The average area of forest fires in the region decreased by 2.5 times 16.07.2026
A meeting of the regional akimat on the issue of fire danger in forest areas was held under the chairmanship of Kostanay Region Akim Kumar Aksakalov.The Head of State has identified the expansion of forest areas and their protection as one of the national priorities.The staffing of the forest guard has been strengthened in the region. While three years ago 825 people worked in forestry institutions, today their number has increased to 1,242 people.«Over the past three years, about 8 billion tenge has been allocated to strengthen the material and technical base of forestry institutions. With these funds, 51 fire trucks, 86 tractors, 36 forest fire complexes, and 78 patrol units of equipment were purchased. As a result, the level of equipment provision for forestry institutions has reached 90%. At the same time, they are 100% provided with fire trucks», – noted the regional akim.In 2025, a 35-meter-high fire observation tower was built in the Auliekol district for the first time in the last 30 years. It is planned to install another 20 towers over the next three years. By the end of 2028, the region's forest areas will be fully equipped with surveillance systems.Today, monitoring of forest territories is carried out using 40 video surveillance cameras, which cover 70% of the forested area. For comparison, only 8 cameras were operational in 2022.Thanks to the measures taken, the average area of a single forest fire has decreased by 2.5 times – from 11.4 hectares to 4.6 hectares in 2025. In the current year, this indicator stands at 1.5 hectares.The reduction in the area of forest fires has also made it possible to significantly decrease the average material damage from a single fire. Compared to last year, this indicator has decreased by more than 11 times – from 849.1 thousand tenge to 73.2 thousand tenge.According to the resolution of the regional akimat, when the 4th or 5th class of fire danger is declared, restrictions on the presence of citizens in forests are introduced, the entry of agricultural and freight vehicles is prohibited, as well as the conduct of certain types of work that may increase the risk of fires.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1257893?lang=ru

A meeting of the regional akimat dedicated to ensuring water safety during the summer period was held under the chairmanship of Kostanay Region Akim Kumar Aksakalov.Currently, 23 official swimming areas have been designated within the region.

Children must swim exclusively under the supervision of parents or other adults. If a minor is found near a body of water unaccompanied by adults, their parents will be held liable in accordance with current legislation.«Summer is not only a time for recreation but also a period of heightened responsibility for adults. The life and health of children primarily depend on the attentiveness and responsibility of parents. An additional 217 prohibition and warning signs need to be installed across the region. Our task is to warn residents about the danger. At the same time, every citizen must recognize personal responsibility for their own life and safety,» noted the head of the region.Currently, the rescue service is equipped with 35 units of automotive equipment, 21 watercraft, 30 sets of diving gear, 97 communication devices, and 30 units of rescue equipment.

