      The arrival of a baby brings many happy moments, accompanied by an important step: applying for the relevant benefits. Parents can obtain the childbirth allowance through the "Government for Citizens" State Corporation. In the first eight months of this year, over 200,000 families have already processed this one-time childbirth payment.There is no need to apply in person, as the service is available proactively. Once the child's birth is registered, the parent receives an SMS notification. Simply confirming consent to receive the service and providing bank account details is enough for the allowance to be granted automatically.The highest volume of payments is concentrated in the southern regions and cities of national significance. The Turkistan Region is the clear leader in the number of processed benefits, with over 28,000 families receiving payments. Almaty ranks second with over 19,000 payments, followed by Astana, where more than 17,000 families received state support.The amount of the one-time state financial aid depends on the child's birth order. In 2026, the payment for the birth of a first, second, or third child is 164,350 tenge, while for subsequent children, it is 272,475 tenge.It is also important to note the application timeframe. Documents must be submitted within 18 months of the child's birth; after this period, the right to the payment is forfeited.Applications can be submitted at "Government for Citizens" State Corporation branches, with a processing time of up to seven working days. If the application is submitted via the e-government portal or a commercial bank's mobile app, the payment is processed within four working days.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/abay-kurchatov/press/news/details/1294340?lang=ru

Copies have also been donated to libraries in Ulaanbaatar and across Mongolia’s provinces.Batbayar noted that, more than 130 years after they were written, Abai’s reflections remain relevant today.«As I read Abai, I often found myself thinking that his words speak just as directly to people today» he said.Ambassador Seitakynov emphasised that Abai’s legacy has long transcended national boundaries, resonating with readers across countries and cultures.He thanked Batbayar for introducing Mongolian readers to Kazakh literature and underscored the important role of writers and translators in strengthening cultural ties between the two countries.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-ulaanbaatar/press/news/details/1294277?lang=ru

Starting September 19, 2026, the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan is launching weekly agricultural fairs "Dala Dami" across the country.

Trading places will be designed in the unified style of the "Dala Dami" project, reflecting the harvest season, the wealth of Kazakhstan's land and the labor of domestic producers.At the same time, "Dala Dami" is not only a trading platform. The fairs will be organized as a public space for spending weekends with family. The venues are planned to create a festive atmosphere with seasonal decoration, national elements, tastings, activities for children and other events.Autumn is traditionally perceived as a time of harvest, abundance and summing up the results of spring-summer labor. Therefore, the project is designed to show not only the finished products, but also their path from the land and the producer's labor to the consumer's table."Dala Dami" fairs will be held every weekend starting from September 19, 2026.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1294269?lang=ru

As part of the implementation of the Address by Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to the people of Kazakhstan, “Kazakhstan in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Current Challenges and Solutions through Digital Transformation,” the country is undertaking a comprehensive overhaul of its investment policy.In December 2025, the Investment Policy Concept through 2030 was adopted, and Baiterek Holding was transformed into a national investment holding company. The new model is focused on attracting private and foreign capital and developing domestic production, infrastructure, technology, and non-resource exports. By 2029, an additional USD 150 billion in investment is planned to be attracted through the Holding’s instruments.The approach to attracting capital is also being improved: the state is shifting toward proactive investor outreach and targeting. For example, the regions identify priority sectoral niches and prepare investment proposals that have undergone preliminary development.The investor support system is being restructured and now operates at the external, central, and regional levels. A Fast Track mechanism is used to expedite project implementation, while the powers of the Investment Headquarters under the Government are being expanded. Investor protection has been strengthened: a “prosecutorial filter” is in place, a unified register of problematic issues and complaints is being established, and mechanisms for the pre-trial settlement of investment disputes are being improved. In 2025, 30 Investment Agreements were concluded; in 2026, 26 agreements have already been concluded for approximately KZT 5.2 trillion.In addition, a task force working-group mechanism is being established to