Speaker of the Senate Maulen Ashimbayev met with labor collectives of the North Kazakhstan region, deputies of the maslikhat, members of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan, representatives of public and religious associations. During the visit to the region, issues related to the implementation of the instructions of the Head of State within the framework of the Year of Working Professions and the development of new production facilities that pave the way for the growth and prosperity of the regions were also discussed. It was noted that the joint work of the Senate and maslikhats in important areas is of particular importance.The Speaker of the Chamber participated in a round table on the topic "Development of labor resources in the regions of Kazakhstan: current state and prospects". In his speech, he drew attention to the importance of developing new production facilities that pave the way for the growth and prosperity of the regions, one of the priorities set by the Head of State in his Address. As Maulen Ashimbayev noted, to achieve this goal, it is necessary to conduct comprehensive work at all levels with qualified, professional specialists.“Our President Kassym-Jomart Kemelovich Tokayev, in an interview with the “Ana tili” newspaper, noted that ensuring economic growth is the main task facing us. Currently, industry specialists in our country are in demand - engineers, power engineers, water management specialists, agronomists, veterinarians and representatives of other important specialties. Therefore, the Head of State declared 2025 the Year of Working Professions. In this regard, it is important not only to train these specialists, but also to form a unique labor culture in our country, educate respect for working people, and promote the values ​​of hard work and professionalism. Working people are the basis of the country's development. Therefore, the prestige of working professions must be at a high level,” said the Speaker of the Senate.In this regard, emphasis was placed on specific measures aimed at ensuring the qualitative economic development of the regions, taking into account their specifics and current problems. According to Maulen Ashimbayev, the shortage of labor resources, the labor disparity between different regions, urban and rural areas and specialties, unbalanced urbanization, and the demographic crisis are the most pressing issues of our time. To solve them, it is necessary to mobilize the efforts of all stakeholders towards a common goal.“Ensuring the balance of labor resources between regions is an important task. There are regions with an excess of labor resources, such as Turkestan and Zhambyl regions, and regions with a shortage of labor. For example, the North Kazakhstan region. The process of natural population decline in this region also has its consequences. Today, the birth rate in the North Kazakhstan region is low, and the mortality rate is high. This creates problems that lead to a slowdown in economic growth and a decrease in production potential. Taking into account demographic trends and the needs of our economy, we understand the great importance of systematizing internal migration of labor resources, personnel rotation, and revitalizing youth training and employment programs. It is necessary to analyze past experience, study why those programs were ineffective, and work out the necessary steps and mechanisms to increase the scale of labor migration in our country,” the Chairman of the Chamber noted, noting that labor migration programs should be further developed.During the meeting with the deputies of the Maslikhat and the public of the region, Maulen Ashimbayev touched upon the agro-industrial potential of the North Kazakhstan region, and expressed the readiness of the Senate deputies to provide legislative support for its implementation. In this regard, industrial and infrastructure projects, as well as other key areas of joint work, were discussed. The meeting also noted that the issue of infrastructure modernization, including the modernization of electricity networks in villages, is of great importance.“The region also pays great attention to infrastructure modernization. In particular, last year, the construction of a new chimney at the 2nd CHP was completed. Work is underway to upgrade electricity networks in rural areas. Senators took into account the proposals of the North Kazakhstan region when considering the republican budget for 2025. As a result, additional funds were allocated for the implementation of important infrastructure projects. Specifically, these are projects related to water supply and heating of villages and regional development. In the future, the Chamber, together with the senators elected from this region, will continue to provide the necessary assistance and support for the comprehensive development of the North Kazakhstan region,” said Maulen Ashimbayev, calling on the deputies of the Maslikhat to actively participate in the legislative work of the Parliament and develop conceptual proposals to solve urgent problems in the regions.Members of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan and religious representatives of the region also attended the meeting. The deputies of the parliament discussed important issues related to the development of spiritual diplomacy with them and exchanged views on the implementation of the goals and objectives within the framework of the VIII Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions.