In the Abay region, intensive efforts to identify unjustified price increases on socially important food products are ongoing. Monitoring groups are documenting cases of entrepreneurs artificially inflating prices, violating legal requirements and misleading consumers.Recent inspections have once again confirmed instances of unjustified markups. In Semey, an individual entrepreneur purchased Barskie salt for 108 tenge per kilogram but sold it for 150 tenge. This difference resulted in a markup of 39 percent, more than twice the established norm.Another case was uncovered at one of the city's social pavilions. There, buckwheat was purchased for 175 tenge and Akmarzhan rice for 350 tenge per kilogram. They were sold for 220 and 440 tenge, respectively. The trade markup was 25.8 percent, a direct violation of the law. Following an inspection, the entrepreneurs were fined.In the city of Kurchatov, Department specialists discovered a repeat violation. An entrepreneur purchased Barakat rice for 480 tenge and sold it for 580 tenge per kilogram, allowing for a 20.9 percent markup. A fine of 19,660 tenge was imposed for the violation.The Department also reminds that every retailer is obligated to ensure accurate and up-to-date price tags on store shelves. Violations of these requirements are regularly recorded. Since the beginning of the year, 17 administrative fines have been issued for missing price tags, incorrectly indicating prices, or indicating prices in currencies other than tenge. The total fines amounted to 480,000 tenge.Monitoring is not limited to retail outlets. Electronic invoices are also being analyzed in conjunction with the State Revenue Committee. This mechanism allows for tracking the movement of socially important goods, identifying unnecessary intermediaries and unjustified price increases.Containing prices for essential goods is a priority of state policy. According to Article 9 of the Law "On the Regulation of Trade Activities," the trade markup on socially important food products must not exceed 15 percent. Violations are punishable by administrative penalties under Article 204-4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Kazakhstan. For small businesses, the fine is 5 MCI, for medium-sized businesses 35 MCI, and for large businesses 150 MCI. For repeat violations, the fine doubles.Since the beginning of the year, the Department of Trade and Consumer Protection of Abay Region has issued 119 administrative decisions totaling 856,000 tenge for exceeding the trade markup by 15 percent. Monitoring efforts will continue to ensure the availability of essential goods and protect the rights of residents of the region.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1109737?lang=kk

19 ноября на заседании Правительства была представлена Программа совместных действий Правительства, Национального Банка и Агентства по регулированию и развитию финансового рынка на 2026–2028 годы. Документ определяет комплекс мер по макроэкономической стабилизации, снижению инфляции, расширению внутреннего производства и обеспечению устойчивого роста благосостояния граждан.  В этой программе особая роль отводится холдингу «Байтерек» как одному из главных инструментов экономической политики Правительства. С учётом необходимости значительного прироста инвестиций Холдинг совместно с банками второго уровня станет основным источником кредитов для реального сектора — как для инвестиционных проектов, так и для новых точек экономического роста и ключевых отраслей экономики.Правительство продолжит капитализировать Холдинг «Байтерек» на сумму 1 трлн тенге в 2026 году, чтобы расширять инвестиционные возможности и поддерживать приоритетные проекты в обрабатывающей промышленности и инфраструктуре. Со своей стороны Холдинг будет каждый год привлекать до 7 трлн тенге на финансовом рынке — как из внешних, так и из внутренних источников.В этом году Холдинг доведет общий размер господдержки до 8 трлн тенге. На сегодняшний день холдингом «Байтерек» оказана поддержка субъектам предпринимательства на общую сумму 5,7 трлн тенге. К примеру, из них около 1,7 трлн тенге направлено на поддержку порядка 9,6 тыс. проектов МСБ, а 860,3 млрд тенге — на поддержку 14 тыс. сельхозтоваропроизводителей. В результате было создано около 29 тыс. рабочих мест. Благодаря таким мерам ожидается прирост экономики на 1,3 процентного пункта.Холдинг будет увеличивать объемы кредитования, что даст бизнесу больше доступа как к оборотному, так и инвестиционному (долгосрочному) капиталу.В ближайшие годы Холдинг сосредоточится на проактивной инвестиционной работе — поддержке проектов, которые создают новые высокопроизводительные предприятия, увеличивают экспорт и снижают зависимость от импорта, усиливая развитие экономики. В результате будет сформирован пул из 15–20 крупнейших инвестиционных проектов в таких отраслях как ГМК, машиностроение, нефтегазохимия и химия, энергетика, туризм и пищевая промышленность, обеспечивающих наибольший мультипликативный эффект и способных существенно повлиять на качественное развитие отраслей и регионов.В агросекторе планируется активизация финансирования проектов по глубокой переработке продукции АПК. Это позволит увеличить долю переработанной продукции в АПК на 70%. Ежегодно в стране будут запускаться более 100 новых инвестиционных проектов и производств в перерабатывающей отрасли АПК.Для активизации инвестиционной деятельности в Холдинге будет создано единое инвестиционное окно — механизм, который позволит на одном месте проводить отбор проектов, правильно их структурировать, привлекать инвесторов, а также обеспечивать полное сопровождение и контроль хода выполнения.При этом Холдинг продолжит и расширит поддержку малого и среднего бизнеса. Для этого будут активнее использоваться гарантии по кредитам, а финансирование будет направляться на самые важные и нужные направления.Особое внимание уделят проектам по импортозамещению, поддержке отечественных производителей, а также развитию инфраструктуры в энергетике и транспорте. Такие проекты будут реализовываться через механизм «заказ на инвестиции» с учётом потребностей и особенностей каждого региона.Холдинг «Байтерек» усилит помощь компаниям, у которых есть экспортный потенциал, объединяться, находить новых трейдеров и продвигать свою продукцию на зарубежных рынках. Для продвижения продукции АПК на зарубежные рынки создается Фонд «ADAL».Также планируется усилить присутствие Казахстана на приграничных рынках. Это включает продвижение услуг компаний Холдинга — например, ипотечных продуктов Отбасы банка.Чтобы казахстанские производители могли успешнее конкурировать за рубежом, предусмотрено финансирование экспортных проектов в иностранной валюте. Это позволит бизнесу работать на внешних рынках на более выгодных условиях.Реализация новой модели работы существенно усилит влияние холдинга «Байтерек» на ускоренное и качественное развитие экономики, подтверждая, что обновлённая инвестиционная политика Холдинга станет одним из ключевых драйверов экономического роста страны.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1109518?lang=kk
