На совещании у вице-премьера – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина обсудили составляющие роста ВВП страны за 5 месяцев этого года и возможности интенсификации динамики развития отраслей, дающих наибольший вклад в экономику. Промышленность остается основным драйвером экономического роста: по итогам 2024 года ее доля в ВВП составила 25,7%. За январь - май 2025 года отрасль выросла на 6,4%. Однако темпы снижаются – еще месяц назад прирост был 6,6%. Главная причина – замедление в обрабатывающей промышленности, несмотря на рост добычи. Снижение индекса промышленного производства фиксируется в трех регионах: Восточно-Казахстанской области (90,4%), Улытау (96,2%) и Костанайской (97,6%).Отставание от планов в обработке связано прежде всего с металлургией, которая занимает 40% в структуре обрабатывающей промышленности. На совещании также рассмотрели потенциал роста в других сегментах — машиностроении, пищевой, химической и нефтеперерабатывающей промышленности.Еще одна отрасль с активным темпом роста – строительство.  При росте в 15,4% за 5 месяцев объем работ составил 2 трлн тенге. Однако в двух регионах – Атырауской и Улытауской областях – фиксируется отставание. В Атырау (43,2% от плана)  темпы снизились из-за приостановки работ на заводе в рамках проекта ТШО, в Улытау (78,4%) – из-за сокращения строительства и ремонта объектов в горнодобывающей сфере.В секторе жилищного строительства стоит задача ввести в строй в этом году 19 млн квадратных метров жилья. За 5 месяцев уже введено в эксплуатацию 6 млн кв. м жилья, что на 5,7% выше января-мая 2024 года. «Наша цель – достичь 6% роста ВВП в этом году. Для этого все отрасли реального сектора должны работать в соответствии с установленными индикаторами. Необходимо оперативно устранять административные барьеры и разработать для каждой отрасли с замедлением темпов четкие помесячные планы, чтобы компании нарастили выпуск продукции», — отметил Серик Жумангарин.                                                                                           https://primeminister.kz/ru/news/ekonomicheskiy-shtab-kak-kazakhstan-sobiraetsya-dostich-6-rosta-vvp-30159 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1017743?lang=kk

Service members of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan have joined the challenge launched by the beloved national icon and internationally acclaimed Kazakhstani artist, Dimash Kudaibergen — showing their support for national art and cultural heritage.The video featuring the Guardsmen became a true highlight of the challenge: in it, the service members perform a dance that blends elements of military drill with smooth choreography. The movements are performed with a deep sense of rhythm, respect for the music, and a distinctly national style.This initiative highlights that military service and culture can go hand in hand, nurturing a sense of pride and unity within society.“For us, this wasn’t just about participating in an online flash mob,” said Asel Mukhanbetzakir, one of the participants. “We wanted to show that Guardsmen not only strictly follow regulations but also sincerely love their country, its music, and its natural beauty.”The flash mob was inspired by the premiere of Dimash’s new music video “Tau içinde” (“In the Mountains”), based on lyrics by Saken Seifullin — a renowned Kazakh poet, writer, and one of the founders of modern Kazakh literature.The National Guard’s performance became one of the most striking and unconventional entries in the flash mob, emphasizing that art knows no boundaries — neither in uniform nor in rank. Press Service of the National Guard Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1017655?lang=kk

The meeting focused on the possibility of joint production and expansion of export channels for premium-quality Kazakh honey.Hungary produces approximately 25,000 to 30,000 tons of honey annually and ranks among the top five honey-producing countries in the European Union. Aranynektár Kft is one of the leading honey processors and exporters in the country, with production capacity to process up to 4,000 tons of honey per year and export channels reaching EU markets, the Middle East, and Asia.The Kazakh side proposed to consider the localization of production and processing of Kazakh honey within the country, followed by exports to the EU, Gulf countries, and Southeast Asia.Kazakhstan has unique natural conditions for organic beekeeping and produces over 5,000 tons of honey annually. In early 2025, Kazakhstan and the European Union agreed on a veterinary certificate, officially opening the path for honey exports to EU markets.Key investment incentives were also presented to the Hungarian partners, including tax and customs benefits, ready-made infrastructure in agro-industrial zones, and government support for logistics and energy supply.Both sides agreed to continue discussions on potential cooperation.

Every year, on the third Sunday of June, Kazakhstan celebrates Medical Workers’ Day. In 2025, this professional holiday falls on June 15. It honors doctors, nurses, paramedics, orderlies, and all those who stand guard over the health and lives of citizens.This day holds particular significance for those who provide medical aid under high-risk conditions — during combat, emergencies, and counter-terrorism operations. That is why one of the key initiatives of 2025 was the establishment of a Tactical Medicine Service within the structure of the National Guard of the Republic of Kazakhstan.Tactical medicine is a system of emergency care designed for situations where every second counts and where traditional civilian medical approaches are ineffective. As is well known, service members of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan are involved in ensuring public safety, conducting special and counter-terrorism operations, and responding to natural disasters and emergencies. In such environments, the ability to quickly and correctly assist the injured — even before medical teams arrive — is critical.Tactical medical training in the National Guard is based on the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) protocol — an international standard for providing care to the wounded in combat. This protocol has been adapted for law enforcement forces and consists of three main stages:Care Under Fire — providing aid while under fire (applying tourniquets, ensuring safety);Tactical Field Care — field care (controlling bleeding, ensuring airway and breathing, stabilizing the condition);Tactical Evacuation Care — evacuation care (providing medical support during transport to a treatment facility).Training is conducted in specialized centers and includes both theoretical lessons and hands-on practice using modern simulators that replicate battlefield injuries and real-life scenarios.Tactical medical training is not a one-off initiative, but part of a long-term strategy to modernize Kazakhstan’s law enforcement forces. This strategy aims to improve combat readiness, reduce personnel losses, and foster a culture of medical competence within the military environment.In addition, every service member of the patrol units in the National Guard receives basic first aid training. This is essential to ensure that soldiers can respond effectively to injuries sustained by fellow troops or civilians during emergencies — even before professional medical teams arrive.Tactical medical instructors regularly conduct drills and field exercises under conditions that closely resemble real-life operations. This training helps build psychological resilience and enables military personnel to react quickly and effectively to life-threatening situations — whether involving their own safety or that of others.On Medical Workers’ Day, it is important to remember: saving lives is not only the duty of doctors in hospitals. It is also the daily mission of military medics, instructors, and field paramedics who work under dangerous conditions.It must be said that the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan is taking a significant step forward by implementing modern tactical medicine standards focused on preserving life — both on peaceful city streets and in high-risk operational zones. Press Service of the National Guard Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1017588?lang=kk
