Today, the Akim of the region, Nurlybek Nalibayev, along with responsible officials, met with representatives of the World Health Organization.At the meeting, the Akim noted that the state of the Aral Sea is not just a problem for one region or country, but a common, global environmental issue for the entire world.«Our President, Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich, has instructed that afforestation be carried out on the dry bed of the Aral Sea between 2021 and 2025, planting climate-resistant plants on an area of 1.1 million hectares and increasing greenery.From 2021 to 2024, 659,000 hectares of saxaul were planted. Work on the remaining 441,000 hectares will continue until the end of the year.Large-scale efforts are underway to improve the environmental situation in the Aral Sea region and protect the environment, with the support of foreign countries and international organizations.To stop sandstorms on the dry seabed, with the support of Germany, South Korea, the United States, and major international organizations and foundations, over 73,000 hectares of saksaul were planted.Furthermore, this year, a 33.5-hectare forest seed nursery, funded by the World Bank and worth 441 million tenge, was commissioned. This demonstrates the international community's commitment to the Aral Sea issue. We also consider this proof of the establishment of friendly ties.Large-scale projects have helped preserve the northern part of the Aral Sea and reduce water salinity. This has given a positive boost to the development of fisheries. For example, 400 tons of fish were caught in 2004, and approximately 6,000 tons in 2024.We are always ready to establish partnerships and work together in this area!» - said N. Nalibayev.Robb Butler, WHO Regional Director for Europe, speaking at the meeting, noted the openness to partnership. It's worth noting that a special United Nations delegation arrived in our region on September 15 to assess the health and environmental impacts of the Aral Sea crisis. The mission's representatives reviewed the state of the sea and held a special forum to identify the main factors affecting the health of the region's population and address the threats.At the forum, representatives of the intergovernmental working group assessed the climatic conditions of the Aral Sea region, the impact of the environment on health, and extensively discussed research projects in this area.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda/press/news/details/1070478?lang=kk

On September 17, 2025, in the city of Taldykorgan, in preparation for the entry into force of the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, an on-site explanatory seminar for entrepreneurs and residents of the Zhetisu region was held with the participation of Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee Nurzhanov Zhanybek and representatives of the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs Atameken.The new code, signed by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on July 18, 2025, is aimed at radically transforming the tax system, introducing transparency principles and adapting to modern economic realities. As the Head of State noted, the key goal of the reform is not only to change the norms, but also to form a new mentality of taxpayers.The new Tax Code will become an important tool for the development of the economy of Zhetisu, where the main focus is on agriculture, tourism and entrepreneurship. Its main goals are to reduce the shadow economy, simplify work with tax authorities and increase the efficiency of tax administration.Major changes:Differentiation of the tax burden. Socially significant industries such as medicine and education will pay a reduced corporate tax of 5% in 2026. A progressive scale of individual income tax is being introduced, which is aimed at a fair distribution of the tax burden, 10% for incomes up to 8,500 MCI (about 33.5 million tenge) and 15% for higher incomes.Simplification of tax regimes. There are three main modes left. Reducing the number of special tax regimes to three will simplify the system for local entrepreneurs. Regimes for the self-employed, based on a simplified declaration, and for peasant (farm) farms (KFH) will become the basis for doing business, especially in the agricultural sector, which is dominant in the economy of Zhetisu.Fight against business fragmentation. The VAT rate is increased to 16%, and the registration threshold is lowered. This will help bring large enterprises out of the shadows and create fair competition.The luxury tax. Excise taxes are introduced on expensive cars, yachts, airplanes and real estate with a total value of over 450 million tenge, which will affect the most affluent citizens and direct additional funds to the budget for the implementation of socially significant programs in the regions.The next seminar in the framework of a series of clarifications of the norms of the tax code will be held on September 18, 2025 in the city of Konayev.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1069963?lang=kk

A meeting was held at the Ministry of National Economy of the RK between Vice-Minister Yerlan Sagnayev and the head of the International Co-operative Alliance for the Asia-Pacific region, Balasubramanian Iyer, with the participation of representatives of state bodies, national institutions, and industry associations.Opening the meeting, Yerlan Sagnayev emphasized that cooperatives play a special role in the economy: they involve citizens in entrepreneurial activity, create jobs, support small and medium-sized businesses, and also act as a link between society and the state.One of the key issues was the development of a product certification system. Kazakhstan already has accredited laboratories that meet international requirements. Joint work to bring their activities in line with the standards of the Asia-Pacific region countries will expand the export potential of domestic producers.The prospect of localizing the production of international companies in Kazakhstan on the basis of cooperative projects was discussed separately. Such an approach will open access to advanced technologies and create new opportunities for integration into global value chains.The vice-minister also noted that for Kazakhstan, transport connectivity remains a key factor in the development of cooperation. The completion of the construction of more than 800 km of railway tracks on the «Dostyk - Moyinty» section has significantly increased the country's logistics potential, providing a more effective outlet for goods to foreign markets.Among the promising areas of cooperation, the participants highlighted the development of credit unions with flexible financing conditions - at low interest rates or with repayment in the form of products. Kazakhstan intends to study the possibility of introducing this practice.In turn, Balasubramanian Iyer recalled that the UN General Assembly declared 2025 the International Year of Cooperatives under the motto «Cooperatives Build a Better World». He noted that cooperatives have a significant impact on economic, environmental, and social development: today more than a billion people, or about 12% of the planet's population, are their members. Balasubramanian Iyer stressed the readiness of the International Co-operative Alliance to work more actively in Central Asia, to assist in the search for new markets and the promotion of products, and also invited Kazakhstan to join the ranks of the ICA.Following the negotiations, the parties expressed their readiness to consider the possibility of creating joint working groups, holding expert meetings, and participating in regional forums, exhibitions, and electronic trading platforms.For reference: The International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) is a global federation that unites more than 310 member organizations from 110 countries around the world. Founded in 1895, the ICA is one of the oldest and largest associations in the non-governmental sector and a partner of the UN, which actively promotes the cooperative model of sustainable development. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1069684?lang=kk

Currently, the entire public procurement process (from planning to payment) is carried out electronically on the web portal www.goszakup.gov.kz . This ensured full automation of all business processes.The electronic format covers all procedures: procurement, conclusion and registration of contracts, use of electronic bank guarantees, registration of acts of delivery of goods, performance of works and provision of services, electronic invoices and invoices for payment.The wide integration of the web portal with the information systems of government agencies makes it possible to automatically check potential suppliers for compliance with qualification requirements, the presence or absence of tax and court debts, as well as participation in the register of unscrupulous suppliers. This significantly increased transparency and eliminated the human factor in decision-making.According to an international study by Global Data Barometer, Kazakhstan's procurement system ranks 3rd in the world in terms of accessibility and transparency.Since January 1, 2025, the new Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Public Procurement" has been put into effect. One of its goals was to create a Single procurement platform that unites all types of regulated procurement: public procurement, procurement of quasi-public sector entities, procurement of the National Welfare Fund, as well as procurement of catering for educational institutions and others.The unified procurement platform was created on the basis of JSC "Center for Electronic Finance" and integrated with existing systems goszakup.gov.kz , zakup.sk .kz and mitwork.kz . It is integrated with more than 20 government information systems, including the Judicial Cabinet, Treasury-Client, the Register of Debtors, the Register of Real Estate, the e-Licensing system and others.The launch of a Single Platform has provided transparent, convenient and unified access to all types of regulated purchases. The new approach will increase the level of competition among suppliers, reduce the risks of unfair practices and ensure more efficient use of budget funds.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1069798?lang=kk
