At a meeting of the headquarters for ensuring economic growth chaired by Vice-Prime Minister – minister of national economy Serik Zhumangarin, issues of development of east Kazakhstan and Pavlodar regions, as well as the agricultural sector, were considered.The share of agriculture in Kazakhstan's GDP is 3,9%. The task of economic growth of the industry for this year is to ensure +2% to last year's figure. For two months of this year, the volume of gross agricultural output increased by 3,2% and amounted to 434,1 billion tenge. It is planned to achieve the planned indicator through the implementation of approaches of long-term state support for subjects of the agro-industrial complex.According to Vice-Minister of Agriculture Azat Sultanov, an important factor in the availability of concessional lending for spring field work was the ability to receive loans through SEC (Social and entrepreneurial corporations)  in 2024. Now farmers can receive concessional loans for SFW through six channels: Agrarian Credit Corporation, SEC, second-tier banks, credit partnerships, regional investment centers and MFOs. To date, about 5 thousand applications have been received for a total amount of 367,3 billion tenge. And SEC are leading in terms of the volume of loans issued (39% of the total volume of funds issued).Along with this, the implementation of the guarantee program in the amount of 85% of the loan amount for spring field work for farmers with insufficient collateral base continues. For this year, 502 guarantees have already been issued for a total guarantee amount of 85,9 billion tenge, the amount of loans amounted to 101,1 billion tenge. For the entire last year, 401 applications were guaranteed for a guarantee amount of 80 billion tenge, the loan amount amounted to 94,2 billion tenge.In the field of food production, for two months of this year, there is an increase in the production of sugar (from 15,2 thousand tons to 65,6 thousand tons), vegetable oil by 26,7%, sausages by 12%, butter by 11,2%, flour by 6,8% and fermented milk products by 3,5%. For the further development of food production, a Comprehensive plan for the development of agricultural products processing is being implemented.Within the framework of the plan, 37 investment projects worth more than 30 billion tenge have already been commissioned in 2024. These are enterprises for the production of cheeses, meat products, vegetable oil, cereals, etc. In the next three years, it is planned to implement 58 investment projects worth over 176 billion tenge.«By analogy with lending for sowing work, it is planned to allocate 48,5 billion tenge at 5% per annum to processing enterprises to replenish working capital», — Azat Sultanov noted.Following the hearing of the ministry of agriculture, the Vice-Prime Minister set a task for the regions to continue diversifying sown areas, taking into account the recommendations of the ministry of agriculture.«It is necessary to switch to growing more demanded and highly profitable crops, this is almost the only way to achieve the fulfillment of the set indicator for ensuring economic growth in agriculture. Work on collecting applications for projects for processing and production of food products within the framework of the Government's order for investments is weak. All regions need to bring to the attention of entrepreneurs the possibilities of affordable lending through ACC», — Serik Zhumangarin emphasized.In the Pavlodar region, for january-february, short-term economic growth amounted to 5,9% compared to the same period last year. A pool of 85 investment projects until 2030 has been formed for 6,8 trillion tenge with the creation of more than 12,3 thousand jobs. Among them are 5 large metallurgical projects that will allow to increase the volume of production of the metallurgical industry in the region by 29,4% by 2028. This is the construction of two ferroalloy plants with a capacity of 160 thousand tons and 240 thousand tons, the Aksu Ferroalloy Plant with a capacity of 89,6 thousand tons, a plant for the production of technical silicon with a volume of 35 thousand tons, and the organization of ferroalloy production in Ekibastuz for 60 thousand tons.A significant share in the cost structure of metallurgical enterprises is occupied by electricity. At the headquarters meeting, Deputy Akim of the Pavlodar region Dauren Zhambaybek noted that the unified electricity tariff currently in place, regardless of territorial remoteness and connection point, leads to a significant increase in the cost of production and an increase in the production costs of these projects. He raised the issue of the possibility of introducing a single preferential investment tariff for the duration of the investment contract for particularly large projects. In addition, the Deputy Akim indicated the need for financing the connection of engineering and communication infrastructure (ECI) for the implementation of the PC «Kazferro Limited» project, to the industrial zone of Ekibastuz and the SEZ «Pavlodar». The Vice-Prime Minister instructed the Committee for Regulation of Natural Monopolies to consider the issue of electricity tariffs, and to include the application for ECI connection in the general list of regional needs.In the NKR, economic growth rates for the past two months have already amounted to 11,1%. For 2024-2028, a pool of 51 investment projects has been formed with the creation of more than 7,1 thousand jobs. Of these, 15 were implemented in 2024, and it is planned to commission another 11 for 87 billion tenge this year, with the creation of more than 1,1 thousand jobs.Deputy Akim of NKR Rustem Kurmanov raised a number of issues that arose during the implementation of investment projects.First of all, the connection of the necessary engineering infrastructure to subzones and the expansion of the list of priority activities of the special economic zone «Qyzyljar», where 21 participants are registered. Another is the construction of a landfill for solid household waste in Petropavlovsk. This year, the service life of the existing landfill expires, and therefore it is necessary to build a new one. There is already an application for funding from the region, it is necessary to speed up its approval for the allocation of funds.Following the meeting, the Vice-Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Economy to prepare, based on the results of the first quarter, lists of engineering infrastructure and bureaucratic barriers in the regions that are hindering the development of investment projects, for prompt resolution at the Government level.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/965416?lang=kk