support key foreign partners, and a “green corridor” is being applied to expedite the necessary procedures. The digital component of the new model provides for the development of the National Digital Investment Platform and the creation of an Integrated Analytical System for Monitoring Investment Projects, incorporating data analytics tools and artificial intelligence elements.Fixed capital investment grew by 16.7% in 2025Investment activity in Kazakhstan continues to show positive momentum. In 2024, fixed capital investment exceeded KZT 19.4 trillion, with real growth of 8%. In 2025, the figure increased to approximately KZT 23.5 trillion, while the real growth rate accelerated to 16.7%.Between January and August 2026, more than KZT 13.5 trillion was invested in fixed capital, 8.1% more than in the same period of the previous year. The share of fixed capital investment in GDP increased from 14.2% in 2024 to 14.7% in 2025. In the first half of 2026, it stood at 13.4%.At the same time, a new investment portfolio is being developed. A unified information center, Kazakhstan Investment House, is planned to be established in Astana on the basis of Kazakh Invest and to operate as a “one-stop shop.” To date, 667 specific projects with a total investment volume of USD 162.5 billion have been selected, along with an additional pipeline of projects aimed at developing the raw-material base worth USD 42.6 billion.New projects attracted in 2024–2025 include facilities in advanced processing, industry, the agro-industrial complex, and transport infrastructure. In the Zhambyl Region, Fufeng Group is implementing a USD 350 million deep corn-processing project: construction and installation works began in 2025, and the first phase is expected to be launched in 2026. In the Akmola Region, Dalian Hesheng Holding Group is building a USD 500 million deep wheat-processing complex. Spain’s Roca Group is implementing a USD 70 million project in the Kyzylorda Region to establish a plant for the manufacture and assembly of sanitary ware.In the Almaty Region, Solico Group has begun construction of a USD 58.8 million cheese production facility with a capacity of 155 tonnes of products per day; commissioning of the facility, which is expected to create approximately 400 jobs, is scheduled for 2027. Guoyou Materials Group is developing a USD 1.1 billion project for a new port on Kazakhstan’s Caspian coast with a throughput capacity of up to 15 million tonnes. Switzerland’s Harvest Group SA has commenced implementation of a USD 700 million agro-industrial cluster providing for the phased conversion of 300,000 hectares of land into irrigated agricultural land.The share of budget funds fell to 14%, while the share of non-budgetary sources rose to 86%One of the notable changes concerns the structure of investment financing. In 2024, state budget funds accounted for 21.6% of total fixed capital investment; in 2025, the share was 21.5%. Between January and August 2026, it declined to 14%.Non-budgetary sources already accounted for 86% of investment during this period. Enterprises’ own funds remain the principal source, at 66.7%. Bank loans accounted for 5.6%, while other borrowed funds accounted for 13.7%.Current trends indicate a declining role for direct budget financing and a growing share of businesses’ own and borrowed funds. This model is consistent with the objective of using state instruments not as the sole source of capital, but as a mechanism for mobilizing additional private resources.The share of manufacturing in investment increased to 14.1%In 2025, some of the highest real growth rates in investment were recorded in the energy sector at 61.8%, the agro-industrial complex at 51.8%, manufacturing at 39%, and information and communications at 32%.The trend continued in 2026. Between January and August, real investment increased by 49.3% in the energy sector, 45.3% in information and communications, 39.9% in manufacturing, and 17.6% in the agro-industrial complex.Particularly notable is the change in the shares of individual sectors in total investment. In manufacturing, the share increased from 10.7% in 2024 to 12.7% in 2025 and to 14.1% between January and August 2026. In the agro-industrial complex, it increased from 3.8% to 5.6%; in energy, from 6.9% to 9.7%; and in information and communications, from 1.8% to 2.3%.Against this backdrop, the share of the mining industry declined from 18.7% in 2024 to 13.9% in the first eight months of 2026.These changes are also reflected in the structure of the economy. Manufacturing’s share of GDP increased from 12.4% in 2024 to 12.8% in 2025 and reached 14% in the first half of 2026. At the same time, the oil and gas sector’s share declined from 8.1% to 7.8% of GDP, while the share of the mining industry as a whole decreased from 12% to 11.7%.KZT 8 trillion for the real sector: Baiterek restructures its financing systemA key role in the new investment architecture is assigned to Baiterek Holding. In 2026, financing for the real sector through its instruments is planned to remain at KZT 8 trillion, including KZT 1 trillion through the capitalization of the Holding.Financing parameters are also changing. The Development Bank of Kazakhstan has raised the minimum financing threshold for investment projects to KZT 15 billion and for export