Итоги МВК: развитие бизнеса, сокращение административных барьеров и усиление контроля в АПК 15.07.2026
В Правительстве состоялось очередное 100-е заседание Межведомственной комиссии по вопросам регулирования предпринимательской деятельности под председательством заместителя Премьер-министра – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина. Участники подвели итоги работы по развитию малого и среднего предпринимательства за 2025 год, рассмотрели меры по дальнейшему снижению административной нагрузки на бизнес, а также поддержали законодательные инициативы, направленные на усиление контроля в сфере карантина растений, зернового рынка и регулирования электронных лотерей.По итогам 2025 года сектор малого и среднего предпринимательства продолжил укреплять свои позиции в экономике страны. Как сообщил вице-министр национальной экономики Ерлан Сагнаев, на 1 января 2026 года в Казахстане зарегистрировано 2,4 млн субъектов малого и среднего предпринимательства, из которых 2,2 млн являются действующими. За последние пять лет доля действующих предприятий выросла с 84,3% до 92,2%, увеличившись на 7,9 процентного пункта. Основную часть предпринимательского сектора составляет малый бизнес – 2,4 млн субъекта. Продолжает расти и вклад малого и среднего бизнеса в экономику страны. Если в 2020 году его доля в ВВП составляла 32,9%, то по итогам 2025 года достигла 40,9%. Из них вклад малого бизнеса составил 33,7%, среднего – 7,2%. На заседании отмечено, что государством продолжается работа по цифровизации регулирования и сокращению административных процедур. В 2025 году количество проверок бизнеса снизилось на 4,9%. Проверки на соответствие квалификационным требованиям сократились на 69,5% – с 1 173 до 358. Внеплановые проверки уменьшились с 47 154 до 46 884, иные проверки – с 4 993 до 3 449.Продолжается оптимизация разрешительной системы. Министерства по чрезвычайным ситуациям, внутренних дел и сельского хозяйства сократили сроки выдачи отдельных разрешительных документов, что позволяет предпринимателям экономить от 6 до 18 дней. Работа ведется и по сокращению отчетности. Из 192 действующих информационных инструментов предложено дополнительно сократить 15%. Уже автоматизировано 79 инструментов, или 40,7% от общего количества. В частности, в системе «Е-Минфин» в электронный формат переведены 10 форм отчетности.Одним из вопросов заседания стали поправки в законодательство, направленные на снижение рисков чрезмерного вовлечения граждан в электронные моментальные и тиражные лотереи.Поводом для изменений стали обращения граждан, поступающие в государственные органы. По информации Министерства туризма и спорта, участились случаи крупных финансовых потерь населения в электронных лотереях (к примеру, факты значительных проигрышей зафиксированы среди жителей Актюбинской области и города Шымкент). В настоящее время в стране функционирует более 200 организаций, осуществляющих такую деятельность.Поправками предлагается увеличить интервал между розыгрышами электронной тиражной лотереи в «лофтпарках» – вместо проведения каждые три минуты они смогут проводиться не чаще одного раза в 30 минут.Кроме того, вводится ограничение на количество приобретаемых билетов электронной моментальной лотереи у оператора лотереи за определенный период времени.Отдельное внимание в ходе заседания было уделено правовому регулированию в агропромышленном комплексе. В связи с отменой обязательных карантинных сертификатов при межобластной перевозке продукции в 2025 году возникли риски бесконтрольного распространения карантинных объектов. В 2023 году было выявлено 1 986 нарушений на сумму штрафов 158,5 млн тенге, в 2024 году – 2 093 нарушения на сумму 208,1 млн тенге.Поправками предлагается вновь сделать карантинный сертификат обязательным при межобластных перевозках подкарантинной продукции и установить административную ответственность за его отсутствие.Размер штрафов составит: для физических лиц – 20 МРП; для должностных лиц, субъектов малого предпринимательства и некоммерческих организаций – 30 МРП; для субъектов среднего предпринимательства – 40 МРП; для субъектов крупного предпринимательства – 100 МРП.Еще одним решением станет возвращение ежегодного обследования хлебоприемных предприятий перед приемом нового урожая. Вице-министр сельского хозяйства Ермек Кенжеханулы сообщил, что системные обследования хлебоприемных предприятий не проводились в стране с 2018 года.По его словам, это обусловлено изменениями в законодательстве и общим подходом к проведению проверок. Действующий подход не позволял обеспечить непрерывный и комплексный мониторинг всего технологического цикла – от приемки зерна до его хранения и последующей отгрузки. В результате за последние пять лет проверочные мероприятия охватили предприятия лишь четырех областей, что существенно повышало риски технологических нарушений при сушке и хранении зерновых культур. В 2024 году было выявлено 37 нарушений требований законодательства о зерне, к ответственности привлечен 31 субъект бизнеса. В 2025 году зафиксировано 11 нарушений, привлечены четыре предприятия.Поправками в Закон «О зерне», Предпринимательский кодекс и Кодекс об административных правонарушениях предусматривается введение обязательного ежегодного обследования хлебоприемных предприятий, а также административной ответственности за несоответствие установленным требованиям.Реформа затронет 189 субъектов бизнеса, зарегистрированных в системе зерновых расписок «AgriBonds» на платформе «QOLDAU». Ожидается, что новые меры позволят обеспечить безопасное хранение и бесперебойную приемку зерна нового урожая.По итогам заседания МВК результаты анализа регуляторного воздействия по рассмотренным выше вопросам были одобрены комиссией.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1257444?lang=ru