The Government hosted a meeting of the Headquarters for Ensuring Economic Growth, chaired by Serik Zhumangarin, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan – Minister of National Economy. Issues concerning the economic development of the East Kazakhstan and Abai regions, as well as the growth potential of the IT sector, were addressed.Akim of Abai Region, Berik Uali, provided information on the main indicators of the region's economic growth. Over the first 2 months of this year, growth was recorded in agriculture (102,3%), construction (112,7%), domestic trade (109,5%), transport (107,1%), and communications (108,9%). The volume of attracted investments since the beginning of the year amounted to 31 billion tenge, of which 83,8% were non-budgetary funds.A pool of 27 investment projects totaling 2,7 trillion tenge, creating 8,4 thousand jobs, has been formed in the region. Eight projects worth 30 billion tenge, creating 747 new jobs, are planned for implementation this year. These include the sunflower oil refining, bottling, and packaging plant of «Qazaq Astyq Group» LLP (7,1 billion tenge), the production expansion of «Semaz» LLP (10 billion tenge), the production of paper and cardboard products by «Kazpoligraph» LLP (6 billion tenge), two irrigation projects involving the installation of 18 sprinkler machines, the construction of a gold recovery plant for the development of the «Rodnikovoye» deposit by Eastern Gold LLP, and others.At the Headquarters meeting, the Akim of the region highlighted an issue with the project to construct the Eurasia Agro Semey LLP meat processing plant, specifically regarding the financing required to connect high-voltage power lines to the facility. Following the Headquarters meeting, this issue was included in the task list for the implementation of investment projects in other regions with similar requests.In the East Kazakhstan Region (EKR), where industry accounts for 40% of the gross regional product (GRP), efforts are actively underway to diversify the economy. The most promising areas, ensuring maximum productive employment, population income, and tax revenues from Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs), include tourism, processing of industrial and agricultural products, digitalization, and infrastructure. For 2025, the region's Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for investment in fixed assets is set at over 1,65 trillion tenge (2024 – 768,2 billion tenge). Over the first two months, 81,7 billion tenge in investments have already been attracted to the region. The region's investment portfolio consists of 111 projects worth 1,4 trillion tenge, creating over 7 thousand jobs. This year, the completion of 9 projects totaling 101,7 billion tenge (688 jobs) is planned. Among them are the modernization of foundry production at «VOSTOKMASHZAVOD» JSC (33,8 billion tenge), the construction of a gold recovery plant by «Kaskad-N» LLP (9 billion tenge), the second phase of oil production by «AltynShyghys» LLP (8 billion tenge), and others.The region's Akim, Nurymbet Saktaganov, voiced a number of barriers hindering the development of investment projects in the region. For example, «Bukhtarma Cement Company» LLP saw its cement production decrease by 22,8% over the year due to increased costs for railway tariffs and electricity. The company is requesting a temporary reduction in electricity tariffs and railway transportation charges during the period of equipment modernization. The Deputy Prime Minister instructed the Committee for Regulation of Natural Monopolies to explore all possible solutions to the issue.Also underway in the region is a project for the reconstruction and modernization of a particleboard production plant. The project will create over 500 jobs and contribute to the development of the woodworking industry, as the region's current demand for laminated particleboard is fully met by imports. The enterprise is already facing challenges with raw material supply. The Akim of the region raised the possibility of allocating raw materials directly from the State Forest Fund to the domestic producer. The Deputy Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources to address this issue promptly.The Akim also raised several other issues concerning projects in tourism, the construction of a cascade of small hydropower plants (HPPs), and the agro-industrial complex (AIC), which will now be handled by the relevant government departments.The share of information and communication services in Kazakhstan's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at the end of last year was 2,2%, and the physical volume index of the sector grew by 12,9%. Over the first 2 months of this year, strong growth was observed in the provision of Internet access services – up 13,1% compared to the same period last year. The number of mobile and fixed internet subscribers is growing, and the volume of consumed internet traffic is increasing by an average of 15-20% per year. To achieve the sector's economic growth target of 11% in 2025, the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry (MDDIAI) plans to sign several investment agreements this year. Furthermore, a series of projects in the telecommunications sector are envisioned, which will enable the achievement of the planned growth rate for the industry.As noted by Malik Olzhabekov, Vice-Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry, the country's IT sector is currently developing dynamically. The number of IT companies increased from over 17,9 thousand in 2023 to over 18,6 thousand in 2024. The number of trained IT specialists has exceeded 100 thousand people in recent years. The export of IT services surpassed the half-billion-dollar mark in 2023. According to preliminary data, this figure will reach $700 million in 2024. The volume of IT services provided grew from 946 billion tenge in 2022 to approximately 1,5 trillion tenge in 2024. One of the growth drivers is the international technopark «Astana Hub», where over 1,5 thousand IT companies are registered (425 with foreign participation).Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/964384?lang=kk

