We are interested in expanding the volume of Kazakh products supplied to Hong Kong, including agricultural goods, products of the light and food industries, - noted Arman Shakkaliyev.One of the central topics of the meeting was the development of new areas of cooperation in gold trade, exchange infrastructure, and financial services. John Lee spoke about plans to establish an international gold trading center in Hong Kong and develop a modern ecosystem for precious metals operations. In this regard, the parties noted the importance of ensuring stable supplies, transparent business conditions, and long-term partnership among market participants.The Chief Executive of Hong Kong emphasized that Kazakhstan is one of the largest gold producers in the region and can occupy an important place in the emerging international precious metals trading system. According to him, the development of cooperation in this area can create new opportunities for both producers and financial institutions of the two sides.Separate attention was paid to strengthening direct ties between business circles. John Lee noted the importance of creating a sustainable infrastructure for interaction between entrepreneurs and proposed considering the possibility of expanding the presence of Kazakh trade and business representations in Hong Kong, as well as Hong Kong organizations in Kazakhstan.In turn, Arman Shakkaliyev presented the export support and business promotion tools implemented by Kazakhstan through QazTrade, the network of overseas partner representations, and trade houses. The Kazakh side expressed readiness to further develop these mechanisms to expand trade and investment ties with Hong Kong.Following the meeting, the parties agreed to prepare a joint plan of practical measures in the near future, including conducting business missions, organizing meetings between entrepreneurs, and working out promising investment projects.

On June 3, 2026, a seminar was held in Astana to present the study "The European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM): Market Access, Financial Implications, and Compliance for Kazakh Exporters of Aluminum and Ferrous Metallurgy." The event was attended by representatives of government agencies, businesses, international organizations, and the expert community. The welcoming speech was delivered by Zhanel Kushukova, Vice Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan.CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is a carbon regulation mechanism introduced by the European Union as part of the EU's climate policy. Its goal is to account for the volume of greenhouse gas emissions during the production of imported goods and to ensure uniform environmental requirements for European and foreign producers. Since January 1, 2026, the mechanism has entered its mandatory application phase, making the accounting of a product's carbon footprint one of the key conditions for access to the EU market.This issue is of particular importance for Kazakhstan, as the European Union remains one of the country's largest trading partners and the main market for Kazakh aluminum. The new requirements directly affect domestic exporters of aluminum, iron, and steel, who need to adapt to the changing conditions of international trade."According to the results of 2025, the EU's share in Kazakhstan's foreign trade was about 31%, and in the structure of Kazakh exports - about 44%. It is especially important to note that more than half of Kazakh aluminum exports are supplied precisely to the countries of the European Union," noted Zhanel Kushukova. To support businesses, the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the International Trade Centre, and JSC "QazTrade," within the framework of the Ready4Trade Central Asia project funded by the European Union, prepared a study assessing the impact of CBAM on Kazakhstan's aluminum and ferrous metallurgy industries. The document contains an analysis of possible financial implications, as well as practical recommendations for meeting the new requirements."The CBAM mechanism is one of the key elements of the European Union's broader climate and trade policy. Increasing transparency and improving sustainability reporting practices can help Kazakh exporters maintain competitiveness in the face of changing requirements on international markets. To facilitate this process, continued cooperation between government institutions, businesses, and international partners, such as the ITC, remains of paramount importance," emphasized Johannes Baur, Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation to Kazakhstan."According to the ITC-QazTrade study, the annual obligations of Kazakh exporters under the CBAM mechanism for just four key product categories - unwrought aluminum, ferrochrome, as well as bars and rods - amount to approximately 114 million euros based on 2025 shipment volumes.We have already begun the systematic adaptation of industrial exporters to the new European Union requirements. This work is aimed at minimizing the financial burden and preserving the competitiveness of Kazakh products in one of the most important markets for us," emphasized Nurlan Kulbatyrov, Deputy General Director of JSC "QazTrade."During the seminar, participants were presented with the main findings of the study and recommendations for preparing enterprises to operate under the new conditions. Particular attention was paid to issues of emission accounting and verification, maintaining the competitiveness of Kazakh products on the European market, and utilizing opportunities associated with the transition to more environmentally friendly production.Joost Pauwelyn, an ITC expert and lead author of the report, noted, "Currently, Kazakhstan