, an increase of 3 million tonnes, coal by 1.1 million tonnes, and iron ore by 2.8 million tonnes. Continued growth will also be supported by sustained oil and gas transportation volumes and the implementation of infrastructure projects.Trade continues to make a significant contribution to economic growth. The trade volume index for January-August was 106%, with turnover reaching 51.5 trillion tenge. Steady growth is projected for the first nine months. Wholesale trade contributed the most, reaching 34.7 trillion tenge, driven in part by growth in trade in metallurgical products, grain, and fuel. Retail trade turnover reached 17 trillion tenge, with the highest growth rates observed in food products.Regional trade development was also discussed at the meeting. The Deputy Prime Minister tasked akimats (regional administrations) with ensuring the high-quality implementation of regional trade development roadmaps in accordance with the Prime Minister's instructions.In the agro-industrial complex, steady growth in agriculture is expected for the period from January to September. This positive trend is projected to continue through the end of the year. Crop production will provide the main contribution due to an increase in the gross oilseed harvest, which is higher than last year's harvest rate. In livestock farming, growth will be supported by increased milk production due to the ramp-up of modern dairy farms, as well as increased meat production thanks to preferential lending for feedlots.The food industry is making an additional contribution to economic growth. Positive production trends are expected for the period from January to September due to the launch of new capacity and the expansion of output at existing enterprises.In conclusion, Serik Zhumangarin emphasized the importance of ensuring that projected indicators are met across all key sectors by the end of the first three quarters."Our goal for the rest of the year is not to accelerate the pace, but to strictly adhere to the approved work schedules. Over the past eight months, virtually all key resources have already been allocated and the necessary reserves have been created. Now the challenge is to use them effectively, disburse funds in a timely and high-quality manner, and adhere to the planned work schedules in key sectors. The primary focus must be on production chains, ensuring that the established capacities are provided with the necessary resources and components," the Deputy Prime Minister concluded.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1300142?lang=ru

The Kuryltai adopted in two readings the law "On Ratification of the Framework Partnership Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank."According to the document, projects financed by the Bank will now be implemented based on its rules. Specifically, they must comply with requirements regarding anti-corruption activities, banking practices, fund allocation, financial control, information disclosure, procurement, and environmental and social standards.Thus, the Framework Agreement establishes uniform legal norms for future AIIB projects in Kazakhstan, eliminating the need to establish the same requirements for each new project and mitigating future legal risks.The main objectives of the document are to expand financing instruments for infrastructure projects, identify priority financing sectors, and streamline project implementation procedures.Ratification of the agreement provides Kazakhstan with the opportunity to attract investment to finance projects in transport, energy, digital communications, and other economic sectors.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1297196?lang=ru

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin visited the front office on its first day and learned about the new business support format.The unified front office combines the support tools of the Baiterek Group organizations using a one-stop shop principle. Here, entrepreneurs can receive advice, select the appropriate support tool, submit an application, and arrange project support right through to funding approval.Front offices will operate in all regions of Kazakhstan, based at Damu Fund branches. For entrepreneurs in remote areas and villages, mobile offices—buses carrying specialists—will be provided. This will allow them to receive the necessary advice and support without traveling to the regional center, including in regions where individual development institutions do not have their own representative offices.Front-office consultants intend to provide information on support instruments for Baiterek Group organizations:-Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund – concessional lending, interest rate subsidies, guarantees, and non-financial support measures for small and medium-sized businesses;-Development Bank of Kazakhstan – financing of large investment projects;-Qazaqstan Investment Corporation – direct investment and venture financing instruments;-Export Credit Agency of Kazakhstan – export credit insurance;-Industrial Development Fund – concessional and leasing financing for enterprise modernization."Today, our specialists not only work with the Fund's instruments but also help select solutions from other Baiterek holding organizations. Essentially, the Damu regional network is becoming a single point of access to a wide range of financial and non-financial instruments – from preferential loans and guarantees to investment financing, export insurance, and leasing," said Farkhat Sarsekeyev, Chairman of the Board of the Damu Fund.The technical launch of the unified front office took place in February of this year. Since then, consultants have received approximately 30,000 requests from entrepreneurs. The front office has supported and financed 1,250 projects.Business Support and Assistance Centers are also operating in pilot mode within the unified front office. Their purpose is to assist entrepreneurs in resolving specific issues requiring interaction with government agencies, financial institutions, and other organizations.The Centers' specialists conduct an initial analysis of the problem and identify possible solutions. If necessary, relevant government agencies, financial institutions, akimats, and Baiterek Group organizations are involved. The pilot project covers Astana, Almaty, Shymkent, the North Kazakhstan Region, and Aktobe Region."It's important that this support is available in all regions of the country. We plan to expand the 'Isker Aimaq' program to rural areas, making our approach to supporting entrepreneurs more targeted. This is where Damu's regional branches and mobile front offices play a major role. The consultants' role is to support businesses at all stages of their development. Another important area is Business Support and Assistance Centers. Entrepreneurs often face a specific problem but don't know where to turn or how to solve it. These centers are being created precisely for such situations. They are currently operating in pilot mode in five regions of the country," noted Serik Zhumangarin.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1296836?lang=ru

