Текущий счет платежного баланса Казахстана впервые за три года вышел в профицит 09.10.2026
По данным Национального Банка, в  I полугодии 2026 года текущий счет платежного баланса Казахстана сложился с профицитом 2,4 млрд долларов, или 1,6% ВВП.Для сравнения: по итогам 2025 года дефицит текущего счета составлял 13,1 млрд долларов. Основным фактором улучшения стало опережение темпов роста экспорта над импортом.Что означает профицит текущего счетаТекущий счет платежного баланса отражает внешнеэкономические операции страны, включая торговлю товарами и услугами, а также движение доходов и текущих трансфертов.Профицит означает, что поступления по текущим операциям превышают выплаты за рубеж. Это снижает потребность экономики во внешнем финансировании.Динамика платежного балансаВ течение 2016–2025 годов текущий счет Казахстана был дефицитным в девяти из десяти лет. Средний дефицит составлял около 2,7% ВВП. При этом торговля товарами ежегодно обеспечивала профицит, значительная часть которого компенсировалась выплатами доходов иностранным инвесторам.После профицита в 6,4 млрд долларов в 2022 году текущий счет вновь стал дефицитным: 8,3 млрд долларов в 2023 году, 6,8 млрд — в 2024 году и 13,1 млрд — в 2025 году. На результат 2025 года повлияли снижение цен на нефть и высокий объем импорта.В I полугодии 2026 года сальдо текущего счета улучшилось почти на 6 млрд долларов: с дефицита 3,6 млрд долларов годом ранее до профицита 2,4 млрд долларов. Основное улучшение пришлось на II квартал, когда профицит составил 3,2 млрд долл. США.Таким образом, после трех дефицитных лет текущий счет вновь вышел в положительную зону.Значение профицита для экономикиУвеличивается приток валюты в экономику. В I полугодии ключевую роль сыграло расширение товарного профицита более чем в 2 раза – с 7,7 до 16,2 млрд долл. США. Превышение экспортных поступлений над расходами по импорту, услугам и доходам позволяет в большей степени покрывать внешние расходы собственными валютными доходами, снижая зависимость от внешних заимствований и притока капитала. Уменьшение потребности во внешнем финансировании  снижает уязвимость экономики  к оттоку иностранного капитала и ухудшению условий на мировых финансовых рынках.Укрепляется внешняя устойчивость. Устойчивое предложение валюты от экспортеров снижает давление на валютный рынок и создает условия для накопления внешних активов. Роль государства в формировании платежного балансаГосударство влияет на состояние платежного баланса через управление внешними финансовыми ресурсами, создание условий для инвестиций и проведение экономической политики.Прямое участие связано с управлением резервными активами Национального Банка, средствами Национального фонда и внешними заимствованиями. Косвенное — с формированием инвестиционного климата, привлечением прямых иностранных инвестиций, денежно-кредитной и валютной политикой. Экспорт: рост поставок и увеличение несырьевой составляющейПо данным Нацбанка, в I полугодии 2026 года экспорт товаров по методологии платежного баланса вырос на 27,1%, до 48,5 млрд долларов. Положительная динамика отмечена более чем по 80% товарных позиций.По данным Бюро национальной статистики, за этот же период увеличились поставки меди и медных катодов на 58%, медных руд и концентратов — на 42,9%, урана — на 15,1%, пшеницы — на 28,2%. Экспорт серы вырос в 2,9 раза, серебра — в 2,4 раза.По итогам семи месяцев рост продолжился: экспорт товаров увеличился на 15,8%, до 50,9 млрд долларов. Положительное сальдо внешней торговли достигло 14 млрд долларов, превысив прошлогодний показатель на 5,4 млрд долларов.На фоне роста обрабатывающей промышленности на 9% несырьевой экспорт увеличился на 19,5%, до 18,6 млрд долларов.Экспорт сельскохозяйственной продукции вырос на 34,8%, с 3,7 до 5 млрд долларов. Основной вклад обеспечили пшеница (+25,5%), подсолнечное масло (+49,1%), корма для животных (+68,2%), семена льна (рост в 2,2 раза) и мука (+37,1%). На эти позиции приходится около 60% аграрного экспорта. Импорт: увеличение закупок для производства при снижении потребительского ввозаВ I полугодии 2026 года рост импорта сопровождался изменением его структуры: увеличились закупки оборудования и промежуточных товаров, тогда как ввоз потребительских товаров сократился. Сопоставление данных Национального Банка и БНС показывает, что такая динамика совпадает с расширением инвестиций и выпуска в обрабатывающей промышленности.По данным Бюро национальной статистики, импорт товаров вырос на 5,5%, до 31,5 млрд долларов. Почти половину его объема — 47,6% — составили промежуточные товары. Их импорт увеличился на 14%, до 15 млрд долларов. Доля потребительских товаров составила 26,5%, снизившись на 10,5%.  При этом импорт потребительских непродовольственных товаров в первом полугодии  снизился на 15,4%, составив 5,6 млрд долл. США.По методологии платежного баланса Национального Банка импорт увеличился на 6,2%, до 32,3 млрд долларов. Темпы роста импорта были более чем в четыре раза ниже темпов роста экспорта. По оценке Нацбанка, закупки промежуточных товаров выросли на 13,8%, а импорт непродовольственных потребительских товаров сократился на 11,2%.