The results of a CART.IS study were presented in Astana, identifying areas where Kazakhstan needs to accelerate trade digitalization. The project is being implemented with the support of the European Union and the International Trade Centre.The meeting brought together representatives from the Ministry of Trade and Integration, QazTrade, government agencies, and international partners. The goal of the meeting was to determine how to make data exchange between agencies and countries faster, more transparent, and fully digital.The analysis covered 27 key services involved in foreign economic activity. Of these, 81% are already provided electronically, while only 19% remain paper-based. Furthermore, 15 government IT systems operate independently: only 11 services are connected to the interdepartmental electronic interaction system, while 14 still require integration.The study also found that 60% of cross-border procedures require digital integration with systems in other countries, primarily Russia, China, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan. The lack of such integration leads to document duplication and additional costs for businesses.Vice Minister of Trade and Integration Aidar Abildabekov noted that further simplification of trade procedures requires not just digitalization, but also the interoperability of government systems architectures. "The CART.IS initiative is not just an analytical exercise, but a practical tool that will help Kazakhstan make foreign trade faster, more transparent, and more predictable" he emphasized.The Ambassador of the European Union to the Republic of Kazakhstan, Aleska Simkic, noted that Kazakhstan has already established itself as a leader in digital transformation in the region. "The country is demonstrating impressive results in paperless trade and e-government development. This is a solid foundation for expanding economic ties with Europe" she said.The study also revealed that only five of the twelve participating institutions have their own digitalization departments. This finding highlights the need to strengthen institutional capacity and improve coordination between agencies. QazTrade Deputy Director General Nurlan Kulbatyrov added that the transition to completely paperless trade could increase Kazakhstan's trade turnover by 10-15% annually by reducing costs for businesses.The CART.IS analysis was conducted as part of the Ready4Trade: Fostering Prosperity through the Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor project, funded by the European Union and implemented by the International Trade Centre. The project aims to modernize trade procedures, develop regional connectivity, and support small and medium-sized businesses in Central Asian countries. The International Trade Centre is a joint agency of the World Trade Organization and the UN that helps businesses from developing countries enter global markets. The European Union, which comprises 27 Member States, promotes sustainable development, democracy, and free trade worldwide. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1100974?lang=kk

7 ноября 2025 года в Алматы состоялось выездное заседание Общественной палаты при Мажилисе Парламента РК, в котором принял участие вице-министр национальной экономики РК Бауыржан Омарбеков.В центре обсуждения - проект Закона «О внесении изменений и дополнений в Закон Республики Казахстан «О местном государственном управлении и самоуправлении»», инициированный депутатами Мажилиса.В своем выступлении вице-министр отметил значимость проводимых реформ по совершенствованию системы местного самоуправления и остановился на ключевых положениях законопроекта.Местное самоуправление, подчеркнул он, является институциональной основой гражданской активности и важным механизмом формирования доверия и ответственности между государством и обществом.Развитие избирательного институтаВице-министр напомнил, что в 2021 году были введены прямые выборы акимов сельских округов. По состоянию на 1 ноября 2025 года избрано 863 сельских акима, а с момента запуска реформы проведено почти 3,5 тысячи выборов.Следующим этапом стало внедрение прямых выборов районных акимов. В 2022 году был принят соответствующий закон, в 2023 году прошли пилотные выборы, а с текущего года - постоянные.На сегодняшний день избраны 48 районных и 4 городских акима областного значения. В текущем году выборы прошли в семи регионах страны - в Северо-Казахстанской, Алматинской, Акмолинской, Кызылординской, Туркестанской и Абайской областях, а также в одном районе Восточно-Казахстанской области.Совершенствование законодательства30 июня текущего года в Мажилис внесены законопроекты, направленные на дальнейшее развитие избирательных процессов. Они предусматривают создание избирательных фондов кандидатами в акимы, запрет на финансирование вне этих фондов и другие поправки.Одной из ключевых задач остается повышение ответственности за выполнение предвыборных обещаний.Финансовая самостоятельность и новые источники доходовФинансовая независимость названа одним из ключевых условий эффективной работы избранных акимов.С момента введения бюджета IV уровня (с 2018 года) собственные поступления в сельские бюджеты выросли в 3,5 раза - с 32,2 млрд до 112,2 млрд тенге в 2024 году.Для дальнейшего укрепления финансовой базы предлагается расширить источники доходов за счет перераспределения налогов и сборов, включая плату за использование водных ресурсов, лицензии на отдельные виды деятельности и другие платежи.Обучение и цифровизацияВ 2025 году запущена программа переподготовки акимов сельских округов, направленная на развитие управленческих компетенций и инфраструктуры. Первая волна обучения охватила 1 784 акима, вторая - стартовала в сентябре и включает 428 участников.Кроме того, в пилотном режиме реализуется проект «Цифровое рабочее место акима», обеспечивающий доступ к государственным базам данных.Пилот охватывает 34 села в 17 регионах страны. До конца года проект планируется внедрить во всех сельских округах.Бауыржан Омарбеков подчеркнул, что предлагаемые меры направлены на укрепление финансовой и институциональной самостоятельности местных органов власти, повышение прозрачности и эффективности управления на местах.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1100917?lang=kk

