We, the Foreign Ministers of the States Parties to the Treaty on a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in Central Asia (hereinafter referred to as the “CANWFZ Treaty”), on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the signing of the CANWFZ Treaty in Semipalatinskreaffirming our commitment to humanity’s common goal of achieving a world free of nuclear weapons, and recognizing the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use or testing of nuclear weapons,emphasizing that the establishment of nuclear-weapon-free zones is one of the most powerful universal tools for preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons and strengthening the global disarmament process,noting the importance of the Treaty between the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and the Republic of Uzbekistan on Friendship, Good-Neighborliness, and Cooperation for Development of Central Asia in the 21st Century in strengthening peace and security in the region,recalling that the idea of establishing a nuclear-weapon-free zone in Central Asia was first proposed by the Republic of Uzbekistan in September 1993 at the 48th session of the UN General Assembly,convinced that the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in Central Asia represents a successful example of the consolidation of efforts by the countries of the region, and emphasizing that this was an important step toward strengthening the nuclear nonproliferation regime and the process of nuclear disarmament, regional and international peace and security, as well as the development of cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and the environmental rehabilitation of areas affected by radioactive contamination,welcoming the thirty-fifth anniversary of the closure of the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site and the thirtieth anniversary of the opening for signature of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, and paying tribute to the memory of the numerous victims of nuclear explosions and their consequences in all regions of the world,we hereby declare the following:We reaffirm our commitment to the historically significant CANWFZ Treaty, signed by the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and the Republic of Uzbekistan on 8 September 2006, in Semipalatinsk. As the result of collective efforts of all five Central Asian states in their aspiration to ensure security, stability and peace in the region, and as it remains the first and only such zone located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and directly bordering two nuclear-weapon States, the Semipalatinsk Treaty continues to play an important role in strengthening the global disarmament and non-proliferation regime and serves as a symbolic example of Central Asia’s transformation from a region where nuclear weapons were once actively tested and deployed into one of the leaders of global efforts toward nuclear disarmament.We reaffirm the key role of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) as the cornerstone of international efforts to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons and, ultimately, to achieve their complete elimination. In this regard, we regret that the Eleventh Review Conference of the States Parties to the NPT concluded without adopting substantive outcomes, reflecting continuing differences and a lack of trust in the field of nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation. We call on all NPT parties to continue negotiations in good faith on the effective implementation of obligations under all three interrelated and mutually reinforcing pillars – nuclear disarmament, nonproliferation, and the peaceful use of nuclear energy.In light of the urgent and unprecedented challenges threatening global security and stability, we express serious concern over the lack of substantial progress in the field of nuclear disarmament in accordance with Article 6 of the NPT, as well as the cessation of key arms control agreements, coupled with an alarming trend toward the modernization of nuclear arsenals. At the same time, we note the special responsibility of nuclear-weapon States to engage in negotiations on nuclear disarmament and call for the urgent development of new, verifiable arms control mechanisms to prevent a nuclear arms race.We affirm our unwavering support for the activities of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in implementing the provisions of the NPT, promoting cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and applying safeguards and monitoring of nuclear programs in the Agency’s member states.We firmly advocate for the necessity of the earliest entry-into-force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) which will mark exactly thirty years since its opening for signature on 24 September 2026. In this regard, we emphasize the need to preserve and further strengthen the international norm against nuclear testing and call for refraining from any actions that could undermine this norm.We emphasize the important role of raising awareness on disarmament and non-proliferation in fostering a culture of peace, trust and responsibility, and note the particular importance of involving the youth in discussions on disarmament and international security. We support the continued promotion of the International Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness, initiated by the Kyrgyz Republic and symbolically observed annually on 5 March – the date the NPT entered into force – as well