More than 400 entrepreneurs in the trade sector received state support as part of the implementation of measures to develop domestic trade. The Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan is systematically working to create favorable conditions for the modernization of trade infrastructure and increasing the competitiveness of small and medium businesses.Since the beginning of this year, 418 projects have been signed under the subsidy instrument for a total of 57.5 billion tenge in loans. The total amount of subsidies paid amounted to 2,788 million tenge. Along with this, 103 guarantees for loans of 8 billion tenge were signed under the guarantee instrument with the amount of state guarantees of 3.6 billion tenge.Particular attention is paid to the development of trade infrastructure in the regions. In the East Kazakhstan region, 21 projects worth about 7 billion tenge in the sphere of domestic trade are currently being implemented with state support.As part of the Roadmap for Market Modernization, it is planned to complete the renovation of three trade markets, Zarya, Zarechny, and Tsentralny, in the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk in 2025. Two of these markets, Zarya and Zarechny, received state support from the Ministry of Trade and Integration.During a working visit to the region, Deputy Chairman of the Trade Committee Yernur Zhautikbayev familiarized himself with the progress of the projects and inspected the trade facilities, where he noted the positive dynamics of the modernization of retail space.The Zarya market, commissioned in 2002, is a universal retail market with a predominance of food products in the assortment. In 2024, two new one-story pavilions with central communications were built here. Thanks to state support, the market continues to develop: in 2025, a parking area was equipped, and two more pavilions are under construction. A complete modernization of the facility is planned before the end of this year.The Zarechny Market, which has been operating since 1999, is also undergoing a large-scale renovation. Its territory includes 5 indoor buildings and several shopping arcades. Since last year, construction of a permanent retail facility has been underway, with completion scheduled for September 2025. Work on laying utility lines and interior finishing is actively ongoing. The facility has its own parking lot.The Central Market, which was commissioned in 2000, is represented by two main permanent buildings, where both food and non-food products are sold. There are also pavilions and shopping arcades on its territory. Work is being carried out at this facility as part of the Roadmap for the modernization of markets.“Full modernization of retail markets by the end of this year is among the Government’s priority tasks. This is the path of law and order. The Ministry of Trade has fully developed the necessary regulatory framework. Now retail facilities must bring their activities into compliance with the requirements of the law. First of all, this is a matter of social responsibility of business. From the beginning of next year, markets that have not undergone modernization will not be able to continue operating,” said Deputy Chairman of the Trade Committee of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan Yernur Zhautikbayev.The Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Kazakhstan plans to increase the share of modern trade formats to 70% by 2029. Currently, this figure is 41%. Trade markets must also switch to modern standards, that is, comply with fire safety requirements, sanitary and epidemiological standards, ensure transparency of tax revenues through the acceptance of payment cards, and be equipped with convenient parking areas for consumers.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1066605?lang=kk

In Kazakhstan, work continues on the introduction of a special digital service "Baqylauda", which will show the full picture of state support online, the Ministry of Finance reports. The agency has combined all state support measures, and there are more than a hundred of them today, in order to quickly monitor: what exactly are state funds used for and is there any sense in this? The tool will increase the efficiency of government spending, the agency is confident.The Baqylauda service is hosted by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan on a digital platform "Qoldau.kz " (https://baqylauda.qoldau.kz). Today, data on government support measures over the past 10 years is uploaded to the system. When this work is completed, the analysis will show which of the state support tools were effective, and which were a dubious waste of government tenge. In the system, it will be possible to check and evaluate the effectiveness of benefits, subsidies, or other tools, "scaling" them to the level of individual areas, individual industries, operators, and even a specific recipient company.Despite the fact that the data for the last two years has not yet been uploaded, interesting analytical data is already available in the service. So, for 9 years (from 2015 to 2023), the volume of state support amounted to 9.94 trillion tenge. At the same time, state support measures for the "Employment Roadmap" in the "covid" period became the most ambitious budget costs – the costs amounted to about 973 billion tenge. In second place in terms of cost is the cost of preferential leasing of agricultural machinery and equipment – 920 billion tenge, in third place again is the sphere of agriculture – more than 675 billion tenge was spent on the development of livestock breeding. This was followed by the agricultural sector again – the financing of the Ken Dala program, for which 650 billion tenge was spent."It is obvious that many companies, especially in the agricultural sector, receive and use state support measures from different government programs or receive support through different operators, through different ministries. Until today, there was no single database. Therefore, it was difficult to assess the effectiveness of these expenses. Now the state will clearly see whether it makes sense to support a company that receives tens of millions of tenge from year to year, but at the same time its indicators for taxes, productivity, technology, employment and other indicators are not growing," explained A.N. Turysov, Vice Minister of Finance.According to the speaker, the Baqylauda electronic service is a first–level system. She checks the entrepreneur and evaluates his compliance with the established criteria. Currently, there are four key stop factors in it: the absence of persons related to the financing of terrorism on the lists, the absence of signs of false entrepreneurship, bankruptcy facts, as well as unfulfilled obligations under previously received state support measures. If such factors are present, the system will display this information to the service provider, i.e. the government agency or operator. For example, for the Ministry of Agriculture or a Food Corporation. And the service provider will independently decide whether to approve or refuse government support to the business."Yes, we understand that, for example, in agriculture, a lot depends on the weather, on the volatility in the market for products. However, the assessment will be conducted not for one year, but for several years. In addition, the system will evaluate and take into account the overall performance of economic sectors," Asset Turysov explained.The Baqylauda monitoring service for the use of state support measures and their recipients was implemented pursuant to Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated May 8, 2024 No. 542 "On Economic Liberalization Measures" to ensure transparent and equal access to state support measures for entrepreneurship and automate the selection procedure for recipients of state support measures in accordance with basic criteria.The service was developed by a domestic team of programmers – specialists of JSC "Information and Accounting Center" of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1066597?lang=kk

Supporting this event also demonstrates the OSCE’s contribution to promoting human rights, gender equality, and inclusion, as enshrined in the resolutions of the OSCE Ministerial Council and in the Organization’s strategic documents, such as the Helsinki Final Act and the 2004 OSCE Action Plan for the Promotion of Gender Equality.For 20 years (2005-2025), the Central Asian Network of Women with Disabilities, together with its partners, has been working to advance equality, rights, and opportunities for women with disabilities.The Network’s achievements include projects on advocacy of the rights of women with disabilities at national and international levels, the realization of reproductive rights by women with disabilities, running Independent Living Schools for girls with disabilities, removing negative stereotypes against women with disabilities, protection from violence, and the development of leadership educational programs. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa/press/news/details/1066359?lang=kk

Эти результаты подтверждают, что Казахстан остаётся привлекательным для инвесторов и надёжным партнёром в регионе.Китай является одним из крупнейших внешнеторговых партнёров Казахстана. В 2024 году двусторонний товарооборот превысил 43 млрд долларов, а за первое полугодие 2025 года составил 21,8 млрд долларов.