exports steel and aluminum to the EU worth over 600 million euros. According to the assessment, using default emission values under CBAM could lead to annual CBAM-related costs exceeding 100 million euros. At the same time, 90% of this impact will fall on steel bars and rods, for which the estimated CBAM-related costs could exceed the product's own cost (123%). The good news is that Kazakh producers could significantly reduce these costs through simple measures: monitoring and declaring actual emissions instead of using default values, accrediting local verifiers, reducing emissions at production sites, and strengthening internal carbon pricing mechanisms."Seminar participants emphasized that successful adaptation to CBAM requires the development of national emission monitoring and verification infrastructure, training of qualified specialists, and strengthening cooperation between the state, businesses, and international partners. At the same time, the new climate requirements are viewed not only as an additional challenge but also as an incentive for production modernization, improving energy efficiency, and implementing modern environmental technologies.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1234299?lang=ru

Dear residents of Kostanay!Dear fellow countrymen!I wholeheartedly congratulate you on June 4th – the Day of the State Symbols of the Republic of Kazakhstan!The State Flag, Emblem, and Anthem are the pillars of our Independence and symbols of the national spirit. There is a Kazakh proverb: "Those with one banner have common roots, those with one path have a shared burden." Representatives of various ethnic groups in our country live in peace and harmony under the blue banner of Kazakhstan. We are united by our blue passport, common goals, and unwavering faith in the constructive power of the reforms being implemented.One of the important historical steps on this path was the adoption of the new Constitution in the nationwide referendum on March 15. The Basic Law is a guarantee of the state's stability and a solid foundation for the unity of the people. The key values enshrined in the Constitution – human rights, law and order, social justice, and the principles of responsible citizenship – have today become the basis of state policy.Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted: "Our interests, our path, and our goal are one. This is the construction of a Just, Safe, and Clean Kazakhstan. If through the Constitution we ensure the supremacy of law and order, preserve and strengthen our unity, then we can conquer any heights."In the Kostanay region, large-scale transformations are also being implemented step by step, which is clearly confirmed by the pace of the region's development.The Head of State outlined a strategic task - to ensure annual economic growth of the country at a level of at least 6 percent. Over the past two years, we have consistently been fulfilling this instruction, demonstrating stable positive dynamics.Thus, in 2024, economic growth exceeded the set target of 6% and amounted to 8.3%. In 2025, with a planned target of 6.5%, growth reached 8.2%. The task for the current year is to ensure economic growth of no less than 6 percent and maintain positive momentum.Currently, the Kostanay region is the center of mechanical engineering in Kazakhstan. We produce 25% of the country's mechanical engineering output. And this share will continue to grow.New production facilities are being created. In 2022, there were 4 large mechanical engineering plants operating in the region. These are "SaryarkaAutoProm" LLP, "AgromashHolding KZ" JSC, "Machine-Building Plant MTZ-Kazakhstan" LLP, and "Kostanay Tractor Plant" LLP.Then, over the past three years, five more modern production facilities have appeared. These are a Kia automobile plant, a plant producing drive axles for heavy-duty vehicles, a plant producing engine blocks and cylinder heads for trucks, a plant producing springs for railway transport, and a plant for manufacturing auto components for passenger cars is preparing to launch.More than 3,000 jobs have been created.In the agro-industrial complex, 7 large dairy farms have been built, and another 5 are planned to open this year.Furthermore, the "S-Agro Borovskoe" LLP plant for producing dried mare's milk, the modern milling complex "Aruana-2010" LLP, the "KAIZEN" LLP legume processing factory, and the "MILH" LLP cheese production plant with a capacity of 10,000 tons have been launched.The construction of the "Confectionery Capital" factory is being completed. Thanks to this project, the region will become a major producer of confectionery products in the country.To develop transport logistics, the construction of the international transport and logistics complex "Tobyl" is underway in the regional center.Following the instruction of Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, construction has begun on the strategically important "Center - West" highway. Additionally, the road from Arkalyk will be fully repaired this year.To develop the southern districts of the region, the construction of an airport in Arkalyk is nearing completion. The facility will be commissioned within the next month and a half. Thus, direct flights will operate from Arkalyk to Kostanay, Astana, and Almaty.The social sphere remains a priority for the region, with special attention paid to rural development.Over the past period, more than 1,000 streets (1,074) in 305 rural settlements have been repaired, access roads to 185 villages have been improved, and 76 km of sidewalks have been laid. Asphalt pavement has been installed for the first time on 293 streets in 293 villages.Housing construction is actively developing.