“We will continue our joint work to ensure the spiritual, cultural, and humanitarian interests of all ethnic groups in our country. One of the most important tasks in this matter is obviously the promotion and support of the state language. The Kazakh language is one of the main mechanisms that unite all ethnic groups in Kazakhstan in a common goal. There is no doubt about it. In general, today we all need to unite around common values, such as statehood, independence, and the policy of our President aimed at strengthening unity and harmony in the country. "I believe that the North Kazakhstan region will set an example for other regions," said the Chairman of the Senate.Also, as part of the visit, the senators visited the North Kazakhstan University named after Manash Kozybayev, which has more than 6 thousand students, and got acquainted with the educational work, research activities and further development strategy of the educational institution. The deputies were also introduced to the activities of the educational and laboratory building with laboratories for livestock and crop farming. Experiments and scientific research are conducted there.The Chairman of the Senate also got acquainted with the activities of the Citizen Reception Center. In addition, he met with the labor collectives of the greenhouse complex of Zeleny Sever LLP and the deep wood processing plant of Nord Panels LLP.Maulen Ashimbayev also met with the collective of the inclusive dance group Sensitive and para-athletes of the regional Boccia branch at the creative industry center Qyzyljar Creative Center. This project, implemented in order to fulfill the instructions of the Head of State, contributes to the training of specialists necessary for the creative economy, improving the abilities of young talents, and providing support to them, while creating appropriate conditions to reduce the outflow of young people from the region.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/sko/press/news/details/924171

On January 24, 2025, the akim of Kostanay region Kumar Aksakalov paid a working visit to Altynsarin district. The purpose of the visit was to assess the implementation of projects that contribute to the socio-economic development of rural areas. During the visit, the akim got acquainted with a number of facilities: a dairy farm under construction, a new House of Culture, and new residential buildings. These projects are aimed at directly fulfilling the instructions of the Head of State and are bringing great benefits to the residents of the region. Farm in Basbek village: a confident step towards food security The construction of a dairy farm for 660 heads of cattle has begun in Basbek village, Altynsarin district, Kostanay region. The cost of the project is 3.5 billion tenge, of which 500 million tenge were the enterprise's own funds, and 3 billion tenge were allocated as a loan at a rate of 2.5% within the framework of state support measures. Akim of Kostanay region Kumar Aksakalov noted that this project is aimed at fulfilling the task of the Head of State to increase the share of processed products in the agro-industrial complex to 70% by 2026. The farm will produce 4.5 thousand tons of milk per year. “This project is aimed at ensuring food security, reducing dependence on imports, and creating new opportunities for the development of the agricultural economy. "We are implementing the strategy of the Head of State aimed at the sustainable growth of the agro-industrial complex and improving the quality of life in rural areas," the head of the region said. It should be noted that this is not the only project aimed at implementing the instructions of the Head of State in the region.In the Kostanay region, 6 more modern industrial dairy farms are being built in the Fedorov, Karabalyk, Mendikara and Altynsarin districts for high-quality milk production.The launch of these farms will increase milk production by 43 thousand tons, and the load on milk processing enterprises in the region will increase from 80% to 95%. The farm director Talgat Tapaev also noted the importance of the project for the region:   "Prioritizing only crop production is a path that leads to risks and potential bankruptcy. Market fluctuations and climate change make such a farm unstable. Diversification is not just a choice, it is a necessity for survival and growth. Developing dairy farming is a real way to strengthen your own economy, reduce dependence on one direction, and ensure long-term sustainability.Understanding this, of course, thanks to state support, we have undertaken the construction of a dairy farm for 600 cows. It produces 4.5 thousand tons of milk per year and employs more than 30 local residents. Those who are not ready for change will be left behind. Our example shows that changes are possible and that they bring profit not only to the farm, but also to the entire region. Our task is to complete the project on time and put the farm into operation at full capacity," he said. The implementation of such projects contributes not only to the economic development of the region, but also to the improvement of social infrastructure, creating conditions for raising the standard of living of rural residents.   House of Culture: a center of creativity and unity The next object of the working trip of the regional akim Kumar Aksakalov was the grand opening of the new House of Culture in the village of Bolshaya Churakovka. This project, implemented within the framework of the “Village – Cradle of the Nation” program, has become an important event for the villagers. 