A meeting of the Interdepartmental Commission on Foreign Trade Policy and Participation in International Economic Organizations was held under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan - Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin.At the meeting, it was decided to reset the export customs duty on gallium, which previously amounted to 10%. The measure is aimed at stimulating gallium production in Kazakhstan and developing export potential.Despite the fact that gallium has not been produced in the country in recent years, global demand for this metal used in high-tech industries remains stable. Kazakhstan has the necessary resource potential to enter this market and can occupy a niche in the global supply chain. This, in turn, will create opportunities for the growth of export activity, increase foreign exchange earnings and expand the presence of Kazakhstani manufacturers in foreign markets.In addition, the Interdepartmental Commission supported the introduction of a ban on the export of blanks and ingots of non-ferrous metals from the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan by all modes of transport until December 31, 2025.The ban applies to raw copper, aluminum slabs and billets, and lead ingots.This measure is aimed at providing the domestic market with strategic raw materials, preventing the export of low-value-added products and stimulating the processing of non-ferrous metals within the country.Source: https://primeminister.kz/ru/news/mvk-podderzhka-proizvodstva-galliya-i-pererabotki-tsvetnykh-metallov-30257Данная мера направлена на обеспечение внутреннего рынка стратегическим сырьем, предотвращение вывоза продукции с низкой добавленной стоимостью и стимулирование переработки цветных металлов внутри страны.Источник: https://primeminister.kz/ru/news/mvk-podderzhka-proizvodstva-galliya-i-pererabotki-tsvetnykh-metallov-30257 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1033362?lang=kk

In Shymkent, 193 criminal cases were registered in the investigation bodies last week, 13 of which were sent to court. The most frequently registered crimes include fraud - 38 cases, theft - 27 cases, illegal drug trafficking - 12 cases, robbery - 10 cases, and 11 cases related to traffic accidents. The majority of fraud crimes are related to Internet fraud (28 cases). Among them, fraudulent methods are often found through fake product advertisements on the Internet (13 cases), false investment offers (3 cases), calls made by pretending to be bank employees, telecommunications operators, or representatives of government agencies (11 cases), and through loan processing (2 cases). For example, last week, an unknown person called a city resident named "G", introduced himself as an employee of the bank's security department, said that a dubious loan had been processed from his bank account, and informed him that the funds needed to be transferred to a "safe" account. As a result, the victim transferred more than 3,700,000 tenge to the fraudster's account. A criminal case has been opened on this fact and an investigation is underway. Since such cases of Internet fraud are registered every day, we urge residents and guests of the city to be vigilant: we recommend not to disclose personal data when receiving suspicious calls from unknown persons and to contact official hotlines for information regarding bank accounts. In addition, there is an increase in cases of pickpocketing and theft of mobile phones. On July 6, during a festive event in the central park, an unknown person secretly stole a mobile phone from the child of a citizen named "S". Since such thefts often occur, especially in markets, public transport and festive events, we advise residents not to put valuables in their pockets in crowded places and not to let children touch them. In addition, the availability of leaflets advertising drugs on the Internet encourages young people to engage in illegal courier services and drug use. According to statistics, young people who provide courier services are most often detained in cases related to drug trafficking. In this regard, we urge the younger generation not to be fooled by dubious messages on social networks, not to accept illegal offers, and to lead a healthy lifestyle. In addition, several traffic accidents were registered in the city last week, and the number of victims increased. Most of the criminal cases occurred due to drivers speeding and being distracted by mobile phones. In particular, 5 cases of pedestrians hitting and collisions with vehicles, 2 cases of pedestrians crossing in an unauthorized place, 1 case of minors driving scooters and mopeds without observing traffic rules, and 1 case of driving under the influence of alcohol were registered. In this regard, we urge city residents to strictly observe traffic rules, and parents to strictly prohibit the use of scooters and high-speed scooters in order to ensure the life and safety of children. This was announced by the official representative of the Shymkent city administration, deputy city akim, Sarsen Abayuly Kuranbek.

Environmental education should start from childhood. It is young people who are becoming real environmentalists today.During the meeting, examples of both the successful implementation of the program's objectives and the facts of insufficient control by individual enterprises, akimats and police authorities were considered. The akim of the region instructed to conduct internal inspections in cases where there was no reaction to the identified violations of landscaping.Kumar Aksakalov emphasized the importance of environmental patrolling. The participants of the Ecosakshy project were instructed to step up work in the districts of the region, as well as interact with law enforcement agencies and transmit the identified facts of violations through the Taza Kazakhstan chatbot.One of the new directions was the idea of creating a public space in the forest area near the village of Michurino, Kostanay region, as part of the future "green belt" of the city.