Импорт инвестиционных товаровИмпорт инвестиционных товаров вырос на 10,6%, до 8,1 млрд долл. США. Увеличение закупок оборудования сопровождается ростом капитальных вложений в промышленность. В частности, вырос импорт электрогенераторных установок на 83%, машин и устройств для подъема, перемещения, погрузки и разгрузки – на 70,1%, оборудования для сортировки и измельчения грунта — в 2,1 раза.Импорт промежуточных товаровРост закупок производственных ресурсов обеспечен увеличением импорта природного газа на 96,3%, турбореактивных двигателей и газовых турбин — в 2,7 раза, нефтепродуктов — на 41,6%, урана — в 2,6 раза и золота — в 6 раз.Производственную направленность закупок подтверждает динамика капитальных вложений. По данным БНС, инвестиции в основной капитал увеличились в реальном выражении на 9,6%, до 9,5 трлн тенге. В обрабатывающей промышленности рост составил 33,3%, до 1,43 трлн тенге, или 15% общего объема инвестиций.Одновременно выпуск обрабатывающей промышленности увеличился на 9,8%, машиностроения — на 23,1%, химической промышленности — на 20,7%.Увеличение импорта оборудования связано в том числе со строительством новых предприятий, расширением действующих производств и технологическим обновлением. Экономический эффект таких вложений проявляется по мере ввода новых мощностей.Импорт потребительских товаров В I полугодии импорт потребительских товаров снизился на 10,5%, до 8,3 млрд долларов. Сократились поставки легковых автомобилей на 21,9%, лекарственных средств — на 18,7%, чемоданов и сумок — на 49,4%, женской текстильной одежды — на 38,9%, кондиционеров — на 34,3%.По данным Национального Банка, снижение импорта непродовольственных потребительских товаров продолжается 11 кварталов подряд, начиная с IV квартала 2023 года.Сокращение ввоза легковых автомобилей происходит на фоне роста отечественного производства. В январе–июне выпуск легковых автомобилей увеличился на 37,2%, до 88 886 единиц, при сохранении продаж в официальном дилерском сегменте. Это указывает на частичное замещение импорта отечественной сборкой.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1307884?lang=ru

Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan: One-Year Limitation Period for Claims Against the Media Does Not Restrict the Right to Judicial Protection 08.10.2026
The Constitutional Court reviewed a petition challenging the constitutionality of paragraph 1 of Article 38 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Mass Media”, which establishes a one-year limitation period for claims against mass media outlets.The petition arose from a dispute concerning a publication that the applicant considered damaging to his honor, dignity and business reputation. The courts dismissed his claims on the grounds that the disputed publication had been released before the Law “On Mass Media” entered into force.The applicant argued that the statutory one-year limitation period restricted his right to judicial protection, as he had become aware of the publication only after the Law entered into force and had no access to the Internet while serving a prison sentence.The Constitutional Court noted that the statutory one-year limitation period does not preclude judicial protection of honor, dignity and business reputation. The law provides for the right to seek a retraction of false information, the publication of a response and compensation for damage caused.The Court emphasized that calculating the limitation period from the date of publication is intended to ensure legal certainty in relations between individuals and mass media outlets. Conversely, calculating the period exclusively from the date on which a person became aware of the publication could create uncertainty regarding the length of time during which such claims may be brought against the media.The Court further stated that establishing when a person became aware of a publication, determining whether they had a genuine opportunity to obtain the relevant information, and assessing the supporting evidence fall within the competence of the court hearing the specific case.Accordingly, the Constitutional Court found no indication that the challenged provision violated the constitutional right to judicial protection.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ksrk/press/news/details/1307419?lang=ru

An enterprise for the production of 400 tons of fish per year has been opened in the Almaty region 08.10.2026
