The Trade Committee of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan has summarized the results of its work for the first half of 2026. During the meeting, the results of measures to stabilize prices for socially significant food products were reviewed, as well as the effectiveness of the work of territorial departments.Thanks to the systematic work carried out, the growth rate of prices for socially significant goods in the country has significantly decreased compared to the same period — by 4.6 percent.This was achieved by strengthening state control, expanding the list of goods under monitoring, as well as support measures for domestic producers.A total of 3,907 administrative cases were registered, of which 2,391 are related to exceeding the permissible trade markup. As a result of the work of regional commissions, 2,322 violations were identified, and 164 inefficient intermediaries were eliminated from supply chains.In addition, as part of control measures, more than 46.5 thousand illegally imported eggs were seized, digital food vouchers were introduced, as well as price monitoring for 31 commodity items. 132 agricultural fairs were organized weekly. The modernization of 25 trade markets and the strengthening of executive discipline for the timely provision of information are under special control.At the same time, following the results of June, a decrease in the effectiveness of price control work was noted in certain regions.The work of Atyrau and North Kazakhstan regions in the field of state control was criticized. In particular, in the Atyrau region, only 12 violations were identified in the first half of the year, which indicates insufficient effectiveness of control activities. In addition, since the beginning of the year, not a single inefficient intermediary has been eliminated from the market in Abai, Aktobe, Karaganda, Zhambyl, Turkestan regions and the city of Astana.«We do not need meetings held for the sake of reporting. We need a concrete result — identifying violations, eliminating inefficient intermediaries from the market, and preventing unjustified price increases remain our main tasks», — emphasized Yernur Zhautykov, Chairman of the Trade Committee, outlining strict requirements for the quality of control work.Following the results of the board meeting, it was instructed to complete the modernization of trade markets by the end of 2026. The main priorities for the second half of the year are maintaining price stability, developing small "near-home" fairs, as well as implementing the digital food voucher project.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1270158?lang=ru

According to the National Product Catalog, as of August 2026, over 29 million product items are registered in the registry. The largest share of registered product cards belongs to clothing and everyday goods.An analysis of the distribution by OKTRU categories in the National Product Catalog shows a clear leadership of two industries. Clothing and everyday goods rank first by a wide margin – over 8 million registered cards in this category, which accounts for a significant portion of the entire catalog. In second place are vehicles and transport equipment – over 2 million products, followed by equipment and materials for engineering systems – over 1 million cards.The top 10 also includes construction products, furniture and interior items, food and beverages, building materials, jewelry, machinery and equipment, as well as printed products.This distribution reflects the structure of the Kazakhstani consumer goods market and confirms the demand for the NPC primarily among manufacturers and importers of mass-market goods – segments with the most dynamic turnover and a high need for product traceability.The National Product Catalog (NPC) is a centralized state database containing information on all goods produced and imported in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The mandatory use of the NPC as a unified state product reference book is enshrined in the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 215-VIII dated July 18, 2025.Each product in the catalog is assigned a unique identification code NTIN – a 13-digit number used at all stages of the product life cycle: during production, import, storage, sale, issuance of electronic invoices, and in the operation of cash registers. The code is issued free of charge and is valid indefinitely.As of July 1, 2026, the transitional period for implementing NPC requirements for the last category of market participants – small and micro-business entities, including convenience stores – has ended. As of today, all categories of trading participants – from large importers and manufacturers to small retail outlets – are required to use it as a unified product reference book.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1270147?lang=ru

Serik Aisin, Director of the Appeals Department of the Ministry of Finance, presented an analysis of the most common violations identified during the review of complaints by the Appeals Commission. Issues related to settlements with unreliable taxpayers, the application of tax and customs legislation, and the classification of goods were discussed. Participants paid special attention to the correct application of the provisions of the new Tax Code, which entered into force on January 1, 2026, including amendments aimed at simplifying the VAT refund procedure. The application of new VAT refund rules was also discussed. Representatives of the State Revenue Committee reported on measures taken to improve the quality of audits, including the use of judicial review, streamlining the procedure for reviewing taxpayers' written arguments based on preliminary audit results, and implementing automated mechanisms for monitoring the sequence of actions, adhering to procedural deadlines, and recording the stages of document delivery in accordance with the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Code. Summing up the meeting, the Deputy Minister of Finance noted that improving the quality of audit activities is impossible without systematic efforts to develop auditors' professional competencies, regular training, and organizational and motivational events.

В течение ближайших пяти лет на Капшагайском водохранилище будет проходить международный чемпионат «Формула-1 H2O». При этом проект не ограничивается лишь проведением соревнований. В регионе планируется строительство завода по производству спортивных катеров, а также открытие академии по подготовке пилотов водной техники. Кроме того, будет сформирована национальная сборная Казахстана, которая будет представлять страну на мировых гонках «Формула-1 H2O» на воде, сообщает пресс-служба акима Алматинской области.Аким области Марат Султангазиев вновь встретился с организаторами чемпионата F1H2O, чтобы обсудить вопросы проведения международного турнира на высоком организационном уровне.— Проведение международных соревнований такого уровня, как «Формула-1 H2O», будет способствовать дальнейшему укреплению авторитета нашей страны на мировой арене. Со стороны акимата области этой инициативе будет оказана всесторонняя поддержка. Совместно с Министерством туризма и спорта Республики Казахстан мы приложим все усилия, чтобы реализовать этот турнир как важный национальный проект, — отметил глава региона.В свою очередь представитель компании H2O Racing Раймондо ди Сан Джермано подчеркнул, что Казахстан является наиболее подходящей страной для проведения этих соревнований.— Мы хотим, чтобы международный чемпионат получил широкое развитие в Центральной Азии. Именно поэтому приняли решение проводить крупнейшие в мире гонки на воде в Конаеве — городе, который широко известен своим потенциалом в сфере водного туризма. Во время соревнований на Иссык-Куле мы официально объявили, что чемпионат мира 2027 года пройдет в Казахстане. В дальнейшем мы откроем академию по подготовке пилотов и будем обучать специалистов по управлению спортивными судами. Также намерены развивать федерацию этого вида спорта как в Казахстане, так и во всей Центральной Азии. Все эти проекты будут реализованы в городе Конаев. Кроме того, мы планируем открыть в Казахстане завод по производству спортивных катеров. Во время пребывания на Иссык-Куле мы увидели, что у Кыргызстана нет собственной национальной команды. Уверен, что в течение ближайших 12 месяцев Казахстан сможет сформировать полноценную национальную сборную, — заявил Раймондо ди Сан Джермано.Отметим, что в этом году этап «Формулы-1 H2O» прошел на побережье озера Иссык-Куль в Кыргызстане. За зрелищными гонками лично наблюдали президенты шести государств. Ожидается, что соревнования, которые в следующем году состоятся на Капшагайском водохранилище, будут транслироваться в прямом эфире почти для одного миллиарда зрителей по всему миру. Это, безусловно, станет мощным импульсом для развития туристического потенциала Казахстана и повысит интерес иностранных гостей к стране.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almobl/press/news/details/1268799?lang=ru
