Of these, 11.7 million were provided electronically, and 9.4 million were automated. Thus, the share of services provided in automated, electronic, and remote formats amounted to 98.8% of the total.

Astana, May 28, 2026 — Mutually beneficial economic partnership, technological cooperation, and ensuring the reliability of regional fuel supplies are becoming the key priorities for the EAEU countries. The prospects for the development of common energy markets were presented by the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Yerlan Akkenzhenov, on the sidelines of the Eurasian Economic Forum 2026.The Minister spoke at the panel session «Eurasian Energy Integration: Vector of Movement». In his view, the development of partnership relations and the creation of common trade mechanisms should be based on reliability, regulatory predictability, and mutual benefit.Speaking about the gradual formation of common markets for oil, petroleum products, gas, and electricity, the Minister emphasized a constructive macroeconomic approach. The development of this transparent energy space is regarded as a confident step toward future macro-regional integration. At the same time, in order to achieve effective results, states will need to coordinate this work while taking into account each other’s national interests, existing bilateral agreements, and the unconditional priority of ensuring reliable energy supplies for their own citizens and industries.«We see broad prospects for Eurasian energy integration provided that truly sustainable, realistic, and mutually beneficial mechanisms are developed. It is precisely pragmatic and carefully calculated joint work that creates the long-term foundation of our Union, protecting the system from risks associated with the artificial or formal acceleration of common market processes», emphasized Yerlan Akkenzhenov.A key foundation for building a common and sustainable energy architecture is the strong practical cooperation already established among the member states. Today, Kazakhstan is effectively cooperating with the Russian Federation in the oil and gas sector and the electric power industry, while also successfully coordinating the water-energy balance with the Kyrgyz Republic. At the same time, expert exchanges on infrastructure modernization are being developed with partners from Belarus and Armenia.Another important factor for the stability of future EAEU markets could be the development of advanced technologies. The Year of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence announced by the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, has become a practical reality for Kazakhstan’s energy sector. Today, AI technologies are being actively introduced across all key areas of the country’s energy industry. Building on this experience, the Ministry calls on its partners to scale up modern IT solutions across the entire EAEU common market. The use of artificial intelligence elements in dispatch forecasting will enable member states to safely and efficiently manage their energy systems during peak load periods while fully maintaining the balance of national interests.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/energo/press/news/details/1229235?lang=ru

New York, 26 May 2026 – First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan Yerzhan Ashikbayev took part in a high-level open debate of the United Nations Security Council, held under the presidency of China, on «Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the Charter of the United Nations and Strengthening the International System with the United Nations at its Centre».In his statement, the representative of Kazakhstan noted that the debate was taking place against the backdrop of growing uncertainty, the erosion of international law and the selective application of legal norms. In this regard, he underscored the full support of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan K.Tokayev for the central role of the United Nations, as well as his call on world leaders to approach issues of international peace and security with a strong sense of responsibility.The Kazakh side emphasized that the United Nations remains an indispensable mechanism for ensuring sustainable peace and development. In this context, Kazakhstan’s efforts to strengthen regional confidence-building and mutually beneficial cooperation in Central Asia, facilitate peace processes, promote nuclear disarmament and interreligious dialogue, and contribute to United Nations peacekeeping activities were highlighted.Particular attention was paid to the need to reform the United Nations, including by adapting the Security Council to contemporary realities.

Kazakhstan’s initiatives to establish a Global Coalition on Primary Health Care and an International Agency for Biological Safety were also mentioned.The First Deputy Minister reaffirmed Kazakhstan’s readiness to continue working with all Member States to advance multilateral cooperation in a qualitative manner and to further strengthen the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.Also on the sidelines of the UN Security Council meeting, the Kazakh diplomat held meetings with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Jeenbek Kulubaev to discuss prospects for developing bilateral cooperation and key areas of interaction on multilateral platforms.  Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa/press/news/details/1229122?lang=ru

