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

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

NU SCAI: How the University Is Preparing for the AI EconomyNazarbayev University officially opened its School of Computing and Artificial Intelligence (SCAI) during NU Open House Day. SCAI was established in response to Kazakhstan’s growing need for expertise and research in digital technologies and artificial intelligence. The new school brings together NU’s strengths in computer science, artificial intelligence, mathematics, and robotics, creating an integrated platform for education, research, and technology development.The opening ceremony was attended by Sayasat Nurbek, Kazakhstan’s minister of science and higher education.«Artificial intelligence can be seen as a new factor, a new force for Kazakhstan – one that can increase the efficiency of our national economy, production, and workforce», Minister Nurbek said. According to him, AI development is already moving beyond generative models. The next wave includes Agent AI – systems capable of autonomously performing complex tasks, and Physical AI, which brings artificial intelligence into the physical world. «We need to be ready for these changes, and NU is well positioned to help prepare for them», Minister Nurbek added. During the SCAI presentation, Professor Durvudkhan Suragan, Vice Dean for Research and Innovation, outlined the school’s goals and capabilities, noting that more than 2,100 students are now enrolled, including 281 master’s students and 99 PhD students. In 2026, 608 new students joined the school. Its faculty includes around 70 professors.SCAI plans to expand its academic portfolio with a Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence in partnership with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), a PhD program in «AI for X» focused on interdisciplinary research, and a master’s program in cybersecurity.«This field is being fundamentally reshaped by AI, and strengthening Kazakhstan’s digital security requires specialists who have a deep understanding of generative AI and its applications», Professor Atakan Varol, dean of SCAI, told participants at the event.The school is also advancing research in Physical AI, urban analytics, computational finance, and the application of artificial intelligence across different fields. This work is supported by NU’s computing infrastructure, including the Shabyt, Muon, and Irgetas supercomputers. SCAI also works closely with NU’s Institute of Smart Systems and Artificial Intelligence (ISSAI), drawing on computing resources, foundation models, and data for research projects.«When we created this school, we did not focus on the short-term outcomes. We also included Mathematics inside this school, and this is also something quite unique in the world, because we just don’t want only people who have practical skills, we want all of our students to have a very strong foundational base. If you look right now at the research teams of the top AI companies, you will see that most of them are from former International Mathematics Olympiad winners», said Professor Varol.SCAI also aims to accelerate the transition from research to practical applications. The school plans to expand its engagement with industry, support student technology projects, and create pathways for commercializing research. By 2030, SCAI aims to help launch more than 30 deep-tech startups.The school is also strengthening its international academic profile.

В Алматинской области завершился FIA Central Asia Drifting Cup – первый региональный Кубок FIA по дрифту в Центральной Азии. На трассе Sokol International Circuit за главный трофей боролись 20 пилотов из Казахстана, Кыргызстана, Узбекистана, Монголии и России.Соревнования проходили в течение трех дней. Сначала пилоты определили сильнейших в квалификации, после чего борьба продолжилась в парных заездах. Пилоты на высокой скорости преодолевали повороты в управляемом заносе. Судьи оценивали траекторию, угол заноса, скорость и точность исполнения.Отдельной частью программы стала церемония открытия перед решающими заездами. На трассу один за другим выехали участники Кубка – зрителям представили пилотов и их автомобили. Затем над Sokol International Circuit появились парашютисты с флагами Казахстана, Кыргызстана и FIA.Зрители получили возможность увидеть дрифт не только с трибун. Перед решающими заездами болельщиков пригласили непосредственно на гоночный трек, где можно было вблизи рассмотреть подготовленные к соревнованиям автомобили, пообщаться с пилотами и получить автографы.Главное зрелище началось с парными заездами. Рев моторов, плотный дым из-под шин и автомобили, проходящие повороты на высокой скорости в нескольких метрах друг от друга, сопровождали борьбу за первый Кубок FIA в регионе. При этом исход соревнований оставался открытым вплоть до финального заезда.В официальной церемонии открытия принял участие заместитель акима Алматинской области Гани Майлыбаев. Он пожелал пилотам удачи и отметил, что проведение первого регионального Кубка FIA по дрифту в Казахстане имеет значение для развития автоспорта не только в стране, но и во всей Центральной Азии.«Проведение в Алматинской области соревнований по автоспорту международного уровня — это большая ответственность и новый опыт для нас. В регионе уделяется особое внимание развитию спортивной инфраструктуры, проведению международных соревнований и поддержке массового спорта. Сегодняшние соревнования – это не только спортивная борьба. Они объединяют спортсменов стран Центральной Азии, дают возможность обмениваться опытом, совершенствовать профессиональное мастерство и развивать культуру автоспорта в регионе», — сказал Гани Майлыбаев.Председатель Комиссии FIA по дрифту Коичи Мурата поблагодарил федерации автомотоспорта Казахстана и Кыргызстана, команду Sokol International Circuit и специалистов, участвовавших в организации соревнований.Кульминацией трехдневной борьбы стал финал между двумя казахстанскими пилотами – Олегом Хридочкиным на Nissan 200SX №77 и Михаилом Паком на Nissan 350Z №35.В первом заезде Хридочкин шел лидером, а Пак – преследователем. Во время заезда на автомобиле Хридочкина отказал гидроусилитель руля. По регламенту команда получила пять минут на устранение неисправности. Механики попытались восстановить систему, однако полностью устранить поломку за отведенное время не удалось. Несмотря на техническую проблему, Олег Хридочкин вернулся на старт.Во втором заезде пилоты поменялись ролями: Пак шел лидером, а Хридочкин преследовал его на автомобиле с практически неработающим гидроусилителем руля. После двух финальных заездов судьи отдали победу Хридочкину.Сам пилот такого исхода не ожидал и после финиша успел поздравить Михаила Пака с победой еще до объявления окончательного решения судей.«После того как отказал гидроусилитель руля, я уже не думал, что смогу победить. Был уверен, что главный приз достанется моему сопернику Михаилу, и даже успел поздравить его с победой. Но судьи оценили оба заезда и присудили первое место мне. Можно сказать, выиграл за счет физической силы», — рассказал Олег Хридочкин.В итоге Олег Хридочкин стал победителем первого FIA Central Asia Drifting Cup. Второе место занял Михаил Пак, третье – Александр Бочкарев, выступавший на Nissan 200SX.Таким образом, весь пьедестал первого регионального Кубка FIA по дрифту в Центральной Азии заняли представители Казахстана.Победитель получил 6,5 миллиона теңге призовых. Михаилу Паку за второе место вручили 4,5 миллиона теңге, Александру Бочкареву за третье — 3,5 миллиона теңге.FIA Central Asia Drifting Cup совместно организовали Федерация автомотоспорта Республики Казахстан и Федерация автомотоспорта и дорожной безопасности Кыргызской Республики. Проведение Кубка дало пилотам возможность соревноваться в рамках официальных соревнований FIA, а судьям, техническим специалистам и организаторам — получить опыт проведения соревнований международного уровня.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almobl/press/news/details/1299946?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