In 2023-2024, about 2 trillion tenge from various funding sources was directed towards rural development. The funds were implemented for projects related to social, engineering, and transport infrastructure, as well as ensuring public safety. Currently, the Ministry of National Economy is working on consolidating state support programs for rural areas, including «Auyl Amanaty» and «Auyl – El Besigi», into a single mechanism. This was announced by the Vice-Minister of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Bauyrzhan Omarbekov, at a press conference at the CCS.According to him, the implementation of these programs is proposed on a priority basis for promising villages.«Within the framework of the «Auyl – El Besigi» project, since 2019, 701 billion tenge has been allocated for the development of rural infrastructure. Including in 2,2 thousand villages, about 6,6 thousand projects have been implemented. As a result, 5,3 thousand km of engineering networks have been modernized, 7,9 thousand km of intra-settlement roads have been repaired, and social facilities have been built and reconstructed. This year, in about 500 rural settlements, more than 900 projects will be implemented; 176,4 billion tenge has been allocated for these purposes,» said the speaker.«Auyl Amanaty» is also an important initiative. New state support measures are being introduced, such as providing infrastructure, training entrepreneurs, creating capacities for storage, processing, packaging, and marketing of products. Currently, the issue of creating small industrial zones in the future is being discussed.To address the problem of personnel shortages, the «With a Diploma to the Village» program is being implemented. It is planned to expand the list of in-demand specialties in rural areas.For effective synchronization of projects and determination of specialization, a screening of rural areas has been conducted. Based on this, priority areas for the implementation of «Auyl Amanaty» projects and infrastructure needs have been identified.When considering the budget requests of akimats, all these factors will be taken into account. Priority will be given to projects aimed at creating cooperatives, developing the processing of agricultural products, supporting non-agricultural activities, and implementing a full production cycle – from cultivation to marketing. Work is also underway to automate the system for supporting the micro-lending process.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/963070?lang=kk

The Government has taken a number of measures to develop rural areas in the country. According to data for 2025, there are 6 179 settlements in the republic, in which 7,5 million people live.