On May 26, a meeting dedicated to the implementation of the Goods Delivery Expectation Confirmation System (GDECS) in the Russian Federation was held at the Eurasian Economic Commission. The discussion was initiated by the Kazakh side. The event was attended by representatives of government bodies, businesses, and industry associations of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. In total, more than 100 representatives from various economic sectors participated in the discussion.During the meeting, representatives of the Federal Tax Service and the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation provided clarifications on the approaches and procedures for applying the new system, and also answered participants' questions related to practical aspects of delivering goods to the territory of the Russian Federation.GDECS is a national system for confirming the expectation of goods delivery, being introduced in the Russian Federation for the movement of goods from EAEU member states. The system provides for preliminary registration of the delivery, issuance of a document on the upcoming delivery of goods (DUDG), payment of a security deposit for indirect taxes, and obtaining a QR code confirming the presence of the necessary information in the system.GDECS was introduced by Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 101-FZ dated April 17, 2026 "On the National System for Confirming the Expectation of Goods Delivery," as well as accompanying amendments to the tax legislation of the Russian Federation. Starting April 1, 2026, the system is applied in a pilot mode, and from June 1, 2026, a transition to mandatory application is envisaged.According to information from the Russian side, the implementation of the system is aimed at increasing the transparency of trade turnover, ensuring the full payment of indirect taxes, and enhancing the traceability of goods at all stages of their circulation. At the same time, key control procedures are shifted to the stage before border crossing. During the discussion, business representatives raised questions regarding the system registration procedure, document processing timelines, specifics of applying security deposits, and the potential impact of the new requirements on logistics and delivery times. Relevant clarifications were provided to the participants on the issues raised.It was separately noted that the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation envisions a phased and maximally soft approach to applying the new requirements. In particular, mobile groups have been established at 30 checkpoints on the Kazakh-Russian route and at 11 sections of the Belarusian-Russian border to support the system's implementation, where consulting and practical support for foreign economic activity participants will be provided.Given the significant volume of mutual trade between Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation, the functioning of GDECS is of great importance for a wide range of market participants. According to the results of 2025, the volume of Kazakhstan's exports to the Russian Federation amounted to approximately 8.1 billion US dollars. A substantial part of the deliveries is carried out by road transport, which is directly subject to the new system.The meeting participants emphasized the importance of continuing an open dialogue between government bodies and the business community to ensure the timely adaptation of foreign economic activity participants to the new conditions of mutual trade within the EAEU.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1229119?lang=ru

Today, under the chairmanship of regional Akim Kumar Aksakalov, a meeting of the regional akimat was held, dedicated to the completion of the 2025–2026 academic year, as well as the organization of children's summer recreation, leisure, and employment during the holidays.Organizing summer recreation and employment for schoolchildren is an important task.

This year, in the Mendykarinsky district, the 'Allur' plant will begin the restoration of the former 'Solnechny' camp. Here, the enterprise's employees will be able to relax with their families. In the future, the company plans to open a year-round commercial camp for children. Such work needs to be carried out in all cities and districts," noted the regional akim.All summer recreation facilities must comply with sanitary and fire safety requirements. The programs of out-of-town and school-based camps should include sports, creative, and developmental activities, be meaningful and diverse."We have tested, within the framework of forums and various events, industrial tours to machine-building plants in the city of Kostanay. Currently, the issue of transferring these tours to tour operators is being considered. These tours must be included in the summer vacation plans. In the future, such events will help children with career guidance and choosing a profession. Children's summer recreation should be not only interesting but also safe," noted the head of the region.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1228717?lang=ru