At the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, QazTrade, the single export development operator under the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Republic of Kazakhstan, showcased the potential of cooperatives. This year, the country was represented at all four venues: the national pavilion, the All-China Federation of Cooperatives (China Co-Op) stand, the Jiangsu SOHO area, and, for the first time, a separate pavilion for the city of Almaty. This comprehensive approach attracted a record number of Kazakhstani producers.Thanks to the joint work of QazTrade and the National Association of Cooperatives of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NACOFEC) with China Coop, China's largest cooperative chain, the first batches of honey, kumys, shubat, and confectionery will soon appear on store shelves in China. The chain comprises over 340,000 stores, with an annual turnover exceeding 7 trillion yuan.More than 30 companies and cooperatives were represented at the Kazakhstani cooperatives' stand in Shanghai, including QazExport Global, GEOM LLP, OIL ECO LLP, Prombaza-7, SHERSTNEV GROUP, IceMaster, Dinastiya Agro, Kokshetau Mineral Water JSC, MADI, Nauryz-5, Run Planet Organic, JAIN LLP, Danaker LLP, Mareven Food Tien Shan, Telli Kazakhstan LLP, NefisGroup Ltd., Industry of Semirechye, KAZAGRO-PRO LLP, KOMEK ASIA GROUP, Light Way Solution LLP, LWS Agro LLP, LWS TERMINAL LLP, and Baraka No. 1. Their participation demonstrates the real potential of Kazakhstani cooperatives on the international stage.As President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev previously noted in his 2025 Address: "Rural cooperation offers great prospects for the development of the agricultural sector. A corresponding pilot project was implemented. As a result, crop yields in participating agricultural cooperatives doubled, and livestock growth increased by almost a quarter. This successful experience should be gradually scaled up across the country, taking into account regional specifics.""Entering the Chinese market through cooperation will allow domestic companies not only to enter the Chinese market but also to establish a strong presence there in the long term. Joint marketing research has already been conducted, the first trial deliveries have been organized, and priority product categories such as flour, vegetable oils, meat, honey, dairy drinks, and confectionery have been identified," noted QazTrade CEO Aitmuhammed Aldazharov.According to the speaker, a parallel acceleration and training program for Chinese companies is being launched, expanding their presence in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, thereby creating a mutually beneficial platform for the sustainable development of bilateral trade.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1100001?lang=kk

The Shanghai International Import Expo is in its eighth year, bringing together major players in global trade. This year, representatives from 155 countries and over 4,100 foreign companies are participating, with over 449,000 professional visitors. This year, over 100 Kazakhstani manufacturers are participating, a record number for the country's participation in the CIIE."For Kazakhstan, participation in the Shanghai Expo has long been a strategic priority. This platform opens up new export opportunities for domestic producers and serves as a gateway not only to China but also to other global markets," noted Minister of Trade and Integration Arman Shakkaliyev."The Shanghai Expo is taking on particular significance amid changes in China's economic policy. The country is focusing on developing domestic consumption through imports, stimulating the influx of high-quality goods from around the world. The Chinese government's official roadmap this year places particular emphasis on developing trade with developing countries, including Central Asia," the minister added.By participating in the Shanghai Expo, Kazakh companies not only sign export contracts but also gain access to the world's largest consumer market. Over the past five years, mutual trade has nearly doubled, reaching $30.2 billion by 2024. Kazakh exports to China have doubled.According to QazTrade, the total volume of contracts signed by Kazakh companies during their participation in the Shanghai Expo in recent years has exceeded $306.5 million. In 2023–2024 alone, dozens of agreements were signed for the supply of oil and fat products, meat, vegetable oils, dried camel milk, juices, and purees. This year, new long-term contracts for the supply of agricultural and food products to China, Southeast Asia, and the Persian Gulf are expected to be signed.Also during the exhibition, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between QazTrade and the Shenzhen-based Chinese