transactions to KZT 3 billion, thereby focusing on major strategic initiatives. The Industrial Development Fund is placing greater emphasis on mechanical engineering: the minimum financing amount for such projects has been set at KZT 1 billion, whereas for projects outside mechanical engineering, the minimum total investment project value is KZT 15 billion.Since the beginning of the year, the total volume of support, including the housing sector, has reached KZT 7.4 trillion, of which KZT 5.4 trillion has been allocated to entrepreneurship. Through the Damu Fund, approximately 5,000 SME projects worth KZT 1.4 trillion have been supported. More than KZT 1 trillion has been allocated to the agro-industrial complex through the Agrarian Credit Corporation and KazAgroFinance for more than 10,000 agricultural producers. Approximately KZT 2.5 trillion has been channeled through the Development Bank of Kazakhstan, the Industrial Development Fund, and Qazaqstan Investment Corporation to finance 504 large-business projects and investment initiatives. The Export Credit Agency provided support to 78 exporters totaling more than KZT 522 billion.Up to KZT 7 billion per project and a guarantee of up to 85%: support for small businesses expandedFor small and medium-sized businesses, expanding access to financing remains the principal area of support. For loans of up to KZT 7 billion under the Guarantee Fund, the guarantee may cover up to 85% of the financing amount, but no more than KZT 3.5 billion. The mechanism may be used for investment purposes, working capital replenishment, and refinancing.The preferential lending program “Orleu” continues: financing of up to KZT 7 billion is provided at a final interest rate of 12.6% per annum for a term of up to 10 years. Priority sectors include manufacturing, tourism, IT, and creative industries. To modernize production capacity, “Orleu Leasing” provides financing of up to KZT 500 million per borrower.A separate instrument is the Unified Small Business Support Program “Isker Aimaq.” The maximum loan amount under the program is KZT 200 million. Funds may be used both for investment purposes and for working capital. The subsidy amounts to 40% of the nominal interest rate and 50% for social entrepreneurship entities; the subsidy period is up to three years. Processing and manufacturing have been designated as the program’s core focus.At the same time, interaction between businesses and development institutions is being streamlined. A unified front office has been established, the 1408 contact center, a CRM system, and a unified AI assistant have been launched, and integration with the National Digital Investment Platform has been completed.346 projects worth KZT 884.6 billion allocated to modernization of public utility infrastructureThe Holding’s investment mechanisms also extend to infrastructure modernization. Under the National Project for the Modernization of the Energy and Utilities Sectors (NPMEUS), Baiterek acts as the financial operator, arranging and coordinating financing through subsidiaries, second-tier banks, and international financial institutions.To date, 346 projects with a total value of KZT 884.6 billion have been approved under this mechanism. They are aimed at upgrading utility networks, reducing accident rates, and improving the quality of heat, electricity and water supply, as well as wastewater services.KZT 250.5 billion in six months: agricultural leasing volume nearly doubled year-on-yearAnother area of focus is the renewal of agricultural machinery. In 2025, KazAgroFinance concluded leasing agreements totaling KZT 268.9 billion for the acquisition of 10,393 units of machinery. In the first half of 2026, financing had already reached KZT 250.5 billion, compared with KZT 126.6 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year. The company’s services were used by 3,931 agricultural producers.A range of leasing programs is available to renew the machinery and tractor fleet. Preferential leasing of agricultural machinery is provided at an annual interest rate of 6% for up to 10 years; a separate program offers a 5% annual rate for up to 7 years with a down payment of at least 10%. Under the “Made in Kazakhstan” program, domestically produced machinery and vehicles are available at 6% per annum for up to 10 years; the “Own Feed” program, on the same terms, covers forage-harvesting machinery and mobile irrigation systems. For agricultural producers that do not qualify for preferential programs, “Agroleasing” is available at 12.6% per annum for up to 10 years.The leasing application process is fully available online: an agricultural producer may submit an application remotely, while an AI-powered service analyzes the documents and issues a decision on the application within 10 minutes. An electronic queue for preferential programs via a Telegram bot and an AI-based online monitoring system for leased assets have also been launched.At the end of 2025, the total volume of support provided through Baiterek Holding’s instruments across all areas amounted to KZT 10.4 trillion. In 2026, the focus remains on financing the real sector, launching production facilities, infrastructure projects, supporting entrepreneurship, the agro-industrial complex, and exports.#ZiPSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1294087?lang=ru