404 million tenge was allocated for the construction of the facility.The House of Culture can accommodate up to 100 people daily, which will allow for creative development, effective leisure activities and preservation of traditions. At the grand opening ceremony, Kumar Aksakalov noted the importance of such projects: “The new House of Culture is not just a building. It is a center of life, creativity and inspiration. We are improving the cultural infrastructure in rural areas, creating conditions for residents to develop themselves and preserve their traditions. After all, the development of culture is closely related to the development of the economy. A culturally and intellectually developed person is the main driving force of the country's economic development." Maslikhat deputy Botakoz Bidauletova also noted the special place that this facility occupies in the cultural life of the district: "Today's event is a vivid example of how the instructions of the Head of State on the development of culture are being implemented in local areas. The House of Culture unites the villagers and becomes a center of creativity and inspiration for representatives of all generations." In addition, a village resident, youth representative Talgat Kapiyatov shared his impressions: "The opening of the House of Culture is a very important event for young people. Here, all conditions have been created for creativity, sports and communication. We have the opportunity to participate in choreography, wrestling circles, play table tennis, and even train in the gym. This place unites us and gives us new opportunities for development. We are grateful for such a gift and are confident that the House of Culture will become a center of inspiration and activity for every resident." The opening of the House of Culture in the village of Bolshaya Churakovka is a contribution to the development of the social infrastructure of the village. The facility will become an important part of the daily life of residents, allowing them to preserve traditions, reveal creative potential and strengthen the unity of rural society. Last year, funding for the cultural sector in Kostanay region increased by 24.3% and amounted to 16.9 billion tenge. Particular attention is paid to improving the infrastructure of cultural facilities, which will allow us to implement projects such as the construction of a new House of Culture.Such large-scale projects demonstrate that state support is a real step towards the development of rural areas. These are not just words, but real actions to create favorable conditions for living, working and being creative.   Housing for large families: new houses in the village of Ubagan The last destination of the regional akim's working trip was the village of Ubagan, Altynsarin district. Here, the keys to eight new two-apartment houses were ceremonially handed over. This project was implemented within the framework of the state program to provide affordable housing, which is being implemented in order to fulfill the instructions of the Head of State. A total of 298.2 million tenge was spent on the construction. The average area of ​​​​each apartment is 85 square meters. The houses are built with neat finishing, equipped with all necessary communications and are fully ready for occupancy. Among the owners of the new houses are large families, orphans and representatives of socially vulnerable groups. At the solemn ceremony, the akim of Kostanay region Kumar Aksakalov noted: «We are increasing housing construction every year. According to the results of 2024, about 500 thousand square meters of housing were put into operation, and more than 5 thousand families were provided with apartments. Last year, funds were allocated for the purchase of rental housing on the instructions of the Head of State. 940 apartments were purchased in the region for more than 18 billion tenge, which is 5.7 times more than in 2023. This year, it is planned to purchase 1,000 apartments for citizens on the waiting list." According to the akim, providing citizens with affordable housing is one of the important directions for implementing the tasks of the country's leadership. New houses are not just shelter, but a symbol of confidence in the future and an improvement in the quality of life. We will continue to work to solve housing problems, create conditions for every family to have a comfortable home and build a stable future. Gulshat Suyesenova, a mother of many children, who received the keys to the new house, shared her joy: «This is a great happiness for our family. Now we have our own comfortable home, where our children grow up in good conditions. We are very grateful to the state and the country's leadership for supporting large families. This is a new stage in our lives, we will always remember this moment." The construction of eight houses is just the beginning. This year, the district authorities plan to build another 7 two-apartment houses, which will allow providing even more families with housing. These projects are a clear example of the successful implementation of the state program aimed at supporting rural areas. Each new house is a guarantee of the stability and confidence of rural residents in the future. Results of the visit The akim's working trip showed how state support can change the lives of rural residents. These projects are aimed at creating conditions for a comfortable life, strengthening the economy, and creating conditions for the development of rural youth. Thanks to such initiatives, villages are becoming places where you want to live, work, and build your future.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/924480

These can be patterns for a wedding, as well as decorative elements for the home - pillows, tablecloths or towels.Currently, Aigerim is working on the concept of the studio and studying the organizational processes. In the future, she plans to assemble a team of craftsmen, designers and promotion specialists to implement her ideas and create quality products that will delight people.Aigerim will be helped to realize this dream by a grant received by the regional akim under the project "Generations of Independence".