На очередном заседании штаба по обеспечению экономического роста под председательством заместителя Премьер-министра РК – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина рассмотрели возможности увеличения объемов торговли, показатели экономического развития Шымкента и Жамбылской области и затрудняющие реализацию инвестпроектов вопросы. Торговля занимает второе место в экономике Казахстана, ее доля в структуре ВВП составляет 19,1%. За первые два месяца 2025 года индекс физического объема торговли составил 6% при плане 4,7%. Наибольший вклад в ИФО торговли обеспечили пять регионов, на долю которых приходится 73,6% всего объема товарооборота (за январь-февраль т.г – 3,5 трлн тенге). Это Алматы, Астана, Актюбинская, Атырауская и Карагандинская области.Оптовая торговля выросла на 6,6% (6,1 трлн тенге) за счет нефтепродуктов, автотехники, фармпродукции, зерна, сахара и напитков, розничная – на 4,7% (2,8 трлн тенге) за счет роста нефтепродуктов, строительных материалов, машин и оборудования, кондитерской, мясной и рыбной продукции. Как сообщила первый вице-министр торговли и интеграции Айжан Бижанова, в торговле преимущественно занят микро и малый бизнес (99 %), на долю которых приходится 66% всего товарооборота. Для обеспечения роста индекса физического объема торговли на уровне 113% в 2025 году необходимо достичь товарооборота в 87 трлн тенге (в 2024 году — 70 трлн тенге). Преимущественно за счет оптовой торговли, которая составляет 67,5% отрасли. Это будет обеспечено за счет увеличения добычи сырой нефти и ее переработки, газа, развития обрабатывающей промышленности и АПК, расширения линейки бытовой техники, роста производства фармпродукции. В целях роста несырьевого экспорта ведется работа по расширению географии экспортных поставок в Китай, Россию, Узбекистан, ОАЭ, Афганистан, Иран, Таджикистан и Пакистан. Для устойчивого присутствия на этих рынках планируется дополнительно открыть 10 торговых домов и партнерских офисов. Ведется интеграция в международную электронную торговлю через международные маркетплейсы. Розничная торговля составляет 32,5% товарооборота. В 2025 году объем розничных продаж прогнозируется на уровне 28 трлн тенге (+5,5 трлн тенге к 2024 году). Для стимулирования розничного рынка внедряются проекты «Digital Bazar» совместно с Халык Банком, расширяется перечень маркируемых товаров, развивается потребительское кредитование.Дополнительно обсуждены меры по наращиванию темпов электронной торговли в Казахстане, которая демонстрирует уверенный рост. По предварительным данным, в 2024 году ее объем составил 3,2 трлн тенге, увеличившись на 14%. В 2025 году ожидается дальнейший рост до 4,5 трлн тенге. По оперативным данным, за январь-февраль текущего года товарооборот на крупнейших маркетплейсах, охватывающих 85% рынка, достиг 0,7 трлн тенге. Для расширения возможностей электронной коммерции прорабатывается вопрос приравнивания продаж через Instagram к e-commerce. Также совместно с Kaspi.kz и Казпочтой запущена в тестовом режиме B2B-платформа для казахстанских и китайских бизнесменов по наращиванию оптовой торговли, где основными категориями товаров станут бытовая техника, товары для дома и продукция легкой промышленности. Реализация этих инициатив позволит дополнительно увеличить товарооборот страны на 1 трлн тенге ежегодно.В Шымкенте за первые два месяца этого года фиксируется уверенный рост основных экономических показателей. Объем инвестиций составил 102,1 млрд тенге, что больше на 68 % по сравнению с аналогичным периодом прошлого года, промышленность – 195,5 млрд тенге (рост на 13,4%), сельское хозяйство (7,4 млрд тенге, рост на 2,7%). Краткосрочный экономический рост достиг 15,7%, что позволило городу войти в тройку лидеров по стране. Инвестиционный портфель региона на 2025-2029 гг. состоит из 190 инвестиционных проектов на сумму 1,9 трлн тенге с созданием 25,9 тыс. новых рабочих мест. В 2025 году планируется запуск 51 проекта на сумму 181,9 млрд тенге. Аким г. Шымкент Габит Сыздыкбеков сообщил, что в 2024 году 19 предприятий города произвели фармацевтическую продукцию на 61,1 млрд тенге, это 35,7% от общего объема производства фармотрасли в стране. Однако для выхода на рынок продукции компании Dentafill Kazakhstan требуется регистрация в Министерстве здравоохранения, процесс которой занимает до 270 дней. Аналогичные сложности испытывает другое предприятие, подавшее в 2024 году 75 заявок на регистрацию лекарств и планирующее подать еще 35 в 2025 г.    Вице-премьер поручил Минздраву ускорить процедуры согласования по всем заявленным препаратам, чтобы предприятия могли начать генерировать доходы и дать вклад в ВДС региона.Первый заместитель акима Жамбылской области Нуржан Календеров сообщил, что за два месяца этого года экономический рост региона составил 12,5%. Промышленность выросла на 21,6% (188 млрд тенге), инвестиции – более чем наполовину (54,4% роста с объемом 62 млрд тенге), торговля – на 1,9% (120,6 млрд тенге).  Пул инвестпроектов области включает 82 проекта на 3,6 трлн тенге, из которых в 2025 году планируется ввести в строй 30 на сумму 175,2 млрд тенге с созданием более 1,1 тыс. рабочих мест.  Спикер также озвучил проблемные вопросы, затрудняющие реализацию отдельных крупных проектов.  В первую очередь – расширение перечня видов деятельности СЭЗ «Жибек Жолы» для включения обрабатывающей промышленности. Более 15 проектов ожидают вхождения в перечень.  Другой крупный инвестпроект ТОО «Qazaq Soda» по производству кальцинированной соды для запуска в строй ожидает подведение ж/д линий к субзоне для поставок сырья и отгрузке готовой продукции с места производства. Вице-премьер поручил Министерству промышленности и строительства РК до конца апреля внести изменения в Перечень приоритетных видов деятельности специальных экономических зон, а также оказать содействие в финансировании строительства необходимой инфраструктуры для предприятия по производству кальцинированной соды.  https://primeminister.kz/ru/news/pyatuyu-chast-struktury-vvp-v-kazakhstane-zanimaet-torgovlya-29829 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/961013?lang=kk