company Optimize Integration Group. The document aims to develop digital trade between Kazakhstan and China, create online platforms and digital tools for product promotion, and accelerate export processes. The parties agreed to jointly promote Kazakh food and agricultural products on the Chinese market, develop modern technologies and logistics, and improve mutual settlement conditions. OIG Group is one of the largest and most technologically advanced players in the food import sector in China. The company is among the country's top 500 largest enterprises, works with 31,000 suppliers worldwide, and has 15 offices in China and 11 representative offices abroad. OIG's platform handles 18% of all frozen food imported into China. This represents one in seven beef steaks, one in six chicken breasts, and one in five shrimp in the Chinese market."The Ministry of Trade and Integration is creating conditions for small and medium-sized businesses to enter international markets and integrate into global value chains. We are promoting Kazakhstani products in China using a regionalization approach—opening pavilions, representative offices, and trading houses in different provinces. Partner offices are already operating in Urumqi and Nanjing. Following the exhibition, new agreements were reached to expand the geographic presence of Kazakhstani companies. Today, Kazakhstan is represented at all four venues: the national pavilion, the All-China Federation of Cooperatives (China Co-Op), and the Jiangsu SOHO venue. This year, for the first time, Almaty presented its own pavilion. Thanks to this comprehensive approach, we attracted a record number of manufacturers this year," noted Arman Shakkaliyev, Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan.The joint program with China includes acceleration programs to adapt products to the requirements of the Chinese market, including packaging, branding, and promotion. An educational program for cooperative entrepreneurs is also being implemented, where they will receive training on product certification and the specifics of entering the Chinese market.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1099992?lang=kk

During a working visit to the city of Rudny, Kostanay Region Akim Kumar Aksakalov learned about the activities of companies implementing environmental and industrial initiatives, as well as the results of food industry modernization.Environmental Safety and Waste RecyclingOne of the key sites of the visit was the Rudny ABAT 2006 LLP solid waste landfill.The regional akim noted that ensuring environmental safety and rational waste management are among the region's priorities.A modern waste sorting facility with a capacity of 50,000 tons of waste per year has been commissioned in Rudny, compared to a demand of 40,000 tons. Furthermore, the company acquired a mobile facility for processing construction, wood, and other waste with a capacity of over 70,000 tons per year.The total investment in these projects amounted to 389.9 million tenge, supported by Zhasyl Damu JSC and the Entrepreneurship Development Fund.The implementation of these initiatives will improve the environmental situation, increase the level of raw material recycling, and reduce pollution."Creating an environmental culture requires systematic action—from the improvement of populated areas to the implementation of modern recycling technologies. The 'Taza Kazakhstan' program is aimed precisely at this," emphasized Kumar Aksakalov.Development of Industrial Potential and Beverage ProductionDuring the trip, the regional governor visited the Rudny branch of Firma Arasan LLC, one of the region's leading beverage producers.Founded 25 years ago, the company produces legendary brands, including the well-known Kostanay drink "Grushevyi."The production site has four workshops producing 16 varieties of draft beer, two types of kvass, non-alcoholic lemonades, as well as beer in aluminum cans and glass bottles.The plant's production capacity is 100 million liters per year.The plant employs approximately 400 people.In recent years, the company has been actively modernizing its equipment, installing state-of-the-art systems from German and Danish companies Ziemann and Alfa Laval, which improves quality and expands its product range."Developing the processing industry is a strategic objective. It is important for domestic brands to establish strong positions not only in the domestic but also in the international market. Companies like Arasan demonstrate how high-quality products can become a regional hallmark," noted Kumar Aksakalov.Meeting with Residents of RudnyAt the end of his working visit, Kumar Aksakalov met with residents of Rudny.During the meeting, current issues related to the region's socioeconomic development, public amenities, employment, and quality of life were discussed.The regional governor noted that open dialogue with residents allows for a timely response to public demands and improves the efficiency of local government bodies.Visit ResultsSummarizing the visit, the regional akim emphasized the importance of a comprehensive approach to the development of Rudny—from environmental projects to production support and job creation.Kumar Aksakalov thanked the enterprises' teams for their work and contribution to the region's development, noting that the Kostanay region is consistently strengthening its position as an industrial and environmentally sustainable center of the country.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1099952?lang=kk