     В Астане презентовали пилотный проект Реестра обязательных требований в сфере предпринимательства, разработанный Министерством национальной экономики во исполнение поручения Главы государства, данного в Послании от 8 сентября 2025 года «Казахстан в эпоху искусственного интеллекта».Презентация проекта состоялась в Международном центре искусственного интеллекта Alem.ai. Проект представил вице-министр национальной экономики Бекболат Молдабеков.Система на основе искусственного интеллекта собирает требования к бизнесу из нормативных правовых актов в одном месте и помогает определить, какие из них относятся к конкретному виду деятельности.Сегодня требования к бизнесу содержатся в тысячах нормативных правовых актов: законах, кодексах, постановлениях и ведомственных приказах. Одна и та же обязанность может быть закреплена сразу в нескольких документах, при этом нормы регулярно меняются. В результате предпринимателю бывает непросто разобраться, какие требования необходимо соблюдать именно в его случае.«Предпринимателю зачастую приходится тратить немало времени, чтобы найти в большом массиве законодательства требования, которые относятся именно к его деятельности. Наша задача — сделать этот процесс проще и понятнее. Реестр с использованием искусственного интеллекта собирает необходимые требования в одном месте и показывает, на кого они распространяются, что именно нужно сделать, в какие сроки и как подтвердить исполнение. Это позволит бизнесу быстрее ориентироваться в законодательстве и сосредоточиться на своей основной деятельности», — отметил Бекболат Молдабеков.Искусственный интеллект анализирует тексты нормативных правовых актов и выделяет конкретные обязательства. Для каждого из них определяется, кто должен его выполнять, в чем заключается обязанность, при каких условиях и в какие сроки она действует, как подтверждается исполнение, какой орган осуществляет контроль и какая ответственность предусмотрена за нарушение.При этом окончательное решение по каждому требованию остается за человеком. Ни одна норма не получает статус подтвержденной автоматически. Уполномоченный государственный орган проверяет, редактирует или отклоняет каждое требование. Все действия фиксируются в системе, что позволяет отслеживать историю изменений.Как это будет работать для бизнесаРеестр станет для предпринимателя навигатором по требованиям законодательства. Пользователю будет достаточно выбрать вид деятельности по ОКЭД, указать БИН, отрасль или соответствующий сценарий и ответить на несколько вопросов.После этого система сформирует персональный профиль с учетом конкретной деятельности. В нем будут указаны необходимые разрешительные документы со ссылками на eGov.kz и eLicense.kz, требования на разных этапах работы бизнеса, а также общие обязанности в соответствующих сферах регулирования.На основе сформированного профиля предприниматель сможет получить справочное заключение в формате PDF. Оно будет подготовлено с использованием языковой модели исключительно на основе включенных в профиль норм, без дополнительных предположений. Документ носит информационный характер и поможет быстрее сориентироваться в действующих правилах.Таким образом, бизнес сможет сократить время на поиск необходимой информации, снизить риск нарушения требований и быстрее определить необходимые разрешения и обязательства для запуска или развития проекта.Реестр будет отслеживать изменения законодательстваСистема также будет следить за изменениями законодательства. При появлении новой редакции нормативного правового акта она сравнит ее с предыдущей версией и покажет, какие нормы добавились, изменились или были исключены.Требования из утративших силу актов будут исключаться из действующего реестра, при этом история изменений сохранится.Единая система поможет снизить регуляторную нагрузкуДля государства реестр станет инструментом анализа регуляторной нагрузки на бизнес. Система позволит выявлять требования, которые дублируются в разных нормативных правовых актах, а также возможные противоречия между ними.При анализе учитываются содержание норм на казахском и русском языках, числовые параметры, категория субъекта и юридическая сила документа.При изменениях в связанных актах либо выявлении возможных дублирований и противоречий система формирует рекомендацию о дополнительном пересмотре нормы. Окончательное решение принимает ответственный государственный орган.Это позволит более последовательно снижать регуляторную нагрузку. Государственные органы смогут видеть, где требования являются избыточными, какие сферы регулируются наиболее подробно и какие нормы требуют пересмотра.Система также будет отслеживать сроки пересмотра нормативных актов и заранее информировать ответственные органы о необходимости проведения соответствующей работы.В дальнейшем Реестр планируется интегрировать с другими государственными информационными системами и цифровыми сервисами. Это позволит использовать проверенные данные об обязательных требованиях в единой цифровой экосистеме.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1296636?lang=ru