as related regional educational initiatives.In this regard, we note the relevance of the recommendations contained in the UN Study on Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Education, as well as the UN Secretary-General’s Agenda for Disarmament, “Securing Our Common Future: An Agenda for Disarmament.”We welcome the signing on 6 May 2014 by the nuclear-weapon States of the Protocol on Negative Security Assurances to the Treaty on the Central Asian Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone and its ratification by four nuclear-weapon states, and we express our hope for the earliest completion of the ratification process for the Protocol by the United States of America.We express our interest in the institutional development of the CANWFZ Treaty and in expanding further partnerships with existing nuclear-weapon-free zones with the aim of strengthening the global nuclear non-proliferation regime and uniting international efforts to ensure peace and security. In this context, we welcome the signing of Memoranda of Understanding with the African Commission on Atomic Energy (AFCONE) and the Organization for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean (OPANAL), as well as the holding in Astana on August 28–29, 2024, under Kazakhstan’s chairmanship, of the second meeting of representatives of all existing nuclear-weapon-free zones.We note the great importance of strengthening regional security as a key factor for sustainable development and stability in Central Asia, and we reaffirm our intention to continue to cooperate closely in addressing common challenges and threats.We support efforts to establish new nuclear-weapon-free zones in regions where they do not currently exist, including in the Middle East.We welcome the adoption of the resolution “Treaty on a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in Central Asia” at the 79th session of the UN General Assembly as well as the holding, of an anniversary meeting of the Treaty’s participating States in Ashgabat on 5 December 2024, under Turkmenistan’s chairmanship, with the participation of representatives of other existing nuclear-weapon-free zones and international organizations.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa/press/news/details/1287510?lang=ru

At the same time, a significant decrease in prices is noted for certain types of products. Thus, in the city, the price of cucumbers decreased by 51% and became half the level of the beginning of the year. Tomatoes also fell in price by 45%.The Department of Trade and Consumer Protection of the East Kazakhstan Region, based on data from the Bureau of National Statistics, conducted an analysis of price changes for January–August 2026. According to its results, the overall price index for socially important food products in Ust-Kamenogorsk amounted to 101.0%. This is lower than the national average (101.4%).The most noticeable price decrease is observed for vegetable products. In addition to cucumbers and tomatoes, the price of polished rice has decreased by 6.7% since the beginning of the year. At the same time, the price of wheat bread made from first-grade flour remained at the January level — the index amounted to 100.0%.The cost of bone-in beef has remained virtually unchanged since the beginning of the year — the index amounted to 100.7% (an increase of only 0.7%). The price of poultry meat also remains stable — index 100.2%.At the same time, due to the transition to the new harvest, a seasonal price increase is observed for a number of vegetables.

Butter rose in price by 3.2%, hard cheese — by 1.1%.To reduce the impact of seasonal changes on the market, work is underway in the region to form food reserves. In particular, replenishment of the stabilization fund is envisaged through direct purchases of the new harvest of potatoes, onions, cabbage, and carrots from local farmers. The collected products will be used in the autumn-winter period to provide the market with necessary goods and prevent sharp price increases.In order for residents to be able to purchase products directly from producers and at affordable prices, farmers' fairs are also regularly held in the region. Here, goods are offered at prices 15–20% lower than in stores. Since the beginning of the year, 421 fairs have been held in the region.To prevent unjustified price increases, control in retail facilities has also been strengthened. Monitoring of compliance with the established 15% maximum trade markup on socially important food products is carried out on an ongoing basis. Based on the results of control, 75 administrative measures have been applied against entrepreneurs who committed violations.In addition, as a result of the work of the regional commission, more than 10 unproductive intermediaries have been excluded from the supply chain of goods. This allows reducing unjustified markups on the way from producer to consumer and lowering the final cost of products.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1287431?lang=ru