Депутатам Курултая представили законопроект о республиканском бюджете на 2027-2029 годы. Презентация прошла под председательством главы Комитета по финансам и бюджету Ольги Перепечиной, с участием заместителя Председателя Курултая Дании Еспаевой и ответственных членов Правительства.В своем приветственном слове Дания Еспаева отметила, что 2027-2029 годы были заявлены как период перехода к более жесткой бюджетной политике за счет сокращения дефицита и постепенного снижения зависимости от нефтяных средств. При этом для вновь созданного Курултая это первый бюджетный цикл и один из наиболее ответственных законодательных процессов.Как подчеркнула вице-спикер, Курултаю представлен значительный объем материалов, предусмотренный новым Бюджетным кодексом. Это позволяет депутатам оценить не только непосредственно доходы и расходы, но и, что гораздо шире, устойчивость всей системы государственных финансов. Особое внимание будет уделено неукоснительному и эффективному исполнению всех поручений Главы государства по развитию страны, – подчеркнула Дания Еспаева.– Наша цель – не просто говорить о проблемах, а вносить свой вклад в их решение. Контроль со стороны профессионального Курултая должен быть еще более широким: если мы поднимаем тот или иной вопрос, нам следует предлагать и возможные пути его решения. Такого же подхода к работе мы ожидаем и от Правительства. Если у депутатов возникают сомнения относительно расчетов, эффективности расходов или достижения установленных показателей, мы ожидаем содержательного ответа: почему принято такое решение, какие существуют альтернативные варианты, какой результат ожидается и кто будет за него отвечать, – заявила заместитель Председателя Курултая.В свою очередь, председатель Комитета по финансам и бюджету Ольга Перепечина добавила, что при рассмотрении проекта республиканского бюджета депутатский корпус будет настаивать на жестком контроле за освоением средств. Главными приоритетами бюджета на предстоящий трехлетний период определены сохранение макроэкономической устойчивости, опережающее строительство инфраструктурных и социальных объектов, а также выполнение всех социальных обязательств государства.Представляя прогноз социально-экономического развития, первый вице-министр национальной экономики Азамат Амрин сообщил, что в его основу заложен рост экономики в среднем более 5% в год. Основными источниками должны выступать не нефтяные отрасли. По словам замглавы МНЭ, темпы роста обрабатывающей промышленности (среднегодовой рост – 5,9%) будут опережать рост в горнодобывающей промышленности (2,0%). Одним из драйверов роста экономики также станет сельское хозяйство (не менее 5%).С основными положениями проекта закона «О республиканском бюджете на 2027-2029 годы» депутатов ознакомил вице-министр финансов Абзал Бейсенбекұлы. По его информации, поступления на                2027 год прогнозируются на уровне 25,4 трлн тенге, 19,9 трлн тенге из которых – доходы без учета трансфертов. Расходная часть увеличится до 30,2 трлн тенге. Таким образом, дефицит составит 4,6 трлн тенге, или 2,3% к ВВП. При этом к 2029 году прогнозируется снижение бюджетного дефицита до 0,4%, а собственные доходы увеличатся до 23,4 трлн тенге.– Первое и самое приоритетное направление в структуре расходов – инвестиции в человека. В 2027 году на человеческий капитал предусмотрено 10,5 трлн тенге, или 35% общего объема бюджета. Очень важно понимать, что за этими цифрами стоят конкретные люди. Бюджет социальной сферы ориентирован на человека – то есть направлен на обеспечение его социальной защищенности, здоровья, образования и возможностей для развития. Основная часть средств приходится на социальное обеспечение и здравоохранение, – рассказал вице-министр финансов.По итогам презентации состоялось обсуждение законопроекта. Депутаты подняли вопросы различий между прогнозами экономического роста Правительства и оценками международных экспертов, планируемого снижения бюджетного дефицита, отбора проектов, финансируемых за счет трансфертов из Национального фонда, и прохождения ими необходимых бюджетных процедур. Кроме того, внимание было уделено эффективности финансирования сельского хозяйства, ожидаемым результатам увеличения уставного капитала «Аграрной кредитной корпорации», а также эффективности расходов на науку, внедрению и коммерциализации научных разработок.– Когда ресурсы ограничены, мы не имеем права на неэффективные траты. Распределение бюджета должно быть точечным: только максимальная польза для экономики и граждан, полная открытость и жесткий выбор главных задач. Прошу всех коллег при внесении поправок руководствоваться именно этим подходом, а также помнить о сбалансированности бюджета: предлагаете «плюс», значит где-то нужно будет урезать расходы, – подытожила глава профильного комитета Ольга Перепечина.Дальнейшая работа над проектом республиканского бюджета в Курултае будет проходить под руководством депутата Татьяны Савельевой. Во внимание примут предложения и мнения, высказанные депутатами в ходе обсуждения.После презентации законопроекта состоялся брифинг для представителей СМИ. На вопросы журналистов ответили руководитель рабочей группы Татьяна Савельева, вице-министр финансов Абзал Бейсенбекулы и первый вице-министр национальной экономики Азамат Амрин.#ЗАКОНиПОРЯДОКSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1294071?lang=ru