Проект разработан в соответствии с поручением Главы государства по улучшению условий для развития города Астаны и распространению передовых подходов на другие крупные города Казахстана.Заместитель Премьер-министра РК - министр национальной экономики Серик Жумангарин отметил, что документ направлен на решение ряда актуальных проблем в таких сферах, как земельные отношения, архитектура, строительство, миграция, реклама, экология и другие. Внесение изменений затронет 1 Кодекс и 6 законов, и включает несколько ключевых направлений.Одним из основных направлений является улучшение архитектурного облика городов, что требует решения проблемы хаотичного размещения наружной рекламы и вывесок.

Предлагается установить порядок переоформления прав на земельные участки, которые не могут находиться в собственности определенных лиц, а также внести изменения в Земельный кодекс, чтобы предотвратить манипуляции с земельными участками через аффилированные компании и обеспечить их использование для нужд города.В условиях урбанизации и миграционных процессов в крупных городах проект Закона предлагается утверждение норматива регистрации по месту постоянного и временного проживания на территории столицы, что означает, что маслихат будет определять минимальное количество квадратных метров на одного гражданина.Для улучшения доступности объектов городской инфраструктуры проект Закона предусматривает расширение полномочий маслихатов для утверждения правил обеспечения доступной среды для людей с ограниченными возможностями, а также установление норм для размещения защитных конструкций и регулирующих элементов в жилых районах.Проект также включает меры по сохранению «зеленого пояса» столицы, что имеет важное значение для защиты экологической обстановки города. Среди предложенных изменений - утверждение правил управления санитарно-защитной зоной и запрет на деятельность, которая может повредить экосистемам и ландшафтам зеленой зоны.Также в проекте предлагается улучшить регулирование работы штрафстоянок и расширить полномочия для их эффективного функционирования с учетом повышенных требований безопасности.Кроме того, проект Закона уточняет положения, касающиеся долевого участия в жилищном строительстве, устраняя лазейки, которые позволяли застройщикам обходить требования законодательства.Принятие данного проекта Закона позволит улучшить инфраструктуру городов, повысить доступность городской среды, а также создать безопасные и комфортные условия для жизни граждан. Законопроект направлен на устойчивое развитие городов и повышение качества жизни населения.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/951286