АО «ФРП «Даму»  запустил работу пилотных Центров поддержки и сопровождения бизнеса в Астане, Алматы, Шымкенте, Северо-Казахстанской и Актюбинской областях.Фонд «Даму» рассматривает возможность расширения формата работы и внедрения механизма комплексного сопровождения бизнеса. Такой подход позволит обеспечить предпринимателям более удобное взаимодействие с государственными органами, финансовыми институтами и другими организациями при решении вопросов, связанных с развитием бизнеса.В рамках пилотного проекта планируется объединить имеющуюся инфраструктуру, экспертизу и инструменты поддержки, а также взаимодействие с организациями Холдинга «Байтерек» в рамках Единого фронт-офиса. Механизм предполагает сопровождение предпринимателей на всех этапах - от диагностики проблемы до ее урегулирования.Работа Центров построена следующим образом: предприниматель обращается в региональный филиал Фонда «Даму», где специалисты проводят первичную диагностику ситуации, определяют возможные механизмы ее решения и формируют дальнейший маршрут сопровождения. В зависимости от характера обращения к работе с кейсом подключаются профильные государственные органы, финансовые институты, местные исполнительные органы и организации группы Холдинга «Байтерек». Фонд «Даму» координирует взаимодействие между участниками и сопровождает предпринимателя до получения решения по его вопросу. Таким образом, предпринимателю не требуется самостоятельно обращаться в каждое ведомство по отдельности.В рамках пилотного проекта основное внимание будет уделено вопросам, которые непосредственно влияют на финансовую устойчивость и продолжение деятельности бизнеса.В частности, предприниматели смогут получить содействие по вопросам:реструктуризации задолженности и доступа к финансированию;получения мер государственной поддержки;урегулирования налоговой задолженности;восстановления доступа к рынкам сбыта и продвижения продукции;развития предпринимательских компетенций;государственной поддержки и финансирования субъектов АПК.Такие направления были определены на основе анализа более 2,4 тыс. проблемных обращений субъектов МСБ из реестра НПП «Атамекен». Более 600 из них поступили из пяти регионов, где реализуется пилотный проект. Наиболее часто предприниматели обращались по вопросам финансирования и реструктуризации задолженности, получения мер господдержки, налогообложения, сбыта продукции и развития бизнеса.Главный критерий - решенный вопросВ отличие от традиционного консультационного формата, эффективность Центров будет оцениваться прежде всего по результату. Ключевым показателем станет доля урегулированных обращений предпринимателей, а также содействие в восстановлении доступа бизнеса к финансированию и рынкам сбыта, решении проблемных кредитов и налоговых вопросов, соблюдении сроков рассмотрения обращений.Одновременно Центры будут формировать аналитику по повторяющимся проблемам бизнеса. Это позволит выявлять системные барьеры и вырабатывать предложения по совершенствованию действующих мер поддержки и законодательства.Пилотный проект продлится до конца 2026 года. По его итогам будет проведена оценка эффективности нового механизма и подготовлены предложения по его дальнейшему масштабированию на другие регионы страны.Обратиться в Центр поддержки и сопровождения бизнеса можно в региональных филиалах Фонда «Даму» в пяти пилотных регионах. Адреса и контактные данные региональных филиалов доступны на официальном сайте Фонда. Также информацию можно получить в Едином контакт-центре по номеру 1408.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1287250?lang=ru

Today, September 7 of this year, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan successfully completed its second issuance of sovereign Panda bonds on the Chinese stock market, in a total volume of RMB 6.6 billion. The Panda bonds were placed in two tranches: a 3-year tranche at a coupon rate of 1.82% per annum in the amount of RMB 5 billion, and a 5-year tranche at a coupon rate of 1.95% per annum in the amount of RMB 1.6 billion.Kazakhstan has once again secured financing in the Chinese market on terms comparable to those available to countries with higher "A" category credit ratings. The strong investor interest reflects a positive assessment of the economic and structural reforms being pursued in Kazakhstan, aimed at diversifying and strengthening the resilience of the economy.The issuance follows the upgrade of Kazakhstan's sovereign credit rating by S&P from "BBB-" to "BBB" with a "Stable" outlook, reflecting sustainable growth prospects and a low level of government debt, which stands at 20.9% of GDP. External government debt stands at 4.5% of GDP, one of the lowest levels in the world.The placement took place against the background of further strengthening of a comprehensive strategic partnership between Kazakhstan and China. The partnership has acquired an unprecedentedly high level, covering almost all key areas - from trade and investment to energy, transport, industrial cooperation and digitalization. Deepening cooperation in the capital markets, including through the entry of Kazakhstani issuers into the Chinese market, serves as a practical reflection of this course.The placement took place against the backdrop of the further strengthening of the comprehensive strategic partnership between Kazakhstan and China. The partnership has reached an unprecedentedly high level, encompassing virtually all key areas — from trade and investment to energy, transport, industrial cooperation, and digitalization. The deepening of cooperation in capital markets, including through the entry of Kazakhstani issuers into the Chinese market, serves as a practical reflection of this course.The steady expansion of Kazakhstan's presence in international capital markets contributes to broadening funding sources, diversifying the debt portfolio, and building sustainable access to a diverse range of investors. The Ministry of Finance will continue to pursue a balanced approach to sovereign borrowing, taking into account market conditions and the objectives of effective public debt management.