Ерлан Сагнаев встретился с бизнес-сообществом Карагандинской области. В открытом диалоге приняли участие более 150 представителей бизнеса, отраслевых ассоциаций, НПП «Атамекен» и государственных органов.В фокусе внимания участников оказались вопросы, которые ежедневно волнуют бизнес: совершенствование налогового администрирования, доступность госзакупок, развитие транспортной логистики, поддержка АПК и строительного сектора.«Малый и средний бизнес играет ключевую роль в экономике Карагандинской области - обеспечивает стабильную занятость и формирует значительную часть доходов региона. Наша задача как министерства - создать максимально комфортные условия для ведения дела, повысить эффективность мер государственной поддержки и обеспечить их стопроцентную доступность», - подчеркнул Ерлан Сагнаев, открывая встречу.Карагандинский регион демонстрирует уверенную динамику развития предпринимательства. На сегодняшний день здесь действует порядка 94,4 тыс. субъектов МСП, обеспечивающих работой 246,4 тыс. человек (почти половину экономически активного населения).По итогам 2025 года доля МСП в валовом региональном продукте выросла до 23,2%, а объем произведенной ими продукции достиг 4,9 трлн тенге (по сравнению с 3,6 трлн тенге в 2024 году). Налоговые поступления от сектора МСП увеличились на 11,3%, составив 409,5 млрд тенге.Как сообщил заместитель акима Карагандинской области Ермек Алпысов, одним из ключевых стимулов для регистрации нового бизнеса и качественного роста числа предпринимателей стало применение специального налогового режима розничного налога. Благодаря этому число его плательщиков в регионе выросло со 139 до 4,1 тыс. - то есть почти в 29 раз.В 2026 году на финансовую и нефинансовую поддержку предпринимательства в Карагандинской области выделено 14,2 млрд тенге (11,6 млрд - из республиканского и 2,6 млрд - из местного бюджета). Выделенные средства уже активно работают: финансируются десятки крупных проектов, одобрены займы по программам «Өрлеу», «Кәсіпкер» и «Ауыл аманаты».Параллельно министерство масштабирует переход к проактивной сервисной модели взаимодействия. Вице-министр рассказал о внедрении новых стандартов обслуживания, отметив, что на базе региональных филиалов Фонда «Даму» уже запущены Единые фронт-офисы по всем программам Холдинга «Байтерек». Для предпринимателей из отдаленных районов запускаются мобильные фронт-офисы (специальные передвижные комплексы).Для бизнеса, столкнувшегося с операционными или финансовыми трудностями, создаются специализированные «реабилитационные центры» для комплексного сопровождения и восстановления стабильности предприятий.Формат встречи позволил участникам обсудить вопросы, требующие системных решений, включая усиление мер защиты отечественных товаропроизводителей (ОТП) и расширение их доступа к мерам государственной поддержки.Ерлан Сагнаев выразил готовность детально проанализировать практику применения инструментов поддержки на примере Карагандинской области. По итогам обсуждения вице-министр поручил сформировать реестр предложений от всех участников встречи - как от тех, кто уже использует господдержку, так и от тех, кто только планирует подать заявку, чтобы выявить и устранить возможные административные барьеры.В рамках рабочей поездки Ерлан Сагнаев посетил ряд региональных предприятий. Особое внимание было уделено ТОО «WEC Trade» - отечественному производителю экологичной бытовой химии. Основанная в 2016 году компания сегодня выпускает более 30 видов безопасной продукции, обеспечивая рабочими местами 40 специалистов и поставляя товары не только по всему Казахстану, но и на экспорт в Россию и Узбекистан.Производственные мощности предприятия позволяют уверенно обеспечивать внутренний рынок. На сегодняшний день бренд активно и успешно развивает каналы продаж через онлайн-магазины и крупнейшие маркетплейсы. При этом компания стремится расширить географию своего присутствия и войти на полки крупных торговых сетей страны, предлагая отечественным потребителям качественный продукт по доступной цене, который по своим характеристикам полностью соответствует лучшим мировым стандартам.Также вице-министр ознакомился с деятельностью интеграционного центра ОО «АСЕТ inclusive» на базе ИП Бекбаева и посетил инновационную компанию TEEZ - одного из технологических лидеров региона в сфере электронной коммерции и логистической инфраструктуры.«Сегодняшняя встреча дала отличную возможность открыто обсудить перспективные направления нашей дальнейшей работы. Все озвученные инициативы бизнеса и предложения по совершенствованию мер поддержки будут детально изучены для выработки конкретных системных решений», - подвел итоги поездки Ерлан Сагнаев.  Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1228987?lang=ru

This approach helped not only to clean polluted areas but also to popularize the culture of separate waste collection.Teams of 5 to 10 people were invited to participate. The campaign involved schoolchildren, students, volunteers, youth organizations, representatives of government institutions, as well as concerned residents of the region. Each team independently chose a name and a captain.During the competitive part, participants collected litter, sorted it into categories, and delivered bags to special collection points. One hour was allotted to complete the tasks.The collected waste was divided into several categories: plastic, glass, metal, as well as mixed and non-recyclable waste. A separate scoring system was provided for each type of litter. Teams received the highest number of points for collecting plastic, highlighting the importance of recycling this type of waste for the environment.The "Möldir Bulaq" environmental campaign became another important step towards fostering a responsible attitude towards nature and preserving the cleanliness of the native land for future generations.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1228590?lang=ru