В Илийском районе Алматинской области запущено предприятие «Бақыт», рассчитанное на производство до 400 тонн рыбы в год. Объем инвестиций в проект составил 500 млн тенге. Хозяйство, открывшееся в селе М. Туймебаева, занимается не только выращиванием рыбы, но и изготовлением необходимых для этого сетчатых ограждений и их комплектующих. Как сообщает пресс-служба акима Алматинской области, это первое в Казахстане производство такого оборудования.В церемонии открытия предприятия принял участие заместитель акима Алматинской области Бақытнұр Бақытұлы. Он отметил, что реализация проекта имеет значение не только для развития рыбного хозяйства, но и для укрепления сельской экономики.«Этот проект направлен на развитие рыбного хозяйства региона, поддержку отечественного производства и укрепление экономики села. Сегодня продукция предприятия поставляется и используется рыбными хозяйствами не только Алматинской области, но и Восточно-Казахстанской, Павлодарской, Туркестанской, Западно-Казахстанской областей, а также области Жетісу. Это свидетельствует о высоком спросе на отечественное оборудование и вкладе предприятия в развитие рыбного хозяйства страны. Уверен, что в дальнейшем хозяйство «Бақыт» будет расширять производство и обеспечивать население качественной продукцией», – сказал Бакытнур Бакытулы.По его словам, развитию рыбного хозяйства в регионе уделяется особое внимание. В этом году на его поддержку из бюджета выделено 1 млрд тенге субсидий. Сегодня в области работают 53 рыбоводческих хозяйства. В прошлом году здесь произвели 5,8 тыс. тонн рыбы. В текущем году объем планируется довести до 10 тыс. тонн, а к 2030 году – до 20 тыс. тонн. Новое хозяйство в селе М. Туймебаев должно внести свой вклад в достижение этих показателей, одновременно создавая новые возможности для развития предпринимательства и занятости на селе.На предприятии рыбу выращивают в специальных сетчатых садках, установленных в центре озера. По словам руководителя хозяйства Бакыта Алдыбаева, в воду сначала запускают мальков весом около 200 граммов. Уже через три месяца они достигают веса 2,5–3 килограммов. Рыбу кормят экологически чистыми кормами.Первые результаты хозяйство уже получило: на сегодняшний день произведено более 100 тонн продукции. Для этого используются 12 садков. В следующем году объем производства планируют довести до 400 тонн, увеличив их количество до 30.Сегодня на предприятии работают 15 специалистов. Они следят за состоянием рыбы и всеми процессами ее выращивания. Необходимые для хозяйства сетчатые конструкции предприятие изготавливает самостоятельно, а сами сети пока импортируются из-за рубежа. В дальнейшем здесь планируют открыть цех по их производству. Это позволит увеличить объемы выпуска продукции, а число рабочих мест – до 45–50.Открытие нового производства стало заметным событием и для жителей села. Они связывают с ним не только появление новых рабочих мест, но и возрождение рыбного хозяйства.«То, что в нашем селе реализуется такой хороший проект, – это действительно радует. Он оживляет жизнь населенного пункта и создает новые возможности. Когда-то рыбное хозяйство на нашем озере было хорошо развито, но в трудные времена пришло в упадок. Поэтому я рад, что это направление сегодня вновь возрождается», – сказал житель села Әмзе Исаев.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almobl/press/news/details/1307567?lang=ru

The Jas Tarlan payphone card system has been introduced in the maximum security institution of the Abai region 08.10.2026
       A modern system of Jas Tarlan payphone cards has been introduced in the maximum security institution of the Penal correction System in the Abai region, which allows convicts to keep in touch with relatives and friends in accordance with the requirements of the penal enforcement legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.         The new system has greatly simplified the process of using telephone communication. Now relatives of convicts can remotely replenish the balance of a payphone card, and its owners can independently control the balance of funds and view the transaction history through an electronic service.         The Jas Tarlan payphone card is a modern digital tool designed for telephone communication in institutions of the penitentiary system. The service ensures transparency of financial transactions, eliminates the need to transfer cash and allows relatives to replenish the card account at any time without visiting the institution in person.            — The introduction of modern digital solutions is aimed at improving the quality of services provided. Creating comfortable and transparent conditions for maintaining socially useful relationships is one of the important tasks of the penal system. The use of modern services makes it possible to make the telephone communication process more convenient for both convicts and their relatives," said the head of the institution, Aydin Kalelov.         — I come from Almaty. Only my mother is waiting for me at home, she is 76 years old. Due to her age and long distance, she cannot often come to me for long dates, so telephone communication is very important for us. Now mom can remotely replenish my card balance, and we have the opportunity to communicate much more often. It's very convenient for our family," the convict shared.           The introduction of the Jas Tarlan system has become another step in the digitalization of penal institutions. The new technology contributes to the creation of more convenient, open and modern conditions for maintaining socially useful relationships between convicts and their loved ones, which is one of the important factors of their social adaptation and successful re-socialization.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1307599?lang=ru