Akim of Karaganda region Yermaganbet Bulekpayev continues his meetings at workplaces. This time, he came to the "Kazakhstan" mine with the heads of departments and agencies.  The open dialogue was attended by representatives of trade unions and the management of Qarmet. - As you know, I hold meetings with residents throughout the year, but I noticed that there are few employees of enterprises among the participants. We decided that we should come to labor collectives and discuss issues in an open dialogue, - said Yermaganbet Bulekpayev. - I understand that there are risks in your professions, and our task, the task of your management, is to minimize them. Therefore, we continue to develop measures to improve social protection, safety and working conditions. The head of the State Labor Inspection Department, Medeu Akhmetov, reported on the work done. The head of the Department of Employment Coordination and Social Programs Toleu Mukhtar reported on measures to support and develop workers' professions.

Yermaganbet Bolekpayev told what is being done to improve the heat supply of Shakhtinsk. Last year, funding for the repair of the CHP was increased several times. Today, the station is operating stably. To keep houses warm, 4 kilometers of heating networks have been replaced and thermal insulation has begun to be restored. In addition, preparations are underway to gasify the city of Shakhtinsk. The reconstruction of water supply networks continues. Transport infrastructure is also being improved: over the past two years, 30 km of roads between the city and neighboring villages have been repaired. The meeting participants raised the issue of housing. Under the preferential mortgage program launched by the regional akimat together with Otbasy Bank, 116 miners and 113 metallurgists purchased apartments in the cities of Karaganda, Saran, Temirtau, Shakhtinsk, and Abay. 2 billion tenge was allocated from the regional budget for this program. The director of the Otbasy Bank branch, Bauyrzhan Zhuasbayev, spoke about the new housing program "Nauryz Worker" for working professionals. It will start on March 17, 2025. Advantages: down payment - from 10% (housing in the finished primary market), from 20% (housing in the semi-finished and secondary market); rate - 7% for socially vulnerable categories, 9% for the rest. The meeting also raised questions regarding landscaping, garbage collection, lighting, and improvement of playgrounds in Shakhtinsk. The mayor of the city, Murat Kydyrganbekov, immediately responded to them. In the morning, complaints were made about the lack of buses from Shakhtinsk to Karaganda. Ermaganbet Bolekpayev gave instructions on the issues that needed to be resolved. The miners raised the issue of medical services at the Shakhtinsk hospital. Therefore, after the meeting, the regional mayor went there and inspected the medical facility. The building, built during the Soviet era, has been in need of renovation for several years. Last year, a major renovation of the clinic began. Now the 4th and 5th floors are ready, and the 3rd is partially ready. It is planned to be completed this year. Hospital Director Talgat Zhuken spoke about the modernization of equipment.  New equipment has been purchased for intensive care, operating rooms, as well as for diagnosing heart diseases.