Almaty Mayor Yerbolat Dossayev expressed his opinion on the construction of the Congress Center, which will be located in the Tauly Kyrat microdistrict, above Al-Farabi Avenue.“The city’s new Congress Center will be state-owned. Funds will be allocated from the city budget for engineering infrastructure and improvement. In addition, funds from private sponsors will be attracted as part of social responsibility,” the mayor said at a meeting with the public.Yerbolat Dossayev noted that the purchase of land plots is being carried out in accordance with all legal requirements.“The purchase of land plots is carried out in accordance with the established procedure. Those who disagree with the proposed price can go to court. The necessary agreements have been concluded with some landowners and payments have been made. The main thing is that the main part of the land plots is already owned by the city. We will not violate the rights of residents under any circumstances,” said the akim.The city head said that Almaty currently does not have a Congress Center.“There is no Congress Center in our city, so we will build one. Some false information has been spread, rumors have spread that commercial real estate will be built in this area. I want to reassure all residents of the city: no commercial real estate will be built, only a Congress Center will be built. Since the Soviet Union, no such facilities have been built, except for the Palace of the Republic,” said Yerbolat Dossayev.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/947609

Almaty Akim Yerbolat Dossayev spoke at a meeting with residents of the Medeu district about solving infrastructure problems, providing remote microdistricts with water supply and sewage systems."Many of the issues raised earlier have been resolved today. Everyone has forgotten how much fuss there was on the Kamensk plateau last year. Now 50 thousand residents of the district are provided with stable water supply, this issue will not be raised again. This is a great achievement for me. This year we will carry out work in the western part of the district, and next year we will begin construction of the eastern part, including drainage systems and networks. Because residents use septic tanks, there is a risk of landslides. This issue is very important for me," said the mayor.As a reminder, remote microdistricts that previously did not have water and sewage systems were included in the implementation of large infrastructure projects in the Medeu district. Thus, in March this year, the construction of 50 km of distribution networks will begin in the western part of the Kamensk plateau microdistrict to provide 7 thousand residents with water and sewage systems. The work will be completed in September 2026.Also, this year, another 100 km of water pipelines and sewerage networks will be built in the Muztau, Sulusai, Atyrau, Alatau, Kishi Stanitsa and Tauly Kyrat microdistricts.One of the important projects was the commissioning of the reserve water supply system in July 2024. Today, this system supplies 32 thousand cubic meters of water per day from Talgar groundwater sources, providing 50 thousand residents of the Samal, Koktobe and Tauly Kyrat microdistricts with stable water.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/947611

Almaty Akim Yerbolat Dossaev told about the construction of the new Congress Center during a meeting with residents of the Medeu district.The city mayor noted that such impressive facilities have not been built in Almaty since Soviet times.“The proposed new Congress Center will be state-owned.

There is no free state land fund in Almaty, so we are forced to buy land to extend roads, develop social infrastructure, and public spaces. We do all this only within the law," said the mayor.Yerbolat Dossayev assured that the construction of commercial real estate on the site of the planned Congress Center has been excluded."According to the Land Code, we cannot transfer any of the land purchased with budget money to private owners.

During a meeting with residents of the Medeu district, Almaty Mayor Yerbolat Dossayev explained the mechanism for purchasing land for state needs.“It is said that the amount of compensation provided for the purchase of land is not enough to satisfy all the needs of the population. There are specific mechanisms for assessment established by law, but if the court awards more compensation in accordance with the law, the city will pay it. We will find the necessary funds, save. Most importantly, the city needs to develop. As the mayor of the city, I do not have enough state land funds for the development of the city,” Yerbolat Dossayev said at a meeting with residents of the Medeu district.The mayor noted that since his appointment in 2022, the akimat has been purchasing land only for the purpose of building roads, developing social infrastructure and public spaces, and all this is being carried out within the framework of the law.“We cannot privatize a single acre of land purchased with budget funds in accordance with the Land Code. "I want to clarify this issue right away, there should be no idea that the akimat can buy land and give it to someone else. This is strictly prohibited by the Land Code, we have no right to take such action," the city akim said.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/947615