Организация экономического сотрудничества и развития (ОЭСР) представила отчет «Ответственное ведение бизнеса для обеспечения устойчивой инфраструктуры в Казахстане, Монголии и Узбекистане», в котором проанализирована степень интеграции принципов ответственного ведения бизнеса (ОВБ) в национальные стратегии устойчивого развития трёх стран. Казахстану в документе уделено особое внимание как стране, добившейся значительного прогресса в институционализации стандартов ОВБ, на системном уровне включившей их в свою социально-экономическую повестку.По оценке экспертов, Казахстан демонстрирует всесторонний и межсекторально согласованный подход к реализации принципов ОВБ. Национальная стратегия охватывает критически важные направления: охрану труда, экологическую модернизацию, декарбонизацию, развитие человеческого капитала и стимулирование участия бизнеса в ESG-повестке.В отчёте подчёркивается, что достигнутый прогресс во многом обеспечен системными мерами Правительства Республики Казахстан, направленными на поддержку отечественных производителей, развитие малого и среднего бизнеса, а также на укрепление устойчивых механизмов экономического развития.В качестве ключевых инициатив Казахстана, получившими положительную оценку ОЭСР приведены несколько критериев:Безопасность труда. Казахстан демонстрирует значительные усилия в снижении производственного травматизма и создании безопасных условий труда. С 2019 года реализуется концепция Vision Zero, направленная на достижение нулевого уровня производственного травматизма и смертности. С 2024 года внедряется цифровая карта мониторинга условий труда, позволяющая обеспечить прозрачность и контроль за соблюдением стандартов безопасности на предприятиях. Дополнительно утверждена Концепция безопасного труда на 2024–2030 годы, которая служит системной основой для профилактики профессиональных рисков и внедрения культуры охраны труда.Экологическая модернизация. Важным элементом устойчивой инфраструктуры стало внедрение механизмов перехода к экологически чистому производству. Предприятия, применяющие наилучшие доступные технологии (НДТ), освобождаются от уплаты экологического налога на выбросы. При этом государство предоставляет как финансовую, так и техническую поддержку в модернизации производств, включая субсидирование инвестиций, упрощение процедур и консультационное сопровождение.Развитие возобновляемой энергетики. Казахстан стимулирует инвестиции в проекты по использованию возобновляемых источников энергии (ВИЭ). С 2016 года для таких проектов действуют налоговые льготы, а с 2020 года — полное освобождение от НДС и таможенных пошлин на импортируемое оборудование. Помимо фискальных стимулов, предусмотрены гранты в размере до 30% от объёма инвестиций, что делает рынок ВИЭ более привлекательным для инвесторов.Программа «Тариф в обмен на инвестиции». Этот механизм направлен на возмещение затрат инвесторов в сфере инфраструктуры и энергетики через регулируемые тарифы. Программа обеспечивает предсказуемость возврата инвестиций, способствуя привлечению частного капитала в модернизацию энергетических и коммунальных систем.Развитие человеческого капитала. Учитывая значимость кадрового обеспечения для устойчивого роста, 2025 год в Казахстане объявлен Годом рабочих профессий. Основной акцент сделан на профессиональное обучение и повышение квалификации специалистов в приоритетных секторах: энергетике, строительстве, водоснабжении и транспорте. Эти меры способствуют укреплению институционального и трудового потенциала в критически важных отраслях инфраструктуры.Существенная часть анализа в отчете ОЭСР посвящена деятельности АО «Фонд национального благосостояния «Самрук-Қазына», который признан ключевым институциональным механизмом продвижения принципов ответственного ведения бизнеса (ОВБ) и устойчивого развития в Казахстане. Фонд рассматривается как катализатор перехода государственных предприятий к ESG-ориентированным практикам, демонстрируя высокий уровень институциональной зрелости и управленческой последовательности. Его деятельность направлена не только на обеспечение возврата инвестиций в стратегическую инфраструктуру, но и на реализацию социальной миссии по укреплению локальной промышленности и предпринимательства.Среди приоритетных инструментов реализации этой повестки выделяются: заключение долгосрочных контрактов с отечественными поставщиками; системное вовлечение субъектов малого и среднего бизнеса в производственные цепочки дочерних компаний; стимулирование развития отечественных компетенций и локализация ключевых элементов инфраструктурных проектов. Подход фонда способствует формированию устойчивой экономической базы и расширению участия частного сектора в реализации стратегических задач.Особое внимание уделяется внедрению корпоративных стандартов в области прав человека, антикоррупционного комплаенса, экологического управления и оценки рисков, что отражено в политике устойчивого развития и корпоративном кодексе Фонда. «Самрук-Қазына» также ежегодно раскрывает данные в сфере нефинансовой отчетности и направляет не менее 7% чистой прибыли на социальные и благотворительные программы. Такая комплексная модель управления получила позитивную оценку ОЭСР и рекомендована к распространению в других структурах государственного сектора как пример эффективного институционального подхода к реализации принципов ОВБ.Наряду с признанием достигнутого прогресса, ОЭСР формулирует ряд рекомендаций по углублению политики ОВБ. Среди них — усиление координации между министерствами, особенно с участием Национального контактного центра; развитие процедур должной осмотрительности в добывающих отраслях; поддержка трудовых прав в рамках реализации Концепции безопасного труда; продвижение экологических стандартов через расширение применения НДТ (Наилучшие доступные технологии) и возможное внедрение системы торговли квотами на выбросы.Кроме того, предлагается расширить антикоррупционные меры с вовлечением гражданского общества в сфере инвестиций в инфраструктуру, внедрить устойчивые критерии в практику государственных закупок, а также активизировать инструменты устойчивого финансирования. Казахстану рекомендуется масштабировать модель, применяемую Фондом «Самрук-Қазына», на весь государственный сектор, включая те активы, которые находятся вне его управления. Это позволит закрепить принципы ОВБ как универсальную управленческую норму в развитии инфраструктуры и обеспечить долгосрочную устойчивость экономической модели страны. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1032572?lang=kk