The Ministry of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan has published a draft order on the introduction of a ban on the export of scrap and waste of non-ferrous and ferrous metals, as well as used pipes, rails, railway lining elements and rolling stock from the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan by rail.This norm was adopted in order to provide domestic metallurgical enterprises with raw materials and load them, since the maximum processing of secondary metals within the country is a strategically important direction for the production of products with the highest added value, as well as environmental friendliness and minimal energy consumption. As the authorized body in the field of state stimulation of industry, the Ministry has been carrying out consistent work aimed at expanding the production of the steel industry over the past few years, focusing on domestic and foreign markets. This is a key element in the development of national industrial policy.The order will come into force ten calendar days after the date of its first official publication.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/923563

Today, the Vice Minister of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Olzhas Saparbekov, spoke at a briefing on the modernization of the energy and utilities sector.He touched upon plans to maximize the use of domestic goods within the framework of the national project. The national project "Modernization of the Energy and Utilities Sector" is aimed at using domestic goods and attracting investments. This will increase competitiveness and allow domestic enterprises to increase production volumes,” said Olzhas Saparbekov.The document sets goals to ensure the share of domestically produced products among suppliers at about 20% by 2025, and to reach a threshold of about 60% by 2029.In order to achieve the indicator, measures have been developed to support domestic producers, such as concluding offtake contracts to open new production capacities in the country, and developing an electronic procurement platform for open interaction between suppliers and contractors.A list of necessary products has been developed as part of the modernization of the energy and utilities sectors. According to preliminary data, the list consists of more than 1,000 items worth about 4 trillion tenge. These products are needed for the modernization of networks, stations, heat supply, water supply and sewage.A list of 187 enterprises producing more than 700 types of products has been created.“Domestic enterprises have the ability to fully meet the demand for reinforced concrete products, polyethylene pipes and certain types of transformers, boilers, cable products and switches,” the Vice Minister noted.The Vice Minister noted that today in Kazakhstan there is an opportunity to isolate production for more than 330 types of products out of the total demand.A mechanism for concluding offtake contracts is being considered for the localization of these types of goods. Thus, the needs of natural monopoly entities in goods will be analyzed by the technical operator. The analyzed volume will be provided to the national institutions “Kazakhinvest” and “Qazindustry”. These institutions will work to select investors or existing domestic producers who are ready to launch new types of production.Within the framework of the national project, we intend to establish mechanisms for supporting domestic producers in regulatory legal acts in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Recall that since October 1, 2024, the Unified Operator for Labeling and Tracking of Goods (Tañba) has been offering a service for obtaining control identification marks (CIS) for exporters of Kazakhstani light industrial goods. The innovation has allowed 120 Kazakhstani exporters to mark their textile products for sale on Wildberries, Ozon and other popular marketplaces. Previously, Kazakhstani exporters did not have such an opportunity, and selling their goods through marketplaces in the Russian Federation was unavailable.From March 1, 2023, it has become mandatory to check the marking code of each light industrial product before selling it on marketplaces in Russia. Failure to check the marking code is a violation, and such a situation will lead to fines from both the marketplace and sellers of unmarked light industrial goods.Today, participants in commodity circulation are actively joining the digital marking system, which opens up new opportunities for export, including selling goods on popular marketplaces. The total number of BSBs ordered today is more than 196 thousand units.“Goods labeling plays an important role in strengthening the position of Kazakhstani goods in international markets. It not only increases market transparency and confidence in our products, but also helps them meet international standards. This is an important step for the development of exports and strengthening the image of Kazakhstan as a reliable trading partner,” said Yerlan Karabayev, head of the footwear labeling project.In addition to applying BSBs to light industrial goods, the exporter must send the goods shipping documents to the consignee through the Russian operator’s labeling system, so that he can put the BSB into circulation in the recipient country.Product labeling is a mandatory requirement for entering markets and marketplaces in a number of countries. This tool provides Kazakhstani exporters with access to international markets and increases consumer confidence in the brand.For reference: Since 2020, Kazakhtelecom has been appointed as the single operator for labeling and tracking goods in Kazakhstan. To date, mandatory labeling has been introduced for three product groups: footwear, tobacco products, and medicines. Pilot labeling projects have been launched for the following product groups: motor oils, brewing products, and jewelry.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/924212
